Cinematic Minimalist Outdoor Modular 'The Accretion Redemption' Australian Wilderness feat: Moskwa
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Accretion - growth or increase by the gradual accumulation of additional layers or matter - a thing formed or added by gradual growth or increase.
Redemption - the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil - the action of regaining or gaining possession of something
Artisitically I wanted some long ebb and flows to happen, quiet reflective parts leading to big epic orchestral sounding with fast building sequences. There are definitely old school minimalist influences in this work, Riley, Glass, Reich etc: but I also wanted something pastoral and even English sounding - those with good ears might note the Cosmos Quencer do variants of Nimrod from Enigma. But this is more about growth and builds, controlled and powerful enough to cast out negativity or sins, hence the church bell sounds and deeper evil 'pluck' battles, with the sequencers and heavenly choral chords rising above it all.
A location only about 20 minutes from home and relatively easy to get this setup to. I was intentional about doing a long form epic textural piece full of undulating sequences and background choral, plus gongs and big plucks, so here it is. In two parts as I actually did a version the afternoon prior, but had forgotten to properly patch the 'ProbMelod' chords to the PolyCinematic, so it wasn't producing the chordal changes as expected! So what you are seeing will be early afternoon on Tuesday 14 May as Part One and late afternoon on Monday 13 May as Part Two.
There are patch notes embedded at the start of each section with the most detailed ones at the start of Pt2. The main manual components are me changing the notes on both Moskwa and Cosmos Quencer, or configs of those (parameters, random etc) along with the tones of various other sources, such as the wavefolding on PonyVCO or triggering the Surface but of course the main real time task is just controlling the balance of effectively 12 channels of sound (even the stereo pairs of PolyCinematic, Disting and Surface I am fiddling with the balance).
0:00 Part One

@@GaryHayes 😀
Thanks for sharing this world with us 🎶☮
My Pleasure Mr Frog916!
@@GaryHayes The Screaming Frog 916 for you!
After 45 years of listening to electronic music there are only three channels on YT I can watch and listen to.
This is Guilherme da Luz from Portugal, “Hardcore Ambience” from Japan and your channel, Gary!
Thank you so much for another outstanding composition.
Wow appreciate that Diderich! Now must check out those others :)
Wow… beautiful location and nicely played! May the oscillator be with you 😀
and with you MM! cheers
Awesome Gary. Lots going on in this. Don’t know how you keep track of all that’s going on, from the choral parts to the sequencers. Heady stuff my man. Then with all the drone images, totally mind blowing.
Hey Phil - cheers for that. I think the joy of patching your own 'channels' of sound is that you have created the paths, so certainly makes it easier? Hope you are enjoying your development!
@@GaryHayes Yes, enjoying my gear very much. Finding the more I know about each module the more I get out of the soundscape.
Sounds good 👍 I like the many changes. Good work Gary! Have a good day
Thanks for listening Jim - subtle changes for some, glad you spotted them!
God we live in a gorgeous part of the world Gary!!! Nice evocative piece with the added bonus of your drone flying. Strange majestic & beautiful music accompanying stunning nature. Opposites attract here. Well done from someone down in the basin but still in the Hills :) Our ancient land.
Very kind GG, yes always a treat and honour to try to represent nature and this ancient land ... flatlanders are not all bad :)
