Asymmetry 2

This is based on the same processes and structures as yesterday with a bit of fiddling and different instruments. 2005-10-05

Asymmetry

Getting away from the highly structured approach of the last few days and back to my usual disorder. This is a looping piece, sort of. There are loops, buy they’re slightly different each time they show up. There’s also lots of simulated tape saturation in this to give it a bit of a 1970’s sound. […]

Symmetry 4

Exploring further on the same track. I’ve thinned it out a little bit, having each instrument rest for a few bars determined by a bilaterally symmetrical pattern. 2005-10-03

Symmetry 3

I added two half-tempo basses to the track. Because they’re exactly half tempo, the length is not changed, but they fill out the track quite nicely. 2005-10-02

Symmetry 2

I think this one shows promise, so I’m going to work on developing it further. I’ve added another cello and viola, each at 110 bpm and this time playing the melody a fifth higher. It’s twice as long too, because the new tempo takes that long to get back in sync. 2005-10-01

Symmetry

This is a phasing piece, but more structured than usual for me. There are two melodies, one played by three cellos, the other by three violas. Each group of instruments plays the same melody several times at three different tempos, 120, 100, and 80 beats per minute. They stop playing at the point when they […]

Resonation

Tweaking yesterday’s mix here. I’ve added more delays and resonators and moved it to a different space in the final mix. 2005-09-29

Resonance

I took the setup from the 24th and slowed it way, way down and added some modeled analog delays. The idea is to take more time to explore the resonances in the space. 2005-09-28

Even more

This is a variation on yesterday’s track with new instruments and a different space. 2005-09-27

More sounds

Here’s some more phasing loops, placed in Laukyrkan. 2005-09-26
