Borgore & Addison - School Daze (Borgore & Tisoki Remix)

Thank you all for the support you've given me on Jammu. I'm incredibly grateful and in return would like to share "Lazer Love" with you, a collaboration with Vaski and Francisca Hall. They are both extremely talented and the result is something I truly love. I hope you will too.

Lazer Love (Single)

KSHMR & Vaski - Lazer Love (ft. Francisca Hall) [Free Download]

An example of a 21st century transition from MONOCHROMATIC music systems (combinations and contrasts of black and white with static, absolute, linear pitch and intervallic relationships) to a POLYCHROMATIC paradigm (encompassing higher-resolution, 'aural color' pitch gradation systems with dynamic, relative, nonlinear and/or linear pitch color interrelationships).

Technological advances in musical hardware and software design have enabled vast development possibilities in the creation of new musical languages that cultivate our high levels of auditory discrimination (high-resolution hearing) and nonlinear characteristics of hearing (pitch/intervallic relativity, interactive harmonics, dynamic 'shape/texture' dimensionality);

...in contrast to current music systems which compromise our highly sensitive auditory perceptual abilities within simple, low-resolution, linear musical languages.

Aural resolution: 106 pitches per octave.

A microtonal 'bridge' composition attempting to convey an overlapping aesthetic intersection between a progressive extreme of conventional concepts/practices and a conservative extreme of radical innovation. A use of conventional melodic/harmonic structures, within an expanded, 'higher resolution', microtonal context.

Presenting an example of the transient outer reaches (and starting point) of the perception/conception of an immense musical universe; just beneath the surface of complacent convention...

An increasingly comprehensive context of understanding 'Art' as an integral process in conscious evolution.

Seeking via the strengths of auditory awareness, to present new experiences, challenges and innovations from which to expand awareness. New dimensions of understanding which have been perceptually inaccessible, except through aural experience.

A process facilitated by the presentation of 'aesthetic perceptual challenges' by which to catalyze our latent capacities to experience, understand, integrate and develop Gestalt awareness.

And an ongoing struggle with presenting intuitive ideas in discursive language; within which, any attempt toward increasing expressive clarity, paradoxically becomes more abstract and difficult to understand (obscured in complexity). An expressive process in such striking distinction to a wholistic intuitive sense of dynamic, complex structure, insights and ideas existing beyond linguistic words/symbols.

... leading us back to understanding Artistic creations as expressive exemplars (hints, intimations) of elements/essences of experience that are linguistically inexpressible.

'Toward The Continuum' - 2nd Iteration

An intuitive, musical exploration of harmonic 'superspace'.

Continuing musical explorations in a journey toward the outer limits of polychromatic harmonic interactions, while maintaining a quasi-tonal orientation for conventional musical reference, as a point of departure.

This composition attempts to convey a sense that to the 3 spatial dimensions of length, width and depth, can be added a 4th dimension of auditory spacetime. That is, of duration and the evolving expression of multidimensional shapes and other qualia (immeasurable phenomena) accessible only through auditory perception.

Aural resolution: 106 pitches per octave (106ET)

'Spatial Harmonics' - polychromatic composition by Dolores Catherino

recurrence - a sense of déjà vu when experiencing something radically new; a feeling that time is not only linear - past, present, future... but also recurs out of linear sequence, in a kind of temporal superposition.

A polychromatic composition performed on the Microzone u648. 
Auditory resolution: 72 notes per octave

'recurrence'... polychromatic composition by Dolores Catherino

‘Sentience’ - the human capacity to feel, perceive and experience subjectively; in distinction to the ability to think (reason).

In response to the growing extension of Artificial Intelligence into areas like musical creativity, this polychromatic composition uses music technology as an assistant to the human imagination. This approach is in contrast to different varieties of creativity which use technology to generate musical elements for human editing and arrangement.

Rapidly advancing technology is leading to the replacement of more human activities while also modifying human involvement into roles as assistant, support and maintenance in service to technology. In many respects, because of the digitization/quantization of musical elements in MIDI, music is at the forefront of this trend as we see the impacts of technological replacement of musicians and more recently, songwriters.

Music and art express a different kind of knowledge, intelligence and experience from that of scientific, logical, and mathematical areas.

‘Artificial Intelligence’ is, at best, a simile or metaphor for awareness. Understanding of meaning and relevance are beyond its computational framework, which can, with increasing sophistication, display mere imitations of unquantifiable processes of mind.

As AI amasses ever-increasing quantities of information, hierarchically organized and structured through programmed algorithms, the conception of ‘artificial intelligence’ is being extended into similes of ‘consciousness’ and ‘creativity’. This idea seems to presume that increasing quantities of information somehow transform into (or become a surrogate for) awareness and the meaningful understanding and expression of sentient qualities. In contrast to the statistical idea of ‘quality’ of information, ‘qualities’ are based in sentience - subjective awareness, perception, experience, meaning and emotional expression - as well as intelligence.

Recently, IBM’s Watson (AI computer), Google’s Magenta Project, and Sony’s Flow Machines software have been promoted as ‘composing’ music, and as demonstrating musical ‘creativity’. They accomplished this artistic simile by compiling musical data and analyzing the data by given rules (logic, forms and patterns of musical expression), then producing variant combinations under algorithmic control. Maybe a better characterization of this AI process would have been a ‘generative variation’ of musical forms and patterns.

While a remarkable technological advancement, this generative process of AI music is fundamentally different from a human creative process based in empirical understanding, and subjective meanings associated with musical expression. The human creative process in composition uses musical languages to express aspects and qualities of human sentience.

Musical meaning and relevance have always been immersed in a context of time and place, of subjective and collective awareness, aspirations and concerns. In our era, human music and art, while seemingly under threat of replacement and obsolescence to AI, are in a position to clarify the distinction and capacities of human ‘sentience’ and artificial ‘intelligence’. And in this process, hopefully help us gain a deeper awareness of both, balanced in application, as synergetic rather than competing processes.

'Sentience'

By request, a posting of one of my first polychromatic compositions with the Tonal Plexus. 106 notes per octave.

A musical journey toward hearing and expressing an undivided pitch Continuum. An immensity of auditory 'colors', conventionally condensed into 12 coarse pitch gradations of our black and white, chromatic language. 

This is a polychromatic composition utilizing 106 pitches per octave. A 'bridge' composition intended to expand aural perception and awareness of microtonal pitch 'color' and harmony within a quasi-conventional musical context.

A composition presented with the hope of expanding the traditional (absolute) conception of fixed pitch/intervals in music toward awareness of an undivided continuum of (relative) spectral pitch 'colors' and interrelationships.

... as an awareness of the infinite potential varieties of 'red' would be to a visual artist, both in isolation and within the context of the surrounding colors and illumination.

'Toward The Continuum'

Duration - expressing the mysterious process which lies between the measured data points used in scientifically describing motion, time, space, mind etc. A temporal gestalt existing beyond the conceptual 'collapsing' of dynamic process into a succession of static measurements in numerical language; where the 'shell' (appearance) becomes increasingly clarified while the core (essence) becomes increasingly obscured.

The idea of 'duration' as a continuous, integrated process hints at aspects and qualities which are closer to the realm of art and musical expression; a perspective fundamentally different from, yet complementary to, modern quantitative and mechanistic perspectives.

On a deeper level, 'duration' demonstrates a characteristic of any language, in which the advances and limitations of understanding are bounded by the unique structure and assumptions of each. Each language represents a partial perspective, illuminating certain aspects while, at the same time, concealing and distorting others.

The subject/predicate structure of language conceptually collapses 'duration' into a sort of temporal ’ether’ within which time points/waves are measured/propagated.

'duration'

The individual process of seeking an enduring Hope and sense of greater meaning, within an experience of constant change and turbulence.

Turbulence - instability, disturbance, unpredictability, randomness, fluctuation, disorder, unrest, agitation.

An unending process of finding meaning and purpose in the joy, tragedy and random instabilities of life. The perpetual seeking of order, and of sustaining value in a rapidly changing world. 

The difficulty of creating a meaningful existence in a journey that frequently feels like that of a passenger in a vehicle with only an accelerator and no brakes or steering. Searching for an understanding of reactive cultural swings, between the extreme endpoints of oppressive, conservatism toward progressive anarchy and back again. Seeking out creative possibilities beyond an institutionalized apathy, ennui and a passive stasis of human potential. 

An enduring hope for a synergetic/collaborative paradigm of sustainable, evolving existence, in a modern world where (ephemeral; transient) value is assigned to short-term success, efficient compliance, disposability/planned obsolescence, and instant gratification. 

Change and flux are inevitable, yet Hope endures.

'Hope, In Turbulence'

Teaser track for large-scale composition, Virtutes Occultae. 

https://taylorbrook.bandcamp.com/releases

Virtutues Occultae is an album in eighteen sections for six physically modeled virtual pianos, each with a unique tuning in an extended 11-limit just intonation.

In writing this music I used a mixture of traditional composition methods of structuring the music with various harmonies and progressions along with more free writing, collage techniques, and algorithmic composition.

The tuning of the virtual pianos extends Harry Partch’s conception of the over-tonality.
