another play with the Xaoc Zadar here.. this time it is basically acting like a sequencer doing all of the pitch and timbral modulation of the 4ms Ensemble oscillator. pretty neat.

excerpt of first five minutes, of ~twelve 

note | Amaru refers to the world serpent in Andean cosmology - rainbow-colored, two-headed, and dwelling beneath the earth. Associated with the emergence of underground water sources and transitions between worlds, Amaru is also related to the dark constellation serpent Mach’acuay whose seasonal appearance coincides with the warm rain season in the Andes and the appearance of terrestrial snakes.

'Amaru' joins a group of recent works that engage Andean & Irish cosmologies, my ancestry. With the distinct opportunity to write for the end of a program and next to a previous work, 'Talamh (land)', I wanted to explore a somewhat risky process: that of detuning an orchestra of strings. As 'Talamh' explores the topographies of Ireland through focused soundscapes, I wanted 'Amaru' to explore the loosening and tightening of ensemble, strings, conductor, and soloist through rich harmonies, wild harmonic gestures, and emergent, cyclic forms.

RUDE BUSTER (mimptoms REMIX)

In the Information Age data is an object that can be used to create multiple realities, each vying for dominance.  Some data points are ignored and some amplified, and in this way narratives are developed and reinforced.  Today’s #MusicalMinute alludes to a lot of these ideas but the results can sound confusing.  What do you think?
