Seven Short Pieces

Each Crow Hill Company Vaults Beta instrument enters in order of its release - sort of a reverse Haydn "Farewell" Symphony.

For the Crow Hill Company composer challenge. 

This was made using exclusively the free “Vaults” instruments from Crow Hill. 

The brief didn’t specify to use only Vaults, just to include them all, however I decided to keep to Vaults alone as they fitted well. 

The Mode given / chosen from the competition page is E-Phrygian. 

To make some “different” sounding instruments I just used sound design via FX plugins from Logic X and Reason 11 and BlueCat. For example the “bell” sound is actually from the Vaults Celestatone. 

Hope you enjoy! :) 

I have other tracks recently opened up on SoundCloud which represent some of what I’m doing currently. Feel free to message to find out more. Also interested in work / projects if suitable :)

(a longer excerpt with different statistics)

A few years ago, I was fascinated by playing virtual memory swap files as audio. I wrote an algorithm to synthesize/simulate the way data structures are layed out in memory with some control over it. This is an excerpt of that process (the algorithm runs forever).
