Bundles of Superstition

Bundles of Superstition

February 26, 2017 Leave a Comment

Bundles of Superstition began as a spectral experiment. A short musique concrète work that was carefully assembled to explore the general properties of Isomer’s model analysis over a wide range of sonic sources.

To help foster a familiar musical setting, I separated the resulting material into a small group of foreground instruments (harpsichord and a few solo woodwinds) and accompaniment (concrète samples). I selected several partial areas to provide material for the solo instruments, while numerous layers of upper partials created trigger points for the concrète sources.

The effect is that of a rather free monodic line colored by extreme (often unrealistic) orchestration choices.
