THE BODY

SEI ZU RES - Fugue State

Three musical episodes, one journey.

Tech notes: Hermod Plus (utilizing TRS MIDI) - utilizing its generator to create random modulations on a clicky groove to start this intro.

The middle episode grew as I experimented with Hermod's TRS MIDI connectivity, reactivated my ancient Korg Trinity for some atmospheric polyphony, and eventually adding a pattern of sevens to taking the vignette out to the meditative coda. 

Here the inbuilt chord function of the RYK Vector Wave provides the basic drone passed thru a bandpass filter so it appears to fade into the distance and return to the fore. Parts of the drone are simultaneously piped thru a Sarajewo delay by periodic gates as I manually swish the frequency to get that unique echoing sound.

Triptych

I totally LOVE this sign on a stairwell at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire, UK, so I've enjoyed making it into a track! 😜 It looks to me like the figure is tap dancing down the stairs, so I've tried to capture that a little. Also, the stairs suggest a walking bass, but, as they are clearly falling or tripping, it (obviously) needed to be a little less step-wise! 😁
