Waters Of The Ancient Vale

Overview

This piece was influenced by Kenny Wheeler, in particular his composition ‘Mark Time’ to which I allude in the title. It also features a 12/8 time signature reflecting that of “Mark Time”. It modulates every three bars in the Head, in reference to the ‘Modulating Modality’ in the title. The piece is in a Modal Free Jazz style. Influences include “Flamenco Sketches” by Miles Davis, and
“Peace Piece” both of which have frequent modulation.

Form and Structure

The piece is a long form, through composed 21 bar form with an intro of two bars. It transitions through a variety of modes and has seven sections, each of three bars, which all make use of a
different mode.

Intro - Chorus - Solos - Chorus Out

Harmonic Derivation

The piece transitions through the modes from Phrygian in a random order.

• Bars 1-3: G# Phrygian.
• Bars 4-6: C# Phrygian.
• Bars 7-9: A Aeolian.
• Bars 10-12: G# Phrygian.
• Bars 13-15: D Dorian
• Bars 16-18: E-flat Aeolian.
• Bars 19-21: C Lydian.

Phrase Structure

A(3-5), B(6-8), C(9-11), D(12-14), E(15-17), F(18-20), G(21-23).

Melodic Style

The melody is in the mid register and is characterised by step-wise motion with the odd intermittent leap. The Phrygian mode in G# from bars 3 - 5 and 12 - 14 and in the Intro allude to Flamenco music, a further reference to Miles Davis’ “Flamenco Sketches”. Scalic runs in the key of C Lydian are featured in the last three bars.
Finally, there is rhythmic repetition, for example the rhythm of bar 19 replicates that of bar 5 and also bar 11 replicates that of bar 23.

Notes on Recording

This downtempo electronic piece immediately envelops the listener in a vast, melancholic soundscape, establishing a meditative mood at 60 BPM. Weaving ambient and glitch elements with neoclassical touches, it subtly bridges synthetic textures and organic instrumentation. The foundational Am-C-G-Em chord progression, rooted in the Aeolian mode, generates a contemplative atmosphere, its minor tonality lending a poignant, unresolved quality. Ethereal vocals and melodic bells float above this harmonic bedrock, while a Boards of Canada-inspired synthesizer melody introduces a nostalgic, analog warmth, contrasting with the spacious production and delicate textures.

Urban field recordings – vocal fragments captured in a city tunnel – inject an element of concrete music. Their glitched artifacts create a fascinating dialogue between natural reverberance and digital manipulation, adding an experimental edge. This texture is grounded by the rhythmic interplay of syncopated session percussion and a steady kick/snare pattern, providing subtle forward momentum while preserving the track’s dreamlike essence. Echoes of Nils Frahm or early Brian Eno resonate, yet the piece maintains a distinct, restrained intensity. Best experienced in focused listening or introspective settings, standout moments include the delicate piano melody juxtaposed against the vast synth backdrop, culminating in a hypnotic exploration of urban dreamscapes where experimental sound design meets melodic structure.

Dreamyland

The fifth track on this series is about the good old minor scale, formally called the aeolian mode, which is the saddest of them all, but is it the"crying about the iminent divorce" type of sad? or "bombastic and devastating action movie" type of sad? both, I used both on this song :)

Aeolian

The sixth in this series of modal polkas. This one is in aeolian mode, an alternative minor, led by mandolin, with lots of other things..

Number thirteen selfheal polka

The breath-surge that opens the veil. The gushing forth of the unseen that stirs all things. 

The piercing axis, the veil of memory, the sharp fourth is wholeness through fracture.

Aeolyma

The sixth in this series, so in Aeolian mode. Lots of bouncy minorness, with various kitchen equipment joining the squeezeboxes

Gentle Breeze

Aeolian delineates a journey that I perceive as being borne upon imperceptible currents, much like the fragmented realities I assemble in my broader practice. This sound track commences with the roar of aerial departure and muffled transmissions, meticulously collaged to convey initial disorientation. I integrate sound bites from real events adding reality without imitating it. This track transitions to the rhythmic acoustics of oars hitting water, the visceral crackle of fire, and the pervasive howl of an ominous wind. This sound assemblage explores the inherent tension between static environmental sounds and fluid emotional states. In "Aeolian," I am examining resilience amidst uncertain epochs, reflecting the formidable, often invisible forces that shape individual trajectories, and revealing the unforeseen consonances discovered in traversing life's most challenging passages.

Portal of Dreams crafts introspective soundscapes where electronic and acoustic elements interweave naturally. Drawing from ambient, neoclassical, and experimental genres, we create sonic spaces for emotional healing and contemplative reflection.

Our music emerges from a shared belief in music's therapeutic power. Each composition is carefully architected to evolve like natural patterns, balancing synthetic and acoustic voices in a spacious mix where every element has room to breathe. From gentle piano melodies supported by ethereal synths to ambient textures that slowly unfold, we design each piece to guide listeners from states of melancholy toward hope and tranquility.

As artists who rediscovered music's creative call in adulthood, we understand its profound ability to accompany us through life's challenges. This perspective infuses our approach to production, where we prioritize nuance over loudness, focusing on detailed sound design and natural evolution over time.
