about
"This track is an early product of experiments with sampling to impose a pulse on drone-like content. First manually, and later with a python script, I spliced together similar-length chunks from random points in an input audio file, resulting in a short sound file of a sequence of 'beats' that could be repeated, arranged and manipulated, and with no two being identical. Matt Politoski's meditative piano arpeggios from '8 Emanations' were a perfect candidate, serving as a melodic anchor, and coupled with the occasional static of rain. The opening section is recursive, running one improvisation with this material repeatedly through the script to further fragment it."
