Kinds of Flowers.
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I wanted to share with you a recording I did on July 4, 2007 in Somerville MA. I’m sharing it now because, to be honest, unless I’m recording these things for a specific purpose I often forget to put them in my listening rotation.
I quite like this, though, despite its being a bit formless and definitely still at the level of the sketch. The percussion is an early, flexible version of the macro-detune object I’m working on…I like its presence in the song, and I find it to be a more human, lovely timekeeper than the mallets: it’s time on the scale of breaths rather than seconds.
I made it in a Max performance environment I’m making called “the woods”. You can find screenshots on my flickr set.
