Polymetric Piano Counterpoint (The Dawn), Fabio Anile (2010)
“Minimalist composition based on patterns of different lengths sharing the same pulse. Instruments: grand piano, marimba, shakers, claves, live looping software.”

“a music boffin enunciates Shostakovich’s signature motif, this is doubled up as 2 loops of different length
producing a phasing effect, loops of voice,mouth organ,and harp add an swirling impressionistic wash.
The title is a ‘fellow’ composers critique of Shostakovich.produced in Soundforge.”

Bruce Hamilton-Glibs (2010)
“Glibs” is about trying to create a static yet floating or soaring environment. I use Paul Muller’s minimalist textures a lot in my IF (ImprovFriday) mashes and usually use most or all of his tracks, but this time i just took a few bars and looped them with some processing to create a pulsing, energized, harmonic pad.
To this groove I couldn’t resist adding and tweaking Jukka-Pekka Kervien’s glitchtronica, which is also very busy but ultimately a static texture. On top of these controlled fireworks Adam Kondor’s sparse string lines hover, providing an acoustic contrast with slow melancholic melodies and counterpoint. I manipulated these lines a fair amount to get them to sit right in the harmony and in the mix.
Finally I added some warm pizzicato bass tones to flesh out the spectrum and add harmonic nuance. So ultimately it’s the acoustic string elements that provide form, and the electronic parts ,both stable and chaotic, that serve as eternal and essentially unchanging presences.
I like the simultaneously human and otherworldly feelings thesecontrasts can provide, and love the fact that these elements were contributed from around the planet and remixed within a weekend.”
