Movement Study #4 (Glitch #3)

By fc on February 23, 2014 1:33 am

A continuation of some works I did last year, using the same original source material: https://soundcloud.com/vince-giles/move … dy-1-piano, a piece I wrote for solo piano improvisation in homage to La Monte Young.
#2: https://soundcloud.com/vince-giles/move … 2-glitch-1

#3: https://soundcloud.com/vince-giles/move … 3-glitch-2

#4a: https://soundcloud.com/vince-giles/move … y-3-glitch

And this is #4b.

Realised with SECTOR on iPad and Ableton Live.

Maybe it's something about the pitch/timbre of 4b, but I think the first 3 versions turned out better (esp. 2).

Fair enough. Obviously the first is a real piano, the second is arbitrary slices of the first recording, the third is a granular re-arrangement done with max. 4a was the same kind of sound as 4b and came about by accident when max played back the grains much faster (and thus higher) than in 3. In 4b, the tempo and relative speed were about 12x faster than the original and triggered stochastically. Interesting that you mention timbre. Thanks for listening to them all, though!

SECTOR seems worth a bit of time. Quite an engaging soundscape this, sounds like some kind of warped, chaotic machine just doing its thing. Particularly like the tonal happenings near the end there...
