about

It was decided that this piece should juxtapose both analogue and digital elements. A random number generator was used to choose two tones from A to G#. The base note was rolled to be a C [3], which was played on a piano, the attack removed, and the tail looped. Sound Forge's FM synthesis was used to create the second note, which was an Eb [6].

The beat is comprised of unconventional pan hits. Three sounds were used. The first was placed alongside the C piano tone and coincided with the trough of each loop. The second was placed at equal intervals along the pulse of the second digital tone, but at a different time signature to the first. Everything was played together, and a third, digital 'beep' accented the resulting beat. Simple tap delays were added to the second and third beats.

about

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.
