… snippets from a SuperCollider algorave album I finished last year, release delayed due to unavoidable etc but I couldn't resist a teaser just now…

The attempt to stretch the concept of irama by exploring the liminality between pulse and noise is at the heart of this piece. This idea, coming from Central Javanese gamelan, organizes the temporal density within a piece; starting from irama lancar with one saron panerus beats per balungan notes, to irama rangkep with sixteen saron panerus beats per balungan notes. Hyperkembangan is based on a central question: what would the sound of an extremely high level of irama be, where the balungan notes is imperceivably sparse, while the elaboration is extremely dense? This hypothetical situation leads me to conceptualize a piece based on a progression from pulse, to complex sound (represented by spectral harmonies), to noise—noise here functions as a representation of an overload in the elaborative part. The piece is played with two gendèrs with pair tuning consists of customized 14-notes system that could accommodate spectral harmonies (based on the spectra of note 1 in gendèr struck with hard mallet) and its various manipulations. The "X" in the title—as well as a reference to Boulez's "Polyphonie X"—suggests a kind of cultural defacing, where new content is imposed on the cultural memory of the music, yet still maintains parts of those memories; a form of a musical palimpsest.

along with a Behringer Poly D, Absynth, Massive and Kontakt, recording in Cubase.

What The Tide Brings

The Assignment: Make music in 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.

I used my Elektron Model:Cycles for this because it’s really flexible with meter. This is based on an arpeggio alternating between 6 and 7, a chime in 6 (at half speed) a bassline in 5, and some percussion in 7. I had no time, so I made it in a rush, and I think it turned out all the better for not thinking about it too hard!

Recorded for disquiet0368 using https://soundcloud.com/bearp-aw/the-11th-hour-disquiet0367?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0367

I added some percussion sounds using a digitakt (bpm: 60.5) and a further drone-y sound using a cooking video from youtube and paulstretch. 

My contribution is panned 100% to the right.
