It does pan a bit wide. I had the left and right channels more toward center
at first, but then, as I was venturing into unknown territory (for myself,
that is), I decided to keep it extreme. I think it's interesting for the
listener to realize at some point that the panning is frequency dependent. I
think overall the track can be somewhat unsettling, especially with the
clicky stuff that comes out of the 440.
I had a long discussion with Kristen (my significant other) last night about
this track. She thought that there was a regularity to it that she felt I
could/perhaps should have broken free from. It was kind of disappointing
because, though there is a specific regularity to the single note that the
303 plays each measure (which you only hear at certain points), the 320 LFO
and the 410 LFOs are moving at different rates, and I was actively changing
the rates over the course of the track to counter their "natural"
regularity. So based on her take on the track, I failed!
I'll have to check out that Hazard track.
Speaking of disorientation in music: Is anyone into The Anti-Group A.K.A.
The Anti-Group Conspiracy (TAGC)? Brainchild of Adi Newton (Clock DVA). I
brought home the Meontological Research CD (took years tracking a copy down)
and I had to take it off because it was making Kristen feel physically ill.
I don't know a lot about psychoacoustic stuff and physical effects of
acoustic stuff (I've read a lot, but I'm not an expert by any stretch), but
Newton is rather insane about it all and has written tons of pages regarding
this kind of thing; also see Coil and William S. Burroughs in Daniel Odier's
book "The Job: Interviews with WSB." Not as unsettling by far, the TAGC
album "Digitaria" is beautiful.
BTW--I'm not sure what you meant by cut-ups--there are no edits or overdubs
in the track. It was recorded live. Perhaps you mean structurally--that I
understand.
Thanks for listening!
David.
