janus - momentum exchange



track: 24

recorded: 20170903

duration: 4:07

type: active



take 9 of 11 on the day,




the next two takes move us back to more active musical territory, starting with this track, "janus - momentum exchange" (and, a remarkable fact about the saturnian moon janus, is that it "swaps orbit" with one of it's neighbouring moons on a very regular basis - a remarkable and unique situation in our solar system).

the chaos of that moment of planetary handover, when the two moons decide they prefer each other's orbital paths - that's what I tried to capture here, with an almost rick wakeman-like approach to playing "lead synthesizer", underpinned by a remarkable sound called "tube dwellers" - with "transona lead" playing the wakeman-esque melodic parts.

I really had fun playing this one, because it was like going back to the "good old days" of synthesizer soloing, except - in an environment where there are no keys. somehow, I still managed some reasonably repeatable riffs and melodies, as if I DID have keys - a tricky task in the touch-controlled app environment.
