Earthquakes Behind Closed Doors

By kevanatkins on March 13, 2016 6:16 pm

After last week's sad excuse for a track, the piano has come back, this time processed with a live rig I put together for a recent audition.

This track is entirely live. The only editing is the courtesy top and tail.

Oh man. This is beautiful. Gentle and detailed and engaging and all those good things. Is that FFT-freezing I hear, or something else?

Thanks man! FFT freezing indeed. It's basically picking up frequency bins that pass over a threshold and then sustaining them for a given amount of time until they decay. It could also be thought of as being more like a spectral reverb with a threshold.

really like this, very eloquent, falling apart in a beautiful chaos that reverberates through infinity

Thanks for the very eloquent comment!

Minimal richness, much liked.

And thanks for the concept you provided re Operator; I've (mis)interpreted your approach and you can expect to hear it in a future post (attributed to you, of course).

Thanks, Jim. I look forward to hearing what you do with it. It's all part of the fun of being on here.

Very nice atmosphere
