(mostly) finished

redo of "contrail" with the original as a part of the work.
i really really like the way the music box came out...

update2: 9/5/11: remixed to redo levels so the music box doesn't hurt my ears

recursive contrail

letting chaos run the show after giving it a little structure...

the main source of harmonic movement here is iteration/sequencing over chords based at G#m.  the soft sections are random selections of such and the hard sections are faster iterations over i->VI in order.

i worked a little on giving nice dynamic breaks at transition between sections (first attempt at such, both sections and working on transitions, gasp)

there's a music box (pair) running randomly over elements of the G#m key throughout.

and on top of all the aforementioned structure we're getting some random off-key behavior to help provide some tension.

beat behavior is pretty straightforward.  there's bamboo beat action going on plus a high-hat type element.  the bamboo action is glitched (as well as some parts of the music box) and the high hat type is randomly perturbed to drop out or mis-hit for rhythmic color.

Mournful organs... love 'em.

I hope the levels come out ok on this.  I've heard it so many times now i'm not sure :)

mechanical resignation

this started out as an exercise in minimalism.  it got out of hand...

i sweated the final mix much more than usual... it'll probably be worse :P
