Textural Counterpoint II

By fc on February 24, 2012 5:49 am

This piece uses an F#7b9 chord for its entirety, and is automated control over the synthesizers used (Logic FM, ES1, Sculpture and something else...) along with a Freesound sourced sound recording of birds. http://www.freesound.org/people/philippe%20b/ many thanks to Philippe B and his donation of the sound to the world of CC. The idea of the piece is what I'll call "Dimensional Counterpoint", in that, things move in and out of focus in a contrapuntal style, and the timbres to the same. Birds are just pretty and I wanted to use them for continuity form last week.

Yerp.

I have donated the wave of this file to my improv group, so it might get reinterpreted, added to and subtracted from at a later date also.

What are birds?

Awesome sounds dude.

Tweety animals that fly around, may or may not be descended from dinosaurs?

Damien: cheers.

Finally get some time to listen to some tracks. Starting with yours big_smile! This is some really nice drone. Classic sci-fi feel to it, Forbidden Planet style.

@Derris: thanks dude.
@Thursday: Many thanks! Not familiar with Forbidden Planet though.

Must-see sci-fi film. First movie to have a completely electronic soundtrack. Well worth the time to check it out.

I'll check it out, sounds awesome!

This sounds awesome mate, really cool

Love Forbidden Planet.  Have it on DVD. 

I like the concept you've run with here and it works well. 

love this. calm and subtle to thick and nauseating
