Spirits and Spectra takes inspiration from the chaconne, a musical form organized around a series of repeating chords. Five timbres/harmonies unfold, settling in time into a looping pattern fashioned from permutations of the series 3-5-1-4-2. Aleatoric processes coded in Open Music complement the number sequence by providing continuous variation in frequency density, waveform, amplitude, spatialization, and delay. Further contrast is heard in deviating sections rooted in interpolations between the chords of the chaconne. Spirits and Spectra is dedicated with gratitude to the Csound and Open Music communities.
