about

"Figures Without Ground." was created in a single take with almost no editing and minimal mastering, using only a Doepfer-format modular synthesizer. The sliding tones - created by self-resonating filter feedback - move around each other in a wobbly, almost organic way, like watching ivy grow up the side of a building. After an initial stage of carefully building the patch, the synth was allowed to generate the music with only very minimal involvement on my part. I was very pleased with how the patch grew almost unaided into something that sounds so living. I've never been able to duplicate exactly this quality of loping, looping rhythms and microtonal self-adjustments. With modular synthesizers, each patch - and each performance of each patch - is different from all the others, just by the contingencies of time and environment. Environmental shift over time is major part of my work, and is reflected in my choice of materials such as acoustic and electronic feedback, and recordings of dynamic natural settings.
