a lovely, perfect kind of desperation about it!

siq stuff, languid, trippy, glitchy....even melodic moments

Amithāba is the principal Budhha in Pure Land Buddhism, who is known as Amitāyus. Amithāba means “Infinite Light” or “Infinite Life” in Sanskrit.

The structure of Amithāba is based on a textile weave, where each voice has its own repetition. Throughout the piece, the change of each repetition depends on theimprovisation of singers who can use the “techniques” of the oldest singing style known as Drupha Darbar, which uses sounds and syllables rather than words. I am using the scale of Indian Sāranga raga, which expresses no pathos, but only tenderness. 

Over the course of the work, the role of the interweaving-repetitive patterns is to create the sound of the abstract, which goes beyond boundaries and is limitless.

The work was commissioned by the Melos - New Vocal Music Collective and premiered by the Melos - New Vocal Music Collective (Justina Leinartaitė, Karolina Macytė, Gabrielė Bilevičiūtė, Gabija Adamonytė, Karolina Ramonė, Ūla Marija Barbora Zemeckytė, Augustė Andrijauskaitė, Evita Rudžionytė ir Juta Pranulytė) and the Cello Club (Povilas Jacunskas, Domas Jakštas, Arnas Kmieliauskas, Evaldas Petkus ir Rokas Vaitkevičius) in 2022.

Lovely prompt this one, thanks Marc @disquiet! This is my response for disquiet0619.

I went for a bit of a beat workout, selecting sounds and building up an odd time groove on the Machinedrum, before further tweaking in the DAW ensued, pushing things around, adding chords and bass tracks and whatnot, until this speedy odd time tune felt like it built up nicely, had a good flow and was going somewhere. Heaps of fun!!

Enjoy!
