Ecstasies Of The Fallen - my first IPad/modular match up got unexpectedly epic
In truth, it’s mostly loops I made in Ipad, using a few synth apps I’d been neglecting, like Tera Synth, live-mixed/jammed from AUM into the rack, with assorted bangs and clanks coming from Pam’s New Workout triggers chucked through Monsoon and granularised.
It all got a bit huge and crazy tbh, and so I thought a suitably grandiose title was my only get out clause*. Because as everyone knows, there ain’t no sanity clause…
Enjoy!
*And because for some reason it made me think about the freedom those fabulously improbable fallen angels allegedly won for themselves through their apparent defeat, or, as Milton put it: “ Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” I’m with Team Lucifer ( the light bringer) all the way. I mean, all those bloody choirs and harps and ‘praising’ all the time upstairs… who could stand it? 😈
Also: what a fabulous painting that is, by Alexandre Cabanel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Cabanel, the boy angels’ single tear, and his smouldering eternal resentment…
Comments
Bloody loved this... And of course it's paired with this most beautiful painting
Thanks so much for this... made my day
Wow! Really good! I especially loved the passage from :50 to around 1:14ish! I was actually hoping you’d revisit that passage again in the piece, but I guess darkness prevailed… this time!
@senhorlampada : thank you! Yes, I am kind of obsessed with that painting now, which I only found looking for something to go with the piece. I might need to get a print of it. Not my usual taste, it’s later than I expected (1845) by Napoleon 3rd’s fave artist, who was 24, or about the same age as the angel, when he painted it. He really got something in that surly kid’s defiant sadness…
@Edward_Alexander : thank you! I know exactly what you mean. That first section of swelling glory came out of nowhere, and it was tempting to just go with it, but then I discovered this rich dark bass swell, and the idea of contrasting the one with the other, of the dark overwhelming the light, suggested a whole journey for the piece, which is when I found myself thinking of fallen angels, and condemned men in penal colonies finally understanding the meaning of a message inscribed in their flesh by a machine that writes the story of their crimes into them until they die from it…
… I am too drawn by the darkness, perhaps. But hey, whaddyagonna do, amiright ladiesangennerlmen?
A friend of mine, who didn’t much like it, said it sounded to her like:
‘lift music in Tartarus, where the only direction is always down… Maybe that is hell for some folks ... being stuck in an eternally descending lift. Or in a supermarket checkout queue, with this playing over and over ... perhaps on an old cd that's got a few scratches and keeps skipping. And even better yet, perhaps its intermittently interrupted by the random, semi incoherent mumbling of a demon over the tannoy ...
"This is a staff announcement, will all succubi please mumble mumble at checkout 6 mumble for the mumble mumble. Thank you."
And the queue never, ever gets any shorter...”
Boom tisch! (with a lot of reverb)
Great stuff, and I like your friend’s review; I’ve no problem getting in lifts to the underworld 😁
@Krupa : Ha! Thanks for the listen, and the comment. I said to my friend that I’ll have to take her comments as producer notes for the extended remix version. Which in fact, is not an impossible idea…
