This one definitely conveys movement, and based on your description I think that was the goal! 👍👍

Thanks Damon,
This is really gorgeous and keeps me hooked to the end.
What did you use for sequencing?
It has bits that remind me of one of my favourite Daniel Lentz pieces from the 1980s.
Also, going back further in minimalist history, Hugh Shrapnel's Cantation for Piano in the '70s
but I haven't found a recording of it anywhere on the googleverse  I have a feeling that I have never actually heard it performed. I think that, as a teen, I tried to play it from the dots in a book from the library and it stuck in my head.

Nice track.
Remember me "repetitive music" by Terry Riley.

rodney I used two SEQ16s, nothing outside the system. After composing the two counterpoint lines, the subtle changes are derived from using the wire reset on each sequencer. First it's wired to 3/3. As the piece moves forward, I manually patch each wire to a the next available slot, but always leaving one ahead of the other to try and achieve some form of phasing. 3/4, 4/5, 5/6 and etc until all 16 steps are playing in counterpoint to one another. The various rhythmic patters are purely coincidental. Once the piece climaxes as the LFO driving the FM on the 2/OCS speeds up to the point of oscillating on it's own, I reverse the process by manually patching the wires 16/15, 14/13, 12/11 and so on until they return to near where they started. I stop at 4/3 because I like the 4 against three pattern. At this point the oscillators have floated out of tune, thus I need a quantizer/buffer. Jihel Yup! Reilly, Reich, Glass, Adams all the minimalists, that's what I'm going for. If I add two more sequencers and a couple more VCAs, I should achieve a lot of the phasing effects many of the minimalists used. slowscape Yup. I was thinking about Einstein's General and Specific Relativity. I also heard a lecture by a scientist who via computer model showed how the stars are moving. It's bind blowing. We see them and they look fixed. Our sun is revolving around the galaxy at, what, 574,000 miles per hour or something? All the other stars are moving at similar speed, but from our perspective relative those speeds and incredible distances, they look fixed.

I super liked it. It is quite a long track. Very Eno-esque I thought. Nice and busy with lots of movement. I would really like to hear an album of stuff.

I would really like to hear an album of stuff. I'm working on it! In the meantime my first album is already up on Bandcamp: blackwarriorlures.bandcamp.com/album/cantus-fluminis-music-of-the-riverThe first album was with the Start II. It's more sound scapes than anything. The upcoming album "Relativity" with me minimal stuff that you heard in the first post. |
