about

Been working on making live ambient performances with my modular, octatrack, minitaur, and lil keystep.

For this piece, i repeatedly watched a scene from Makoto Shinkai's Garden of Words, attempting to translate the emotion i felt to score the scene with my upright piano. I took my favorite take, sliced it up in the octatrack and built an outline for this new song, a sort of refraction of the original piece; a list of patterns & scenes i could switch between at will. I then created harmonious patterns for the different modular synth voices as well as the minitaur, always trying to leave space for exploration in the moment rather than pure dictation through sequencing.

The final piece you hear here is a one take live performance of this idea, shifting between different scenes, playing pads and swells with one hand, managing the modular and octatrack with the other, to create an atmospheric obscured reflection of Shinkai's own beautiful work of art. I hope you dig it, more on the way...
