I'm embarking on a new project series that will focus on long-form generative eurorack pieces. I was delighted to discover the ability to use the Generations generative midi controller that was created by Innesti (innesti.bandcamp.com/merch/generations-handmade-midi-controller) with the 1010 Bitbox Micro, and so this combination created the foundation for the piece. I very much consider this to be a companion piece to my recently released 'Generational Drift-A Seasonal Reflection in Four Movements' on Handstiched* (handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/generational-drift-the-celestial-sphere), as some of the elements are shared, as well as the use of Generations, however, this feels quite a bit warmer...thus Spring.

Basic patch notes~

Generations triggering four midi clips in Bitbox, as well as modulating various parameters (pan, filter cut off). Other samples in Bitbox triggered by random gates from Marbles, witch is slowly clocked by PNW. White noise triggering ProbMel/ProbDiv in O_c Hemispheres, which is delicately playing Rings, which then goes thru Draad and Monsoon. Øchd is creating an offset drone from Ensemble Osc and Plaits + Three Sisters, all while sending modulation to various param's throughout..

Recorded 4/21/24...Eurorack > Bluebox > Ableton, and then a basic mastering chain..

I hope you'll enjoy, and hopefully I'll be able to continue with these bits for the foreseeable future :)

Ιπποδάμεια θλίψης
Με μπρούτζινες κόγχες
Χείλη που λείπουν
Νύχτες Ντροπής

Ιπποδάμεια Έρις
γυμνόστηθη Θλίψης
Οι μύες συσπώνται
Και το κτήνος ηχεί

Ιπποδάμεια Θλίψης
Πεφωτισμένη βροχή
Και το σώμα νεκρό
Μαρμάρινο λευκό

Ιπποδάμεια Έρις
Στην αγκαλιά της σιωπής
Του Θησέως η σάρκα
γροθιά μεταλλική


Νεκρικη σιγή
Η αγάπη που σβήνει
Τα μάτια θυμάμαι
Το χέρι αφήνει
Ο αέρας παρασέρνει
Τις ανάσες των ξένων
Και η φτώχεια ενδότερη
την σάρκα υμνεί
Νεκρικη Σιγή
Ιπποδάμεια Θλίψης
Νεκρική ΣΙγή
Ιπποδάμεια θλίψης

Ιπποδάμεια Θλίψης
