about

Song 3 is an example of what can happen during FAWM if I lose track of time :-) I realised today that I was "due" another composition to post, but none of the ideas I had felt like they would produce something in time... except for one: an experiment with the iPhone app Polychord Mini.

I'm quite fond of the sort of little instrumentals Brian Eno included on "Another Green World", as well as those by the cult Welsh band Young Marble Giants, and this piece reminds me a bit of both artists' work (and would even more, if I'd given myself longer to work on it!). The main backing track was produced in Polychord Mini (and for some reason, everything came out a bit "wonky" - as Eno would say, "honour thy error as a hidden intention"), and once I exported it and re-loaded the track into Multitrack DAW on the iPhone, I overdubbed Stylophone and Mellotron samples from Bismark bs-16i. The former was played "one-fingered" using bs-16i's keyboard, whilst the Mellotron chords were triggered by SoundPrism Pro. The swoopy electronic tone near the end, was produced by Monotone Delay (an app clone of the Korg Monotron synth).

This one "is what it is", really... I'll try harder for song 4 (!), but I hope the track has a lopsided charm of its own :-)
