Improvising Hive. This is my attempt to jump back into the Disquiet Junto . I wanted to do another piece that uses the tonality diamond, which takes the mathematical relationships in just intonation and extrapolates them to create finer divisions of pitch, so I extracted some code from The Sound of Ocean Heat Energy and built a small instrument that draws its pitches from the 11-limit diamond agai...

Inspired by Bolt Thrower being excellent despite keeping it simple, I’ve been trying to write riffs that way. I think they are more solid than what I usually come up with.

Trying Can Can with the full orchestra. Watching these kids’ rehearsals drives home how much music context matters to the music experience. You know music comes from people. In this case, I know that they’re kids and that they’re learning. Sometime I only know that it’s some bedroom ambient guy with a computer. Whatever I know informs everything I hear. That’s why this mistake-packed playthrough i...

The 5th and 6th grade summer camp string orchestra consisted of: - Four violins - Two violas - Eight cellos - One bass I guess cello is having a moment! Suffice to say, those aren't the proportions they have in Serious Orchestras, but obviously you gotta let the kids play what they actually want to play, and that config didn't sound bad at all.
