These 2 pieces formed part of a 2 hour all hardware live performance on Yonder Festival’s Ambient stage, in Nov 2021.
The set itself consisted of 7 different movements, the pieces here being 2 of them. This recording is the main stereo mix from the FOH board at the performance.
Abide’s melodic sequencing is based on the use of analog shift registers as opposed to traditional sequencing methods, imbuing the melodic base of the piece with a degree of controlled uncertainty, whereby the notes were constrained to fall within a certain scale but with a totally random octave and note result.
Cloud Six utilises tactile control modules and physical modelling synthesis to approximate something similar to a digital string instrument, with the bass also being manually performed.
Eurorack modular synth, Nord Drum 2 & Moog Werkstatt through various fx pedals and processors, performed live on a humid, post rainstorm outdoor stage.
