Marco Lucchi: mellotron
Paul Sturm: audio editing, manipulation & processing

Notes: I pitch-shifted and layered Marco’s original stereo mellotron track, pitch-shifting up a fifth and down a fifth in increments of 21.875 cents (32 microtones to the fifth).  The piece begins with all 65 “pitch-levels” heard together (sounding similar to pink noise) and then I remove tracks one by one, manipulating the volume of individual tracks in order to emphasize different pitches and pitch combinations, all while gradually “devolving” into the original 2 tracks.

Paul Sturm + Marco Lucchi - Third Tide [7.57]

This, my Fifth String Quartet, continues my exploration into writing music of a more contrapuntal nature.

This work is about 24 minutes in length and I very much appreciate you taking the time to listen, and hopefully enjoy it. It has been very difficult to compose, and at this point I can’t take it any further, as additional changes only seem to weaken both the piece and myself:)

Its best listened to with headphones, though I did attempt to make it work decently computer speakers. 

Thank you again!

"Nel secondo modello, che è quello di Eriugena, il paradiso - cioè la natura umana - è affatto estraneo al peccato e la storia della caduta narrata nella ‘Genesi’ deve intendersi avvenuta fuori di esso. Non vi è propriamente una storia della salvezza, perché la natura umana è già sempre salva. Il paradiso - la vita in tutte le sue forme - non è mai stato perduto: è sempre al suo posto e permane come modello intatto del bene anche nel continuo abuso che l’uomo ne fa, senza riuscire in alcun modo a corromperlo. Il paradiso celeste, che non si distingue da quello terrestre, in cui l’uomo non è ancora penetrato, coincide con la natura originaria, che, intatta e indelibata, attende fin dall’inizio dei tempi tutta l’umanità."

And the corridor seems to stretch
As far as the eye can see
