Inside the Hadron collider

Post by OccinticLady »

This week, I present a piece from an other "flow" (an album in the making? :wink: ).
Namely, we'll listen to the collision of the particles inside the collider.
The sequence (arpeggio, I assume) is made by the Monologue, where I use a built-in sequence to drive a softsynth. The Monologue is used merely as a MIDI keyboard that sends sequences of Note-On signals, I dont use the synth part, only the sequence it generates.
For the rest, this is played in one go, enhanced and dusted off a bit, packaged and I tied a nice ribbon around it.
I do hope you'll like it...
Thanks so much
Melissa

That is a beautiful and very "illustrating" piece. Love the strings that enter at around 1:00, how did you do them?

Thanks :D
The strings are played in. I should have filmed me playing it (perhaps I do that when re playing it).
The arpeggio is a pattern that came with the Monologue. I noticed that, instead of one note-on, it played the whole sequence as note-on when set in sequence mode. I fed that sequence in a softsynth.
That was the right hand. The two tones were D# and A#) around where the sequence played. For the rest, I played along with the sequence.
The left hand played the strings and the glass dream.
As usual, I had a toothpick holding a key down (G# this time)
A raced between two keyboards with the left hand... :wink:
It illustrates the wild collisions (the arpeggio) and the poetry (the strings and glass dream) of the patterns they make...

As I already commented: it's a lovely piece. I love the idea of particle physics inspired meditation. Both in themselves good things, but combined they make for a powerful package. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry to be so late to the party, but I couldn't pass this without tossing a flower onstage. Nice work, Melissa.
