take: 1
type: active
this is a "take 1" live performance
"n-space", the second track on this eternal album, that features the "thesys" application, is a much longer musical journey than track one, that takes us deep into an alien sound world, where musical events, treatments, and surprises are around every corner - from thesys itself, with it's absolutely insane ability to mutate sequences in some seriously musically twisted ways...to the way I move the various effects around as well, it;s absolutely a delight to use.
this track allowed me to really stretch out, and experiment with overlaying effects in brief bursts, or for longer periods, which caused "warp-age" sometimes so extreme, but always musical, and variations of pitch, reverb, bit crush, speed, filters...all combine together to make up what is at once, possibly one of the strangest pieces of music I have ever created, but at the same time, I find myself utterly fascinated with what can be done in real time, using turnado to alter the basic sounds of thesys in ways that were an absolute joy to experience as it happened.
"n-space" is also remarkable in that, like track 01, it's totally live - this is what I sat down and played with thesys on that day - all of the strange effects and treatments, having been done in real time as I performed - talk about a delight to work with, thesys is simply amazing, and the rest of the effects applications deserve equal praise for their role in these pieces, especially though, in this piece, because between the two, we have something truly extraordinary here - something that I have never really heard anything quite like...
