Helsinki Downspout Crackles (disquiet0581)

I love the water drip sound of the original sample - I hear it as "tapati" and used it as is as the center of the piece. Just riffed on it on GarageBand. So, not a partita but a tapatita...

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Tin Foil Hat (disquiet0581)

In which I willfully misinterpret a field recording of a downspout in Helsinki (see below)as a percussion accompaniment, and write the melodies for it to accompany.

When I first heard the clip, I was surprised by how regular it was rhythmically -- it sounded like a drum playing swung eighths. I started getting ideas for melodic material that the drummer could be responding to.

The next thing I did was to transcribe the rhythm. I ended up interpreting it as a 12/8 -- I was initially anticipating having to carve up the bars differently at different times, but I found I didn't have to.

I decided to interpret the instruction "the provided music is the underlying rhythm" to mean that there shouldn't be a rhythmic event without the "drum" involved. (That is, e.g. if the "drum" is playing dotted quarters, nobody else is playing faster than that, and if the drum is playing eighth notes, someone is playing eighth notes with it.) So there are faster, more contrapuntal sections, and more chorale-like sections when less is going on rhythmically.

And then there are also just a couple of places that vary from the "groove", like the lone duple, which I had to deal with a little differently, and the sort of syncopated part near the end. I had the piccolo match the rhythm in the latter case with what I think is a quote from a folk song (but I don't know what the folk song is called, or how the rest of it goes).

I put the clip into Audacity and recorded all five parts (piccolo, three C flutes, and alto flute) over it. I realized that once they were all in there, it was no longer possible to hear some of the softer "notes" of the "drum", so I made that track a little louder.

Sextet for Five Flutes and Helsinki Downspout (disquiet0581)

Hypnotic raw techno inspired by Berlin warehouse nights.
* Owl
An owl with round, unblinking eyes glowing like lanterns in the dark, its feather patterns forming ripples of shadow and moonlight. Silent wings stretch wide, each movement smooth as flowing water. A hooked beak glints faintly, and its gaze feels ancient, as if it has watched the world turn for centuries.
