New Release on Accidental Records
A short piece for violin and electronics is released on Accidental Records.
A new work of mine for violin and electronics is released today on Accidental Records. The compilation called Antechamber Music features music by a fantastic selection of experimental artists and is available on limited edition cassette (with glittery tape!), download, and streaming.
The piece is an shortened version of an unreleased track Will I Dream? which gets its title from a quote from Peter Hyam’s sequel to the Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. The moment the onboard computer HAL confronts his digital ‘mortality’ – all memories erased. It has an unsettling sound world with lots of space between the notes to create a sense of void. Most of the sounds you hear have originated from the violin, manipulated through FX pedals (including the TC Helicon VoiceLive) and computer processed effects.
