Description:
This composition is inspired from a FaceBook group "Mathematical Tiling and Tessellation" (Ref. [1]), on a tiling pattern inspired from  Pythagoras' 3,4,5 triangle.  Ref. [1]'s posting date corresponded to the squares of the 3,4,5 triangle, 16-Sep-25, whereas I made a musical interpretation of this. I have seen this countless times, the "3 4 5 Triangle" (triangle who's sides have the integer lengths of 3, 4 and 5 units where the 3 and 4 sides are 90 degrees to each other) since learning algebra in high-school, but today was the day to be inspired to use this as the basis of delay times. There is another clue to this puzzle, Just Intonation, where the ratios between frequencies are made up from integer numerators and denominators and importantly, when these integers are small, the frequency pairs produced typically make for pleasing sounds. Now back to the inspiration. I made a few back of the envelope notes on time delay chains (how a delay+feedback networks connect to each other). Then when I came home, turned on my NOF_PulDelFilt digital synthesiser and started to experiment.

The Three Four Five album of three pieces, all take inspiration from this central idea, using the numbers from the 3,4,5 triangle for delay times and as starting points for tuning frequency ratios. The first piece is the Prelude, lasting 01 minute 14 seconds. The second piece is the Development, lasting 5 minutes 43 seconds; and the final piece is the Rest, lasting 1 minutes 31 seconds.

The PulDeFilt synthesiser also includes a multi-track audio recorder which can accept external audio signals in addition to the sound it makes. Here the external audio came from the Soma Enner (hardware synthesiser) feed into the Soma COSMOS (hardware memory station). The Soma Enner has no discrete tuning, rather frequency dials, these were adjusted live during the performance in response to the PulDeFilt synthesiser themes.

Thank you Ed Pegg for your posting of the three four five triangle tiling pattern, to inspire me to use it in a musical way. Also a big thanks to Vlad Kreimer of Soma Laboratory for bringing the Soma Enner to the music community, a truly organic human machine musical interface.

Handstitched* update: pre-orders are now available for the new Oberlin album, "Übersee".

https://handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/bersee

Oberlin and Handstitched* meet again for another stunning release. After the first release "Lent" was released in early 2019, Oberlin is back with "Übersee" - a full-length odyssey, balancing smack-dab on the edge of darkness and shimmering clarity.

"Übersee" is an old german term for the lands across the sea - an imagined journey to unfrequented places, the title existed months before the recent travel-restrictions, nevertheless it still resonates in the nostalgic term somehow, too.

"Übersee" comes in a limited-edition gatefold book cover with unique mini collages created by Handstitched* and Spirograph artworks in four individual designs by Carolyn Sleith, 35mm film negatives are applied to the insert strip with hand-stamped CD's and each edition comes hand-numbered.

Artwork, collages, design and packaging by Handstitched*
Individual Spirograph designs hand-drawn by Carolyn Sleith.
Limited to 40, hand-numbered copies.

All music written and recorded by Oberlin with a Eurorack Modular system and electric guitar in 2018 at Oberlin's Studio 4 in Koblenz, Germany.

🌋Cycling in Minami Aso🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
The Aso caldera is one of the largest volcanic features of its kind, measuring 25 km north to south, 18 km east to west, and 128 km in circumference. It stands in Aso Kujū National Park in Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. Its peak is 1,592 metres above sea level. The valley is a global rarity home to fertile land, human communities, and even a railway. Join us on a virtual ride as we cycle Minami Aso Village and take in its nature and culture.
