@mike-leghorn: I appreciate you specific responses, thanks!

A feeling of tension distinguished from what is called traditional contemporary music. Your music feeling is just visual Art ,great work... !!


this is great. the incoming and outcoming 'harsh' sounds r delicate. the background remains background yet still separeted. a lot of sounds but they are played well together. great piece.

@feedinggoats: thank your very much for listening and for commenting, on behalf of Megan and myself!

I simply love your raw organic approach to music, its so full of life and variations, so one may approach the composition in many ways, I like that. Excuse my late respons Wilhelm but I have been in the forest building trehouse and harvested many fieldrecordings.  I post my new creation to you, its more a scetch and very playful but it has taken me some places.  love & light from per

@kdb-1: b-1: Thanks Rotorro for listening and for commenting on behalf of Megan an myself. Yes, this was an experiment to play in parallel with the cicadas, solo, chorus, blending, separating, returning....

while trying to sort out the archive I came across this recording from 27 May '22.
Unfortunately it is an unrecoverable project... the program it was created with (Ableton) crashes every time you try to open the project.
I don't remember anything about it, what equipment was used for the recording... 
the only thing that remains is this file, very interesting in my opinion.
it's pretty much as recorded except for a small reduction in volume and the duration changed by about a minute less..
the only attempt to try to recover it is to look in the archive for the days immediately before or after the creation to try to understand what I was working on in that period..

Remastered and reuploaded. From the 2017 EP, "The Mongol Princess"

The EP is now free/pay what you want on Bandcamp-
moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/the-mongol-princess

The Mongol Princess is a conceptual EP/soundtrack by Mood Exhibit. It tells a story of a young, beautiful, and kind princess that died tragically by disease at an early age. She spread love and hope throughout the land during the precious time she lived in her role. This audio tale of her life covers all emotions: joy, passion, pain, mourning, and remembrance.
This 4th release from Mood Exhibit is the most focused in theme and approach. No "electronic" sounds where used in this EP. All instruments including percussion within tracks were performed on keyboard using high quality sampled Asian sounds, with the accompaniment of traditional Mongol vocal recordings.

*this upload has the new image that differs from the original EP/track, and better represents how I interpret the Mongol Princess today

Mood Exhibit - Death of a Mongol Princess

They sang not with voices, but with the memory of shape.
Beneath the shattered pane, echoes gathered
fragments of forgotten rites,
lit by the flicker of a candle that never cast heat.
Each note a reflection,
each silence a scream caught in glass.
An homage to the room that remembers you,
long after you've past.

These are two studies realized in Csound in 1995 and revised in 2025. The first is a study on the timbral variations resulting from the interference of sounds with closely related frequencies; the second is a study on noise and the manipulation of sound through filters, delay, and feedback.

I share music that I have made here solo or in groups. I am bundling my work with some online friends as a project oriented, micro-collective. We are happy to share with you!
