about

Inspired by Steve Reich’s 1965, ‘It’s Gonna Rain’, and Brian Eno’s ‘Music For Airports’. This work builds on the premise of generative music, fusing it with ambient techno. The simple three note melody merges in and out as the track slowly builds and falls away over the space of 60 minutes.

The system is created using several different length loops operating independently. Starting off together the loops immediately follow their own cycle, orbiting at their own pace. As the loops repeat the notes sometimes play simultaneously creating simple chords. Other times they sound independently, or in rapid succession resulting in various three note arpeggios.

The beat fades in gently, and although there is a subtle crescendo around the middle of the piece, it intentionally never reaches the foreground. Instead it tenderly builds as each rhythmic element is delicately introduced.

The aim is for the piece to act something akin to a music meditation, or music for concentration. Saying that, it doesn’t need to be any of those things, it can simply be music for listening, or indeed music for a candid sunrise.
