Imitation for Poly Evolver Keyboard

Published on Oct 26, 2017 Sacred Synthesis

"A short improvisation using the style of "imitation" - repeating a melodic theme at different pitches and with variations. The highest development of imitation is a Fugue.

The piece was played on one keyboard - the eight-voice Poly Evolver; no bass pedals were used.

The patch uses a distinctive digital wave shape which is happily typical of the Evolvers. It is slightly raspy, due to the use of Audio Modulation, which adds to an otherwise transparent sound a greater definition of pitch. Otherwise, the lower notes seem to consist almost entirely of partials, with no apparent fundamental. The original wave shape (minus the Audio Modulation) has an ice cold crystal blue quality. Hence, the color of the instrument itself seems to be most fitting.

The picture was taken after a long night in the music room. The late hours allow for uninterrupted concentration unlike any other part of the day, as every artist appreciates.
