Collective Resonance pt.IV.

Pandora

This track isn’t about giving up - it’s about finally loosening your grip. It starts suspended, almost hesitant, and then slowly gathers itself into a layered rise of strings, voices, and melodies that feel bigger not because they’re louder, but because they’re... lighter.

Letting Go

This track was created for the Naviar Haiku group.

A quiet cabin; (Naviarhaiku 624)

19 Dec - The Vanishing White

This track pairs with Warmth and Meaning. Two tracks made over two days using similar processes and serendipitously similar sample sources (same notes, different instruments, and two samples separated by about 30 years). 

I've been inspired lately by the folks from the Studio Obscura discord group* using tape loops (or similar kinds of processing techniques) to create these beautiful saturated walls of sound. 

I went down a massive rabbit hole exploring these ideas and while I was trying to understand how the Instruo Lubadh tape looper module works, and so I set the DAW recording and made a really long jam just playing with these tiny piano grains on the Intellijel Multigrain into the Lubadh, with a field recorder and a reverb - and oh my god - it's just a magical world-creating machine.

Honestly I feel like I could sell everything else and keep these three boxes and make music until I die. 

The source recording had a lot of very high-end noise from a rogue connection that I didn't notice until I played it back, so I had to go full Bleeptwig on it after that with EQ and layering in textures that ended up shaping it in a really beautiful way. 

(The piano was added in this version, originally I'd planned a single note just to connect couple of sections and the background ambience to the foreground, but then it turned into this little kind of lament, so I plan to go back and rework the original to be even more ambient at some point.)

Anyway.

* Ping me if you're interested in joining the group, just some really great folks making mostly ambient music, most of the time.

Comfort and Light

The all consuming space.

This track started as a wickedly fun live jam with a harp sample fed from Multigrain into the Instruo Lubadh, with bass from the incredible Serge Medusa and the Vhikk X. 

Just a few ornaments added in post to clean it up. Ok, a whole lot of cleaning up. It had to be done.

Nostalgia

An energized remix of the wonderful Learning to Say Goodbye, by Our Forgotten Future.

Say something.

I love how Our Forgotten Future's work builds up slowly into these emotionally saturated scenes - and I find this form lends itself perfectly to these kind of driving, layered pieces that add rhythmic energy to take these textures into new directions.

I processed the whole tonal layer (minus the field recorded parts) through a resonator, distortion, saturator, and through multiple reverb layers to get this slightly gnarly polyrhythmic element with some scattered snares - initially random then meticulously edited and placed ... and the bass drum was kind of inevitable. 

(The whole track is not quantized at all, I'm sure it will annoy any drummers out there and if anyone did ever try to mix this they would have a challenge :D)

I am hopeful for more collabs like in 26, it's so satisfying and rewarding to work with other artists whose music resonates. Here's to the producer community.
