Very neat orchestration.  Is all of this ME80?

great track ! , emotional and powerful . the ME80 sounds fantastic :)

"... Pigs like being with other pigs. They like to socialize, to hang out, to eat together (if you watch pigs eating together for long enough, it becomes apparent that they “break bread” together; they don’t just eat near and amongst each other), and they like to snuggle when napping and sleeping (a sleeping pig is nearly always in physical contact with another pig; if it is not, it is likely ill or injured). Their social bonds run deep, perhaps not as deep in a conscious way, at least not as obviously so, as elephants, cetaceans, or the great apes, but deep nonetheless. When those bonds are broken, a pig suffers a tremendous amount of psychological stress, most often expressed in repeated deep, long, doleful groans, and when the circumstances are right, pigs express that psychological suffering (stress is an inadequate term) of broken bonds by totally and completely flipping out. They run back and forth squealing. They run aimlessly, in circles, screaming. They will jump fences, or they will plow right through them. When confined in a tight space, they will smash themselves against walls and gates, repeatedly. They will spastically chew on metal bars. They will try to climb whatever can be climbed. They will jam their snouts under the bottom rung of a gate over and over again and strain and struggle to lift it off of its hinges. They will smash themselves against the walls and gates again, repeatedly. ..."

Exozoologica
Pete Kellock

Acousmatic work for rainforest birds, cicadas, Chinese flutes, Ukrainian violin, Convolvotrix, and a tiny fragment of Stravinsky.

PLEASE LISTEN ON HEADPHONES, HI-FI OR OTHER DECENT SOUND SYSTEM. The piece has a wide dynamic and frequency range; on typical PC speakers you won't even hear half of it.

PROGRAM NOTE
Exozoologica [noun]: animal life of another planet.

I don’t usually experience music in terms of images and this isn't “program music”. But as I wrote the piece, parts of it carried me to a specific place: an eerie rainforest on some other planet, its soundworld a sort of Darwinian orchestra where survival and musical sonority are tightly intertwined... alien birdcalls, tritone howls, cicadas shimmering in E minor, mutant drums, the sudden metallic hiss of some nightmarish predator...

The work was motivated by a slightly deranged challenge that had bugged me for decades: try to create a piece with the expressiveness, subtlety, drama and structural integrity of a major symphonic work, but do it using a sonic language like nothing I’ve heard before.

Did I succeed? Let me know what you think: petekellock@gmail.com.

A central principle is that most of the sounds derive from two sources - a recording of jungle life plus a Chinese flute phrase say, or fragments of drum loops and a folk violin - crossbred using techniques such as convolution and vocoding. The convolution creates a highly reverberant ambience (akin to the acoustic of big-tree forests) which permeates the work.

Structurally the piece is held together by a process of continuous development: motifs appear, interlock, mutate, compete and perhaps eventually reach some kind of peace (or at least accommodation) with each other. In this work, these feel like survival strategies.
