200e

Hi Don,

Thanks so much for listening and for your kind comments.  The compositional process involved creating a new patch each day and take it through a bunch of variations while recording it in Ableton Live.  Each day I approached a different texture.  Then folllowed days of gleaning and editing specific timbre, phrases and phases. Then, yesterday I spent the entire day "composing", i.e putting together, the entire piece in Logic Express.  I've had a piece of this magnitude in my mind for quite some time, having a few weeks to devote to it really helped let it unfold.  Thanks for asking :-)

all best wishes,

      Wow Todd,

This work is so incredibly wonderful!. Of course, so is your other work. But certainly I can understand your pride with this one! What was your compositional process?

Subject: [200e] analog textures: a buchla piece



  

Dear Friends,



I’m eager to share my new electronic music piece which I

consider my first true composition for the Buchla system.



 



After years of exploring and experimenting with the Buchla

200e Electric Music Box, I have now sculpted a little piece that pays homage to

the depth, insight, intuition and imagination of its master-builder: Don

Buchla.  This is my brief magnum

opus to Don’s constellation of expressively and musically designed modules.   All sounds were created on a

12-module Buchla system.  Some

sounds where processed on the fly inside Ableton Live 8 using its stock delays

and reverbs along with some chorusing from Sound Toys’ Crystallizer.   If you’ve got 8’30” to spare sit

back with some good studio monitors or headsets and enjoy!   All best wishes, Todd
