Name: Lullaby by Pirate7
Duration: 4 min 10 s
Description: First song written by Reverentia, soon to be recorded properly.

Shouting is from the video edit, not final original.

Released 14/6/2024

Shower holder backstory: I found a shower holder in my dad's garden 3 years ago. The shower holder's sound is inharmonic, so I've found it interesting to make music exclusively with it. The creative limitation has unlocked lots of ideas I'd not heard before, it's been so exciting to think about the cultural baggage of musical instruments! In April 2024 the shower holder had its live debut, after being selected from an open call to play at Niche (a wonderful experimental event in London). 

Track recording process: For this song, each layer was recorded at a different speed, then each was slowed down, so that the separate layers are at different pitches. For the lowest bass note, the entire song was recorded in 6 seconds, then slowed down to fill the full 2 minutes 49 seconds! When all assembled together, the notes create a melody. The slowing down also allows us to hear partials from above the audible frequency range. Then there's some freehand microtonal pitchshifting on top.
