This skin, it cages me. I long to be free. To escape this puzzle of bone and flesh.
Time and space. Birth to death. Death in chrysalis will be to live once again.
Chrysalis, a metaphorical personification of audio. Painting pictures with sound.
You start with a concept & from there you sound design. This same procedure was exercised on the track "The Palentir". In the works will be an algorithm tribute to George Duning.
Chrysalis is an algorithm performance generating midi notes converted to voltages for the high frequency modular synth oscillator noise field (representing the cocoon). The algorithm also generates the notes for the low-end piano tremors (the butterfly wrestling about inside). Generated notes play the Roland JX10 (the improvisational butterfly leaving the cocoon). There is a lot of live mixing here that directs the high frequency audio but otherwise a totally generated performance.
This 2004 recording is one of my first full algorithm compositions. Where all the notes for the performance were generated by the patch.
