about

"„Dorchester Pink“ is track #135 of an ongoing series, currently consisting of 160 pieces. 
Whenever you venture into the ambient genre, a „pad“ or „drone“ sets the mood and tone for the piece. In 2014, I was experimenting with a new software to extract some pads from some loops I made. They were meant to be the base for future pieces. At a first listen, the results were promising, so I saved the settings for future use.

After listening to the new material more carefully, it fell in love with it. The new loops became finished pieces instead of building blocks for future use. So instead of adding more instruments, the pad was good enough to work as a piece on its own.

Today, whenever I generate a promising tonal loop, I throw it in the system, using more or less the same settings from 2014. Then I let the software do its thing. I just record half an hour and the listen to the track afterwards. Quite often the result disappoints, occasionally something sounds decent.

Sure, there’s not much happening here. If you look at the waveform, you’ll instantly see tonal loop, edges washed off by granular synthesis and a bit of reverb. But if you zoom in, there are tiny variations, glitches, overdubs, which, in my opinion, make it worthwhile to keep listening to it. It is the interplay between the repeating melody and the changing timbre that works – at least for my taste.

I use these pieces for meditation, focused work, or as an aural tapestry in the best Brian Eno sense. It‘s not that I actively listen to the pieces, they just set a background for things to evolve.

They are meant to be heard with headphones at a low or medium volume, but if you feel like it, crank up your speakers."
