Mimesis (Piano and Modular (and Viola?) Improvisation)

April 9, 2021

This weeks video features me playing two instruments. Although only one is on video... I recorded a couple of different phrases and gestures on my Viola and through the magic of multitrack recording and line level inputs played them into Beads on my modular to improvise on the piano to. I really like the colour of the viola and how my (admittedly sort of crappy) playing lends a quite intimate feeling to everything I add it to. And if my crappy viola playing has some place in the world I think we all can feel a bit more relaxed about ourselves.

Patch Notes:

Again real simple this time: Viola goes into Beads. The buffer of Beads in "frozen" and via a LFO from Maths the grain position slowly scans through different regions of the buffer featuring different notes and phrases in slow motion. Oh and lot's of reverb!
