about

Early June, 2020 Ben Ponton invited me to supply music and sounds for a project by the Black Glass Ensemble.
I recorded the B, D and F# notes with an e-bowed guitar. Six files, each note twice. One was one octave higher than the other. I then slowed down the speed of the higher octave to 0.25 and the lower one to 0.5 so that in fact they are of the same pitch but with different snare characteristics. Next I recorded the same notes with a modular resonator in order to enrich the harmonics of the guitar. In my final mix the resonator sounds slowly build over the guitar. You can hear that best if you just play the mix files on top of each other.

Traack 2 = a work in progress. Made public on Jun 5, 2020 and only available in this form this day!
