about

Step 1: Roll a die six times (or six dice once), add up the combined results, and then subtract five from it. Make note of the resulting number. If you don’t have access to a die, you can use various digital equivalents.

[The number rolled was two.]

Step 2: Visit this Twitter account:

twitter.com/textinstagram

Step 3: Count the tweets of that account backwards from the most recent tweet at the time of your visit until you reach the tweet that coincides with the resulting number from step 1 above. Make note of this tweet, unless it begins with an @ sign. If the tweet begins with an @ sign, then use the next tweet (continuing down in reverse chronological order). If the next tweet also begins with an @ sign, then continue until coming to a tweet that doesn't begin with an @ sign. This final tweet will serve as the title of the track you will soon begin composing and recording.

[The title is 'pitch black'.]

Step 4: Now, roll a die twice (or two dice once), add up the combined results, and then subtract one from it. Make note of the resulting number.

Step 5: Visit this web page and locate the list of Instagram filters:

goo.gl/MWPb0

Step 6: Count down the list of filters on that page until you come to the filter that coincides with the resulting number from step 4 above.

[The number rolled was five.]

Step 7: Close your eyes and imagine a simple photograph that would be described with the tweet that is the title of your track, and that would have been treated with the filter that resulted from the step 6.

Step 8: Now imagine that the image from step 7 is the cover of your next single. Record a track of original ambient music that would be this single. It should be between one and two minutes in length, true to the postcard-like quality of Instagram — and, by extension, Textinstagram.

A photograph was taken in Instagram with the correct filter. It was then converted to audio and manipulated until it resembled an ambient soundscape.

Katarrhaktes London

Katarrhaktes explores the unexplained, the boundaries of truth, the meaning of a linear perceptive existence, and other discourses via conceptual pieces of music which range from destructive, anarchistic dirges to structured, beautiful ambience.
