Electronic track. No samples. No loops. All sounds made by my synthz, mostly by themselves. Some random, some stochastic, some generative ideas. 98% perspiration. 2% (or less) inspiration.

DOVE

I composed Dante-Reset during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the spring of 2021. I selected some verses from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, to celebrate the  700 anniversary of his death. The Italian violinist Emy Bernecoli performed the vocals. All the samples then are generated from the electronic elaboration of her voice. 
	The composition was born out of the disillusion that a new and better society would be born.
	The painting used in the cover is ESPLOSIONE, oil on canvas, by Emidio Bernecoli (https://www.emidiobernecoli.it)

Dante-Reset nasce nella primavera del 2021, mentre l’epidemia di COVID-19 devastava il mondo e l’Italia. Ho utilizzato alcuni versi tratti dalla Divina Commedia di Dante Alighieri, in occasione delle celebrazioni del 700 anno dalla sua morte. La violinista italiana Emy Bernecoli ha recitato i versi, tutti i suoni si basano sull’elaborazione elettronica dei campioni vocali.
	Il pezzo nasce dalla disillusione sulla nascita di una nuova e migliore società.

Dante-Reset

DANTE-RESET

I composed Ghosts and Lizards using a “found sound” in my sample library, which I recorded randomly a few years ago. It is a sort of a techno track, in which, towards the end, I develop a stochastic rhythm of percussions. After working on the piece, I found some of the music scary, and thought of the things that could possibly scare me the most (idiosyncrasy), or scare the less… at the end is the same.


Ho composto Ghosts and Lizards basandomi su un vecchio campione, una sorta di suono ritrovato, che avevo registrato alcuni anni fa. È una traccia techno, verso la fine sviluppo dei ritmi stocastici nelle percussioni. Fantasmi e lucertole che possono spaventare… o possono attrarre: alcune idiosincrasie in un titolo che ha un significato particolare.

Ghosts and Lizards by Elijax

I composed the first version of Supercollider in the winter of 2014, in one night. I remember I used in an unconventional mode the distortion (well abused) and the limiter... instead of using faders I automated a limiter on the single tracks. The track was then sitting on my hard drive, waiting to be polished. This autumn I decided to re-record and re-program all the synths, trying to retain the aggressive unpolished sound I had in the first version. I hope you will enjoy!

Ho composto la prima versione di Supercollider nell’inverno del 2014, in una notte. Ricordo di aver usato in maniera non convenzionale distorsori (meglio dire: abusato...) e i limitatori, questi ultimi utilizzati al posto dei volumi del mixer. La traccia è poi rimasta nel mio disco fisso per alcuni anni, in attesa di essere rifinita. Durante questo ultimo autunno ho deciso di registrarla da capo, cercando di mantenere l’aggressività della prima versione. Spero vi piacerà.
