Flockterkit by Aram Shelton

Starting with a focus on slowly changing chords with attention on harmony and orchestration, the music of Flockterkit inhabits the space between Shelton's two sides of music: acoustic improvisation and electro acoustic process-based compositions. It can focus on the many textures of the involved instruments and use them in a light framework that allow for expansion via improvisation and the electroacoustic process of phrase modification. It is also joyful and melodic music that uses the combination of instruments to create fullly orchestrated songs.
