Work in progress. I'm slowly progressing on my new album. This track started with an intense drone and bass-part, but so many verions later I think all of the original stems are left out, and replaced by these slightly distorted reverb guitar parts. Still some work to do on this one, but I like where it is going! 

Whereabouts

An electronic composition, sounds from various sources.

And another historian I've lost and cannot find!

Music is a great leveller. No one cares who you are. Music doesn't care who you are. Music is an antidote to this social media driven, post truth bullshit.  Self-evident truth cannot die. You'll find me strapped to that mast.

Movement 14

While the far-flung Asarian homeworld is the first inhabited system that we've discovered, this is not our first time encountering the intelligent cloud beings of Asar. We've learned that Asarian explorers visited our earth thousands of years ago, touching down somewhere in the Nile river valley. When the gas giants finally departed, the Pharaoh whose hospitality they had enjoyed bestowed two gifts on her alien visitors. The first was a scroll with plans they could use to build their own pyramids back home. But the most remarkable gift was a papyrus describing a peculiar set of frequencies that, when resonated in certain sequences, could reveal spiritual and mathematical truths. We believe the audio captured by our surface drone may be a sacred performance of this ancient harmonic "spell".

This one was a lot of fun to put together! It gave me a great excuse to experiment with microtonal composition, and learn how to configure custom tunings in Logic. I chose the Maqam scale, a traditional scale in Arabic music believed to have originated in ancient Egypt. The scale consists of two "half-flats": in this case, A, B half-flat, C, D, E half-flat, F, G, and A. The main melodic line is typical for the scale, arcing from root to  octave and then descending again. The percussion was inspired by reading about Wahda w-Nuss rhythms.

A song for my wife- glimpses of our story, from Hull (the town where we met) to the back of the moon (and back). 
With the recording, I tried to answer the most important and useful question in music "What would Paul McCartney do?"
