longwaves
I had a bunch of recordings of Puget Sound from the COVID lockdown period, so after dinner for several nights I went down to the studio and worked on some smallish pieces using those sounds. I wound up with three I liked; each one using the audio and 'structural' aspects of my surf field recordings in different ways. The first one took a single wave and progressively stretched it out in time, adding a few guitar-shredding (ha! rock star!) arpeggios along the way. The second resynthesized a very stretched-out wave sound using only a limited set of harmonics for the reconstruction. Sustained guitar-chords on this one. The third used an unaltered recording of the waves but added a resynthesis part based on the amplitude and spectral structure of the original sound. Here are the three pieces:
