- mantadue
  (mp3 format; 6:40 -- 8.0 Mbytes)
While listening back to the five little
mantafantasies
I did using Jeff Snyder's
manta
interface, I found myself attracted to the sounds happening
between the events of the pieces, especially in the
trymanta5
composition. So I decided to extract these interstitial bits of audio to
see if I could fashion a piece entirely from them. mantadue is the
result (mantadue == residue from the manta pieces).
It's also been a week of terrible news.
Haiti,
health-care,
corporate takeover
of our political process, our
unpleasant new Governor
in NJ (poor Jill!); sometimes my inappropriate and ineffectual artistic
response is simply to want to drift away...
This also represents a full-throated (throated?) return to heavy
reverb for me, read
here
and
here
for the history behind this. I do like reverb!
