about

Dudes, let me just tell you something. You ever listen to binaural beats? This is basically binaural beats. I totally 100% should have made this a binaural beats In C, except I didn't think about it until just now. Well, this is the difference between me and THAT me, the me that does the thing necessary to think the thing necessary to MAKE THE ALBUM THE SICKEST IT CAN BE. well I'm sorry. I got distracted this evening emailing a friend about feelings. I couldn't help but prioritize that, like, here I am STOPPING IT TO PRIORITIZE THIS, so I'm no Feelings Saint, just saying that that's the decision it feels like I'm making. THE EXCUSE I'M GIVING

FOR not giving you my all, but rather some of it to someone else. This is what it looks like. What does it look like to you?

And here we are, What does it look like to you? is, in fact, at the bottom of it all. It's a question that I'm convinced needs to have a much bigger presence in the World Society's educational curriculum. It's what educators really need to be asking their pupils. Or what anyone should be asking anyone constantly :) :) :) I'm so frequently flabbergasted when I find out what someone else's experience of a situation was : ) : ) X )

All I'm really trying to talk about is what this music is. I just followed those damn parameters that are the score of Terry Riley's In C, and damn if midi files aren't consistent. So of course, this rendition of the piece is without conscious interactions of the 35 players, it's basically turned into more of a chance piece, the chance that occurs within the parameters of the 53 melodic phrases, the direction for each of the 35+ musicians to stay within 2--3 phrases of each other (Some moments here stray by 4, and briefly by 5), and to play the phrases roughly between 45-90 seconds (sometimes here 30 for fun).

I learned a lot working on this, although, mostly about computers, which is fun, computers are very important tools in 2017. Hope you like the instruments I chose! If I had ordered more RAM for my computer in time, I'd've done some mixing to make it a tad more musical, but as is, I think it's a pretty decent experiment and space for learning.

Hope you space out to it sometime!
