Album Description
The first actual electronic music synthesizer I ever owned was the Aries Modular that is still in service in my studio. Prior to that I had played around with other people's instruments and built a few experimental circuits to generate sounds. My entire studio then consisted of the Aries, 2 Revox tape recorders, a microphone, and a decent set of headphones. Making music before more current MIDI or DAW e.g. computer sequencing was a very different approach for me than the process I most often tend to use now. I started with modular synthesizer gear, percussion, experimental/abstract concepts, and a tape recorder paradigm for recording workflow! I wanted to get back to using that older/original way of thinking about how I compose. This track, with impressionistic references to the balance of order and chaos we live in, has as a result a wide dynamic range and can be intrusive and disconcerting. Just as it was intended!
