Recorded, mixed & mastered 27 Nov 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

This piece is a section of a longer generative improvisation. Using a patch I created earlier in the evening on Arturia Prophet V3 in the VS mode, I started in Bitwig with a few sequenced notes, Nitwig’s own random elements, CodeFN42 RandArp & iZotope’s Neoverb. I chose a small section to replicate across four tracks in Ableton Live and committed some variation with Live’s native devices and some other iZotope plugins. 

This original version of "Ion Exchange & Found" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 569, Resplendent.
