Sending chords from Ableton racks through a TC Electronic D-Two delay.  Have been quite enjoying it's very digital and crystalline qualities.

I was listening through the tracks and hit "The Lonely Pelican Has a Friend" and it absolutely wowed me with its gorgeousness combined with just a bit of glitchyness. The delay on the guitar made me think about setting up a Frippertronics-like loop and playing that over top.

I loaded the original track into AUM's file player on the iPad, fired up the iOdyssey app, and found a suitable fluty/chirpy patch; I've been itching to try it out more, and this seemed like just the right thing for it.

I added the K7D audio effects unit to give me a panning looper for the Odyssey, and recorded two takes of the original plus the Odyssey. Neither of which was quite what I wanted -- just a little thin...so I decided, why not try both? 

I loaded both takes and the original track into AUM, and played it all back in sync to record the final track. This slightly emphasized the grittiness in spots, but I decided that I liked the effect...partly because it is interesting, and partly because getting two more isolated takes was more time than I had to spend.

This was definitely couch (actually bed) synthesis; I did the whole performance, recording,  and mixing on the iPad. I only needed to move the final track to the Mac to MP3 encode and add the track metadata before uploading.

Downloaded the final track, as noted, and tagged the file with Fission, generating a quick bit of art with ML.

Ta noc je moja/Kreativo(covered by Avant)

Maeshowe for sextet and sine tones. Concert recording from the premier in Helsingborg, Sweden, April 2018.

With many thanks to the Riot Ensemble for their help in realising this project: Ausiàs Garrigos (clarinet), Andy Connington (trombone), David Royo (percussion), Fontane Liang (harp), Neil Georgeson (piano), Louise McMonagle (cello) and Aaron Holloway-Nahum (conductor).

The piece is based on the resonant frequencies of Maeshowe, an ancient burial chamber on the Scottish island of Orkney. The frequencies were extracted from the acoustic impulse response and converted from Hz to 12tone equally tempered pitches with cent deviations. The frequencies are played exactly as sine tones and approximated by the instruments in various ways.
