Elements by Franck Martin
Whilst vacationing in France on a farm next to Annecy lake, there was an old fountain outside. I found the sound of water coming from this fountain interesting, soothing, random but also repetitive. I recorded several minutes of it.
Back in San Francisco, I took this recording, and formatted it to fit on the MakeNoise Morphagene module, which is the digital version of an old audio tape player, where you can splice, slow down and overlap audio sounds. Tape loops were used in Musique Concrete and other early electronic music pieces. I built upon it a patch also using the unique Moogfest Subharmonicon in "ambient" mode and played it live at Resonant Frequencies 008 (20180805). This became the track “Water”.
Based on this, I figured, I should keep to this theme.
