CD Release: Peter Grenader • SECRET LIFE
2009-09-23 by Peter Grensader
With pride and an abundance of humility allow me to announce the upcoming release of my SECRET LIFE on Coda Recordings, scheduled for a street date of early December 2009...giving you all plenty of time to put it on all those holiday shopping lists (ha!) 52 minutes of electro-acoustic music which you can see, read and hear about here: http://www.ear-group.net/sl.html Secret Life is a collection of my studio works from 2002 to 2009. There are numerous technologies in play in this recording - those utilizing digital instruments, those using purely analog synthesizers and those which incorporate a mixture of both. Electrolux was composed entirely on digital machines for the sounding instruments yet incorporate heavy use of analog synthesizers as a controlling medium. The Ascent Into Light combines digital, sampling and analog instruments, while The Secret Life of Semiconductors and Je Suis Anonyme were realized solely on a Plan B modular analog synthesizer. An additional âbonusâ track , Eclipse, written in 1976 at California Institute of the Arts on the Buchla 200 Electric Musicbox has been included as track 5 and begins 1 minute after the conclusion of The Secret Life of Semiconductors.
