Alpha Whorl

Piano-centered, some ideas swirling around, quickly recorded, over three days when there was a moment of energy, last minute. Exploring a new instrument. Single track recordings, except Epsilon (2 tracks). The Delta tracks, though still piano based, take a bit of a turn, as delta seems wont to do. With the global grief of the pandemic, combined with personal grief, I haven't been able to focus as much as I'd like to deeply develop new music. In the meanwhile, I occasionally throw together a rough experiment, such as this Piano Whorl Experiment. I need to be playing the piano more, anyways. The new Soundpaint combined with an aim to release something new this month pushed to me to write and record this week in between reviewing music & submitting votes, client work, and a bevy of game audio events that appeared this week. Instrumentation and tools used: Fandrich & Sons 130V piano with Moog PianoBar and Sequential Prophet XL as dual controllers connected via CME Pro WIDI Master (MIDI over Bluetooth) and Blokas midihub. Soundpaint 1928 Steinway (4-part layered piano patch with multiple delays). Apple Logic, iZotope Ozone 9, Fabfilter Pro Q, MeterPlugs, ujam Finisher Dynamo (Delta & Delta Whorl Shimmer), Plogue chipsynth OPS7 (Epsilon Whorl).
