Photosynthesis

The complexification for this project was based in the collaborative process between @alexrainer and @lethatechnique (aka Las Wolski): sitting down together late Saturday afternoon in the middle of a Central European heat wave, deciding on samples to use, wielding Ableton Live and a Korg nanoKontrol with four hands, meshing processed samples of the distant "Complexification" tracks with local field recordings, deciding on pitch shifting and resonator notes and beat repeats, digressions into discussing the tritone (“the Devil’s interval”) and initial impressions of "Making Music" by Dennis DeSantis, figuring out how to finalize while keeping the track short and varied, and trying to stay hydrated. Break for a walk to Corner Burger in Kazimierz and for Żywiec Białe throughout the evening. The result is a short slice of sinister heat wave dub.

Manipulated beats from the beginning, bell-like synth sounds from the middle, and scattershot percussive sounds from the end of “Complexification0010GB." Added field recordings of a drunk singing down ulica Chodkiewicza, a random streetside whip-slapshot sound, and some revelers toasting at Forum Przestrzenie. Counter-balanced the whip-slapshots with a recording of a big ole China cymbal from the previous week’s drum session at Studio Savant. Threw “Complexification0010SH” into Ableton’s Granulator for another instrument to generate complex textures.

Las Wolski - Centraal

“One can only arrive at the experience of the transcendental – if it is reached at all – when one is oneself in a position of un-knowing, that is, of humility; namely, while remaining in the world of technê he or she begins to venerate a certain kind of experience, acquires it, makes it one’s own, realizes it, sustains it, repeats it – without burdening its sense, its essence with its own great questions.” - László Krasznahorkai, “The Acropolis in Sunglasses”
