Absolute Magnitude

Written in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Vocals & cello - Keely Hodgson with sound production by Dan Willox.
Lyrics
In these hard times, 
when voices clamour to be heard, 
I wake each morning, 
longing for a gentle word;
A gift of kindness, gesture that I'm not alone, 
A voice of friendship to help me find my own. 

When this is over, let it be a rebirth, 
A new beginning for all that's good on earth, 
And may our hearts know 
what we are truly worth 
Oh may our hearts know 
what we are truly worth. 

So let's hold fast and when the time is right, 
We'll stand together,  holding back the night. 
So let's hold fast and when the time is right, 
We'll sing together, voices strong as light. 

When this is over, let it be a rebirth, 
A new beginning for all that's good on earth, 
And may our hearts know 
what we are truly worth 
Oh may our hearts know 
what we are truly worth. 

May we come through this dark time, 
May we all stay strong, 
May we return to sing in harmony, 
Our voices reunited, 
Singing hearts that beat as one,
Celebrating life and friendship, 
Joy and freedom, back where we belong,
Celebrating life and friendship, 
Joy and freedom, voices joined in song.

What Was I Made For - Billie COVER

* Patch performed live * No overdubs *

Integrating a pair of Mother-32 semi-modular synthesizers with her eurorack case, electronic musician Bana Haffar programs an evolving analog soundscape that contrasts heavyweight power against delicate precision, showcasing the broad emotional range that can be expressed using the simple yet well-chosen circuits of the Mother-32.  

The pair of Mother-32 eurorack compatible synthesizers generate the sonics for this piece with additional modulation and control opportunities made possible by each unit's 32-point patch bay, bridging the electronic connection to the external modules.  For this patch, a Make Noise Rene sequences the Mothers' analog voices while a 4ms QCD supplies the Master Clock signal.  External reverb and an MF-104M analog delay contribute depth and space to the patch.

George asked me for some music for a Scratch game he was making. This is what I made for him. It's designed to loop.

Samples from microphone and OP-1, all the rest is Digitakt.

Conceived while wondering why I can't stop eating the product of a particular pizza conglomerate.

The Devil's Work

First song I've written since I was about 20. I'm much older than that now. And really this was just a medium for playing about with Reason.
