exit strategy - live improv


track: 03

sugar bytes application used: thesys

recorded: 20140511

duration: 6:49

take: 1

type: active


the third track presented here on "music for apps: thesys - an eternal album" is sonically, wildly different again to tracks one and two of the album, but I really like the "groove" that it gets into immediately - with that short, stabbing, but powerful bass part, and the heavily distorted sequence that is the main backdrop to the piece - it's very compelling.

at the same time, a lot of very odd little things are going on in the track, very short, but very quick, melodies are flying about the stereo image, while various beeping and almost animal-yapping like sounds are also heard - it's a crazy, crazy jumble of truly odd sequences, yet, somehow, it just works.

this is one of those piece that is almost mesmerising due to it's repetition - in this case, it's not a live track, although the original loop was live - it's a 1:09 loop that I extended manually, to create the illusion of a longer piece of music, and the very long fade out at the end, is a very gentle way to wander away gradually from what is quite an intense musical experience - I give you, "exit strategy".
