Listen "SO3-E06: Shimmering Light from the Time Mirror"
Episode Synopsis
Story:
A dreamy cinematic ambient song to accompany your time mirror viewing sessions.
Composer's Notes:
This song was inspired by sci-fi movies, tv series, and books that explore peering into the multiverse and time-travel. The title was inspired by the Outer Limits episode "Demon with the Glass Hand".
Producer's Notes:
This song was produced in three sessions:
Session 1: I composed 4 layers off-grid varying between even and odd bar lengths ranging from 4-9 bars performing on Ableton Push 2. The interplay of these even and odd lengths results in melodies and motifs that round-robin in interesting ways and often result in call and response. I improvised a lead melody line with all these layers in motion performing on keys. You hear this melody in the final piece starting around 1m9s. The notes in the bell sound throughout are triggered using varying levels of probabilities to add variety throughout the piece.
Session 2: I did a real-time mix down and arrangement session using Ableton Push 2 to perform with these "musical objects" to turn them into this song.
Session 3: I did a mastering session doing some lite editing of all the automation for synth parameters and volumes. I added and additional automation envelope to the bells layer at the end of the piece to introduce increasing pitch randomization to the granular synth engine to cause the bells to drift to become more dissonant.
