Wonderful, just reacquainting myself back to my Norns and Grid after setting up my Eurorack. CC2 was always my fav script. Is the synth sound Just Friends?

A study in the performance of Dan Derks Cheat Codes 2 script for Norns.

A single live performance - all sounds from CC2 and Norns tape.

Bank A setup as a whole bar arp @ 0.5x rate using first half of live buffer which includes melodic info
Bank B set up as 1/8 note arp @ 1x rate using whole live buffer which includes melodic and rhythmic info
Bank C set up as euclidian pattern 11/14 set to span and auto rotate set to 1 - using first half of live buffer which includes melodic info. 

Using delay page to effect all banks and to provide new looping melodic info.

CC2 has been such a wild ride - I have wanted something like this for the past 15 years! And along comes this script...Mind blowing work by its author and I'm super excited to see where it may take future sonic possibilities.

Here is the stereo mix of a surround sound composition I created for the art exhibition 'Liminal Spaces' at the State Textile and Industry Museum (tim) im Augsburg to accompany the work of Dorothee Aschoff. 

I mixed some of my ambient music pieces and natural ambiences from my field recordings on a quadrophonic Sound System at the exhibition.

The Cover here shows one of the works of Dorothee Aschoff that were shown in the exhibition.

LIMINAL SPACES - SOUND FOR ART EXHIBITION

We've Met Before, Haven't We? explores the complex web of harmonics based on the notes of the cimbalom most closely in tune with the harmonic series, A, D, and E. The violin emphasizes the resonance of the cimbalom harmonics, with a particular focus on the very rarely heard 43rd
harmonic. In this way, the piece serves to investigate the more theoretical upper reaches of the
harmonic series, and create a soundworld out of frequencies very rarely used in music.

Seeking a respite from the noise and clamour of New York City, Eric Phillips and some friends moved for a time out to a remote area on the Olympic peninsula. With no fixed plan in mind, this period of adventure and discovery spent in the beautiful Pacific Northwest gradually seeped into an organically evolving musical vision for Kennebec.  

In many ways, ‘Departure’ catalogues this time of his move out west. Eventually moving to Portland to find work as a teacher, film composer, and mentorship under Mark Orton (Nebraska, Tin Hat.) Kennebec’s producing of ‘Departure’ began in Spring 2017. It took two long years of patient, daily labour to complete the album, during which time influences such as Studio Ghibli soundtrack composer Joe Hisaishi, cult hip hop artist Nujabes as well as Australia’s Taylor Crawford and Tycho’s ambient electronica began to permeate the soundworld. On February 14th 2020, Night Time Stories, sister label of acclaimed Late Night Tales, will release his much anticipated debut album and Kennebec will become part of an internationally respected roster including Khraungbin, Leifur James and Ash Walker. 

He scored parts for classical guitar, ngoni, kalimba, bass, piano and Rhodes all of which he plays himself on ‘Departure’. Phillips began writing violin and viola parts for friend and collaborator Mirabai Peart (Joanna Newsom, Alela Diane, Ryan Francesconi), whose balkan inflections and beautiful tone became a defining sound of the record — and eventually tied the album together. All tracks on the album were mixed by Phillips. 

On ‘Departure’, organic beats and soaring string lines envelope the listener with a dreamful kind of optimism. New single ‘Seasons Change’ is a silky myriad of sounds, textures and techniques that melt against a backdrop of subtle electronics, while ‘Kalahari’ glistens with curiosity and adventure as magnetic strings meet with a mosaic of horns. Elsewhere, the melancholic and wistful moods of ‘Wellspring’ provide a moment of reflection before the warm, fuzzy, feel good grooves of ‘Quest’, embellished by flutes and sax, venture into more overt atmospherics and fluid modulations.

“Recording ‘Departure’ was an amazing learning experience for me as a producer, composer and musician. It was a concentrated period of time in my life that was fully dedicated to focusing in on my craft. To me, the songs sound like journal entries — they bring me back to those specific times and places, but I also write music in an active, intentional way to try and summon the better parts of myself day to day to come to life and fruition. I have to be doing something new and experimenting to be inspired musically and I also wanted the music to be evocative of that sense of discovery in an almost physical sense —  a sense of journey, motion and exploration of new spaces. The passing of time, setting out,” says Phillips. 

He adds, “I wanted to make something bold and ambitious that sounded fresh and different. I think I took a big swing with this album, and, while I feel it’s impossible to fully nail the vision and intention, I’m really proud of it and the sense of idealism, even if naive at times. Hopefully it’s just fun to listen to someone take a big swing like that.”

In addition to the Kennebec project, Phillips has enjoyed working on and composing the music for numerous feature films, shorts, national parks films, documentaries (including 2017’s National Geographic ‘From the Ashes’), advertisements and video games. Films Phillip’s has worked on have screened and are set to screen at the Toronto, Napa Valley and Big Sky film festivals as well as National Geographic and more.

Kennebec - Seasons Change

May the winds of change breath new life into our daily action.
May we connect with the essence of what resonates within
and not get caught up on semantics.
May we channel our energy into what is essential to our being,
Taking inspiration in the delicate forces of nature,
May we channel it into all that is vital.
May loving kindness be the vehicle,
And may it know no bounds.

To cultivate Inner Smile
and ripple back out in all directions...
