Gleanings #1 After Stockholm

duncan

This is the first of a series of solo pieces created over the last few years.

n March 2022 I (finally after several postponements due to the Coronavirus pandemic) spent a week working in the studios of EMS in Stockholm. This was a particularly productive time with space and resources to explore existing and new things. This piece combines some of the materials that I was working with in the studios. A mixture of processed field recordings and sounds generated with the Buchla modular system. Many thanks to EMS for the time and space to create.

It is really great to be a small part of this wonderful compilation.

 

 

The measure of all circles

duncan

A version of the piece “The measure of all things is the breath” , this version has a sequence of images of lights found in lifts on the docklands light railway. The sound is all generated using a Sibelius version of the score (Score is in the SOUNDS section of this website) which has then been performed using a series of live Ableton patches.
