FORMATIONS by Christopher Ireland & John Benton

The piece above features visuals by Christopher Ireland and audio by John Benton. In the video below John goes over the process of creating the score, including some synth spotting.

"Inspired by exploring minimal, contemporary gallery installations, I was curious to see how human shapes could permeate flat surfaces in the simplest ways possible. The resulting shapes created the emergence of something from nothing – a philosophical idea in science that fascinates me. Hence the title formation.

The work was created in response to The POOL COLLECTIVE group show called The Naked and the Nude. Piecing together the sequences of shapes then became a dual exercise in choreography and editing, drawing on my background as a Director and a trained classical dancer, and was done with close collaboration with John Benton who would interpret the vision and respond to it musically."

This one made me a bit sad. I just checked iTunes and it is indeed gone. Hope all got your copy in time. :(

That said, this is a great send off. Thank you peff!

Chords and Melody With The WMD Arpitecht and Triad

Published on Jun 15, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this patch, we are using the Arpitecht and Triad as the main pitch controller for four different oscillators, (Make Noise DPO and Sputnik Dual Oscillator), with the main output of the Arpitecht controlling the bass voice, with the three outputs from Triad controlling the "chordal" content. The rhythms are being generated by a 4MS Rotating Clock Divider with random CV patched into the Rotate input, which are triggering four envelopes from the Sputnik Quad Function Generator. The modal content of each four oscillators can be easily adjusted by changing the Scale knob, and the Triad is being modulated to adjust the inversions of the triads. All oscillators are then mixed and panned in the Verbos Scan and Pan and sent through the Eos Reverb from Audio Damage, and finally mixed again in the WMD Performance Mixer.

Arpitecht, from WMD, is a voltage controlled arpeggio generator and quantizer. It is designed to help bring diatonic tuning in to the Eurorack realm, for aid in musical applications of modular synthesizers.

Melodies created by the Arpitecht can span 8 octaves and follow (or imply) chord changes. Acid basslines can be instantly performed. Even generative sequences can be produced with constant evolving patterns. With the companion module, Triad, it can also generate polyphonic chords.
