about

do you want to know about this concept? do you?
alright, I'll tell you.

this started off as a late night, incidental, concept last night (29th August 2018), where I had programmed a trance synthesiser generative loop (bleep bloop, blip bloop type patterns, ie the Dubtron2 software synthesiser I have bought in Ableton), on my Korg Triton Le machine.

I then fed the electronics into a gated reverb signal path of a laptop playing a Sleep Spotify play list, leaving the tones to reassemble around the pianos of the play list. lots of tracks in the play list became granularly spat out, and altered in the overall tape loop studio ephemera. meaning they were basically remixed by me on the fly without I having to do anything with keys, strings or buttons to them. they were simply "effected".

as well as this, Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin was being watched on my phone in the studio, so there are boxing crowd samples littered over the sound path.

what does this all mean? nothing really. a art student could interpret the work many ways, for example one of my influences was fragmented memory in boxing culture and post-fight analysis, fed through chains, and this relates to signal paths in parallel fashion in music concurrently.

We hope you enjoy.

lyrics

just the odd vocal from boxing commentators and sportsmen.
