Downfall (instrumental)

This is the ambient version of Voice. The piece is created from a flute improvisation loaded in a QU-Bit nebulae buffer combined with a voice like electronic texture from the Moog Mother-32 and granular delay algorithm of the Erica Synth Pico DSP. The plucking sound is produced with the frequency modulation (FM) model of the Mutable Instruments Plaits module.

Lyrics:

Feels as good as it should
Swampy mud 
Feels so good in dark and lonely woods
Been in love and

Green turns to, white turns to, pink turns to
Black, day shrinks, day hollows 

Feels as good as it should
Fluffy gloves
Feels so good in wet and woeful woods
Been in love and
Feels as good as it should
Leafy lush 
Feels so good in deep and dead fall woods
Been in love and

Up from the ground
Cold as old bones
No one around
Night falls 
Circle around
Cottage of stone
Stumbled and found
Someone is home

Exotic cottage in the clearing
Night falling, disappearing
Yellow door. Go inside. What am I fearing?
Black cottage in the clearing
Night falling, disappearing
Yellow door. Go inside. What am I fearing?

Black cottage in the clearing
Night falling, disappearing
Yellow door. Go inside. What am I fearing?

Disappearing

This work for cello is derived from ideas associated with change ringing.

If one has, say, 6 bells, and one wishes to ring them in some sequence, then one has 720 possible sequences ("rows") to choose from.    Performing all the possible "rows" in some sequence constitutes an "extent" or "full peal."  A traditional desire consists of have every two consecutive "rows"  (or "change") in an "extent" differ only by swapping order of two consecutive bells.   So give any particular starting "row" of 6 bells, only 5 "rows" can legally complete the "change." 

That "extents," legal in this sense, even exist follows from non-trivial mathematical constructions, but these constructed extents tend to have a very mechanical character (and advantage for "method ringers").  

I (re?)discovered that one can make new extents from old by exchanging two consecutive segments AND time-reversing just one of them.  Call this a "twist."  "Twisting" one of the mechanical extents 2000 times (for an extent of 720 "rows") seems to produce reasonably random or organic "extents."   Philosophically these "twisted extents" lead double lives, being both highly structured and constrained, but given that, also as capricious as possible.

Four random "extents" govern this work.  Most simply, one "extent" controls the 6 dynamic levels in each row statement, one "extent" controls the 6 durations, and one "extent" controls the sequence within whatever the current collection of pitches.  

The final "extent" gets used go generate the pitch content.  Instead of ordering events, the permutations get used to order  the intervals 2/1, 3/2, 4/3,  5/4, 6/5 and 7/6, thus building up a scale (or perhaps a chord, depending on how you care to think about it).  So unlike actual bells that each carry a fixed pitch and collectively establish a fixed key, here each "row" of the 720 has its own "key."  Thus the music constantly modulates, and since each "change" modestly changes just one note in the scale (because consecutive intervals swap), the music manifests an emergent sort of voice leading, albeit a very distant relative from the voice leading of common practice music.

Pataphysical Gravitation Wave Sonification Live by TRAMPELFÂD

As Above, So Below

What remains to be done?  
After drifting worlds depart  
Quiet whispers in our hearts,  
Like the secrets lost in the dark

I remember better days  
Shadows linger close behind  
My reflection isn’t the same  
Just an echo caught in time

As above, so below  
In separation we are whole  
Every gift we have to share  
Points to earth, points to air

What remains to be done?  
In this place under stars  
The dreams we’ve held, sleep we’ve known  
A quiet death before the dawn

As above, so below  
We reflect the worlds we know  
Hidden in the patterns found  
Falling softly on the ground

As Above So Below
