Name: Electric Whirlwind by silo portem
Duration: 6 min 34 s
Description: Here's another deep and dark cut from the first session of the year, recorded on 2nd January 2021, and using some wonderful piano soundscapes kindly provided by @anmoku. We also added some great industrial/glitchy drum loops from @fl-souto, while Gillie flew in some horrible guitars Si had recorded earlier to complete the unpleasantness.

excellent sound manipulations.. dynamic shifts : )

I never thought this loop would get used one day. amazing!

A fictitious competition where 99 of the 100 competitors in a squiggling competition perish. Somewhat inspired by the Dancing Plague of 1518 and Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery".

The original version had more vocals, but a decent portion of them were scrapped for the reupload.

Program Note
Tagundnachtgleiche (Equinox) was created on the occasion of a composition competition for brass quintets announced by the publishing house Furore Verlag in 2017.
At the beginning of 2023, I decided to record the piece in a recording studio and to make it available to the public. The trumpeter Bernhard Plagg was kind enough to take on the project. He put together a brass quintet, organised rehearsal dates, etc.
The composition consists of two elements that alternate or interpenetrate each other. On the one hand, composed, notated music, harmonic and rhythmic in the broadest sense. And on the other, improvised music, mainly consisting of differentiated, nuanced noises and representing a kind of random music, like random sounds in nature.
