Shadow of Fate

Back in 2016 I released my Music For Schools album. I thought that I would start work on volume 2.

As with the first volume these tracks will try and get some of the feel of the soundtracks from the schools TV programmes that I grew up with in the 70s and 80s.

This track is all mixed in AUM and makes use of the apps Fundamental, auGENx, ID700, Fugue Machine and Rozeta LFO. Effects came from Eventide Shimmerverb.

These clips were taken from our "Three Guitars" improvisation recorded on the 24th of September 2021. The title comes from the fact that many of the sounds featured in the jam come from sounds kindly provided by two experimental guitarist/sound designers: Roland Reinke, aka @encym, and Turu Ibe, aka @drunkenforest, from Germany and Japan respectively. Si completed the trio of guitarists with some of his own heavily treated guitars! 

The full jam was aired in the second half of Sonic Soup For the Mind 4, aired on CampFR Radio on 22/10/21.

The Quiet Mystery Of Dawn (naviarhaiku443)

Next year is György Ligeti's centenary. It might be an occasion to draw some attention also to Ligeti’s class, and an occasion to recontextualise some of the works by Ligeti and his students – in the end, Ligeti loved Jazz, was open to Pop music, loved the music of the Banda-Linda, the Pygmies, the Gbaya people and many other non-European traditions, he took sides with great maverick composers like Conlon Nancarrow and Harry Partch… and I guess he was the first avant-garde composer to do concerts together with Pygmy musicians. (Which, in my eyes, should be the future of music.)
So that’s why I was, and am, thinking about a remix project involving Ligeti’s works as well as works of his students. Between Oct. 2021 and March 2022, I was lucky to have been sponsored by the GEMA as part of the program “Neustart Kultur” (Culture New Start). 

The present track is a remix of “Capra”, a work for violin solo by Manfred Stahnke

…rather “ethno” and far from any techno influences: the violin part, played by Michael Kollars, was cut&rearranged and surrounded by a quadruple canon in the proportion 12:13 in rhythm as well as intervals, reflecting Manfred Stahnke’s love for the strange polyphony of the Ars Subtilior, many non-European traditions, Conlon Nancarrow, Harry Partch and Ben Johnston – another great maverick, if you’re interested, please listen to the magical, strange but in the end incredibly logical and soothing slow movement of his 7th String Quartet:

(For German readers: Manfred Stahnke wrote an essay on this movement which will be published in the next volume of the journal "Musik und Ästhetik", "Ben Johnston und seine Notation an einem Extrempunkt: Beispiele aus seinem Streichquartett Nr. 7, 3. Satz.")

…and last not least, thanks also to WAVES for producing a cheap but efficient sampler (COSMO) that makes microtonal tunings easy!
