Cheerful and Undefeated

I didn’t like the fact that ‘Spite‘ was the only portrait online of my late father. I hope this photo captures some of the warmth and gregariousness of the man.

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same colour as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.

Random Ambient Collaboration

Published at April 15, 2008 in accolades. 1 Comment

Random Ambient is a new concept in which the pieces are not composed, but performed by short pieces of music in the appropriate key. Each piece lasts between 5 and 45 seconds and is placed into a playlist that is played at random.

By multi-tracking these playlists, extraordinary results are produced.

Submit short snippets (between 5 and 45 seconds) of sound that consist of a single note (eg. C).

Through random playback and multi-tracking a veritable orchestra of ambience via online collaboration is born.

You can get all the details and hear examples here. The video below illustrates the concept in action.
