TWO SUNS

Patch featuring the Serge STS Klangzeit panel. The master clock is one side of a DTG. It pings a VQVCF. The bandpass output is routed into a WAD. The flanging output of the WAD is routed into the frequency shifter via a crossfader module and then back into the AUX feedback input of the WAD. 

The DTG also triggers a sequencer and Clock-divider. The A output of the Sequencer is routed to the VC Delay of the WAD. One of the outputs of the Clock-divider samples the stepped out of a SSG, the stepped output is routed back to the VC-in of the DTG. This creates the sudden speed bumps of the pulse. One of the outputs of the clock divider is routed back via a MI Branches (build in 4U by the wonderful Loudest Warning) into the reset input of the divider. 
Another output triggers a DTG that shapes the volume of a NTO, this creates the bass drops (sine output). The NTO is FM-ed by a precision-VCO. The output of the NTO is routed via a R*S timbre section to create some extra weight to the bass drops.  The variable output of the NTO (Sine) is also routed to the WAD feedback input. I wiggle the Sine wave based sounds with the Flanger output of the WAD with a crossfader module. When selecting the NTO/Sine site the output becomes more chime-like and when choosing the WAD Flanger output (via the Frequency Shifter) the output become more ‘wooden’ and percussive.

I wiggle the frequency of the VQVCF and the frequencies of the WAD and Frequency Shifter. I also vary the speed settings of the DTG.

This patch is recorded in one take, no overdubbing. I’ve cut it down a bit to make it less boring. Tracked into ProTools via a Rupert Neve Designs 5059 and Prism AD.  Reverb (Adaptiverb) and limiting (Ozone 7) were added on the master fader.  Listen with headphones or good speakers!

Anna Meredith - Orlok

Michel van der Aa (Netherlands, 1970) is a truly multidisciplinary figure in contemporary music. A unique voice, he combines composition with film and stage direction, and script writing. Classical instruments, voices, electronic sound, actors, theatre and video are all seamless extensions of his musical vocabulary.

Before studying composition (with Diderik Wagenaar, Gilius van Bergeijk and Louis Andriessen), Van der Aa trained first as a recording engineer at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In 2002 he broadened his skills with studies in film direction, at the New York Film Academy, and in 2007 he participated in the Lincoln Center Theater Director’s Lab, an intensive course in stage direction.

Van der Aa’s musical materials are hard to tease apart, constantly switching between stasis and high energy, concrete and abstract, acoustic and electronic, ‘pure’ and processed, brand new and half-remembered. Many of them are as visual as they are aural. The possibilities of digital and audio- visual technology often feature, not as a surface gloss to his work but at the core of his artistic outlook.

Another important aspect to Van der Aa’s is collaboration and interdisciplinarity. He has worked with leading classical performers such as Sol Gabetta, Barbara Hannigan,Janine Jansen, Christianne Stotijn and Roderick Williams, as well as the Portuguese fado singer Ana Moura, pop acts Kate Miller-Heidke and These New Puritans, and well-known European actors like Klaus Maria Brandauer, Samuel West and João Reis.

His music has been performed by ensembles and orchestras worldwide, including musikFabrik , ICE, Tokyo Sinfonietta, Ensemble Modern, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Chamber Players, SWR orchestra Baden-Baden & Freiburg, the ASKO|Schoenberg ensemble, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Phiharmonia Orchestra London and the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra.
He has been a featured artist at the Perth Tura New Music Festival and Holland Festival. He is a regular guest of the Berliner Festspiele, Venice Biennale, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Gaudeamus Music Week, Opera de Lyon, Huddersfield Festival and Warsaw Autumn. Additionally his compositions have been performed at the Festival d’Automne à Paris, LA Philharmonic New Music Series, Lucerne Festival, Tokyo Suntory Summer Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Festival, Moscow Music Week and Oslo Ultima Festival.

Van der Aa has won acclaim for his multimedia works for the stage and concert hall (not only the operas One, After Life and The Book of Disquiet, but also Up-Close, and Transit for piano and video). He has directed both the filmed and staged elements of all of these works. His operas have been staged in more than a dozen countries, with After Life andThe Book of Disquiet being regularly revived.

In 1999 Michel Van der Aa was the first Dutch composer to win the prestigious International Gaudeamus Prize. Subsequent awards include the Matthijs Vermeulen prize (2004), a Siemens Composers Grant (2005), the Charlotte Köhler Prize for his directing work and the interdisciplinary character of his oeuvre (2005), the Paul Hindemith Prize (2006), and the Kagel Prize (2013). Michel van der Aa has won the 2013 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his multimedia work Up-Close. In 2015 Michel van der Aa has been awarded the prestigious Johannes Vermeer Award, the Dutch state prize for the arts.
