One of my first experiments in algorithmic improvisation. Using an arpeggiator of sorts I've developed in Max/MSP, I control the dynamics and chord voicing with the angle of my iPhone, while using the mouse to select chords and alter the ostinatos that are looping. I haven't done any post-production on this, so it's not a composition but a raw, unvarnished improvisation, complete with awkward moments that don't really work and many more moments that I absolutely adore... I'm curious to hear what you all think!

William Philipson - Sparrow

Euseng Seto aka Flica needs no introduction to the indie electronic scene, especially for the fans of mü-nest label. After his exquisite "Betwixt" EP released by mü-nest label in early 2021 (as part of the label’s “Music For Home” series - listen to the series >here<), the prolific artist followed up with a number of singles and EPs throughout the year.

As the new year arrives, he again returns to his home label with a breathtakingly beautiful remix single – an imaginative rework of label mate D & The Compass’ IDM infused track “La luna”. Sitting down on a hill after dusk, seeing the city skylight with full moon hang on the night sky, cars passing by from faraway street, and street lights twinkling from far distance, Flica used these scenery as the inspiration to rework D & The Compass’ track into a calm, minimal, waltz-like rhythm piano piece, resulting in a striking sonic difference to the original track that was filled with psychedelic IDM grooves.

La luna (Flica’s Moonlight Remix) is the second instalment in a series of re-imagining and re-work of selected tracks from mü-nest label's "Music For Home" series.

An intense but hopefully rewarding listen, this is a meditation on the vulnerability, fear, sorrow, anguish, hope, love and resolve of Christ, as he prayed to be spared of the crucifixion to follow the next day. Written in 2000 and recorded in workshop by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.


Gethsemane

This is my submission to Tahlia’s composition game Theme & Isolations where you use themes written by other people to create a piece of music.

I took the first half of the second theme and turned it into an ostinato and played the first theme over the top of it.

The result is something quite generic and sounds like it's coming to a music library near you.

But hey I'm first!

Theme & Isolations

This composition was created spontaneously. I composed an opening piano melody. The title immediately appeared in my head. I realized that it would be a very emotional composition. And then in two days everything else was composed.
