I am a composer? Hey make sure you check out all the ads on my page. Rampant commercialism is so awesome.
Story behind the song
my set this weekend at jenny's new place sounded something like this. i programmed it to simulate the leaky taps in my bathroom. the overall structure works like an osc sequencer, where one synth (or several) sends messages at rhythmic intervals to ask for the evaluation of each "track" at specific times. the controlling synth plays low frequency impulse trains at rational intervals to the fundamental, and at every period of the fundamental (or subharmonic thereof), it changes this interval. there is one of these synths controlling each track. as a result, the parts tend to meet at regular intervals and relate to each other coherently, while their specific relationships change regularly. the temperament is just, arranged in an 11-tone scale. the result is a strongly timed live coding paradigm which can be made to produce many different pieces of music. since the "sequencer" is changed by altering the osc responder, many changes can be made and executed simultaneously. in addition, the events being triggered need not be single synth notes, but really anything. patterns can be deployed, messages passed to other applications, computers, etc. this particular piece uses bird and insect samples i recorded from the Australian bush, in addition to the typically synthetic milieu.
Lyrics
after this initial layer i couldn't help but pass it through my wavelet patch. the wavelet size is 64 cycles, window is von hann, filter-derived sine function, gamut matches the scale of the piece, randomly panning.
