Howls of Ancestors Past

The body wants to speak, but the brain continues to shout. A spell to quiet the brain.

Here are some simple overlapping synth pads coded in ChucK with a breathing rhythm. The spread between the notes is modified by an LFO and I tuned the frequency and gain to produce a gentle wash. The basic code produces 64 beats of pad washes and I modified the envelope, filter and pitch live to produce this piece. 

code is here: https://github.com/charliekramer/ChucK/blob/master/Pad%20string%20class%20disquiet0384.ck
