Liner notes

Written for FAWM 2006. This one is substantially grittier than previous efforts and uses a lot of weird synthetic percussion. The lengths of percussive sections are taken from the Fibonacci sequence: 1n bars, 1n bars, 2n bars, 3n bars, 5n bars, etc. You may be able to hear the entry of the initial percussive motive at the beginning of each section. (This formal conceit breaks down about halfway through.)

Liner notes

This is a fairly rough mix of a sort-of-ambient tune I threw together one afternoon last summer. (There are better productions of this tune, but they aren’t publicly available yet.) I like this tune a lot.
