Alexander Khubeev - The whisper of phoenix (Elizaveta Koshkina) [2010]

sulle corde

Depicted is a picture of a picture of the RCA MKii synthesizer at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center from an exhibit "Sounding Circuits: Audible Histories" shown at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. These were early days in the history of electronic music. "Summer Breeze" tries to capture some of that innocence (some folks may even hear a little Laurie Spiegel in this) before it all turned into a mad rave.
This is a case study on the virtues of very light modulation - the piece is based on the sound of Plait's chord mode, with the morph feature lightly set in motion by a 1.6 volt waveform from a Zadar envelope generator which scans a  wavetable very subtly

a fragrant breeze
is blowing from China

Soundtrack for a Videogame
This is a piece for a video game. The setting is an exotic, oriental imaginary world, so the music is full of oriental musical stereotypes, although it does not have a real correspondence with the authentic and beautiful oriental or Middle Eastern musical tradition.

Two Voices On The Wild Side (naviarhaiku347)

In search of an alternative earth, site one is too cold. Site two is radioactive and home to strange beings with advanced starcraft that have the ability to shut down the ship engines. Finally a new home capable of supporting human life is found... in the goldilocks zone.

Goldilocks Zone - A Space Adventure (disquiet0461)

Disquiet Junto Project 0461 - Goldilocks Zone: Navigate a sonic space between the hospitable and the inhospitable.

Follow me on Bandcamp: https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/

Gliese 1061 is supposed to have 3 planets a, b and c, orbiting around he star itself, partly in the circumstellar habitable zone. The track uses mainly three sounds, which try to meander beetween habitable and inhabitable, more in terms of rhythm then of noise and dissonance. It maybe could have been more inhabitable, but for me it really feels perfectly inconvenient. ;-)
