"Tribes of the Galaxy"

Fun with strobing polyrhythms... mostly. This started as a search for metallic filter apps after watching the Heinbach video for his "Gong Amp" but ended here. Feel free to jump around there's not a strict structure and it's pretty long but pay attention to the shifting rhythmic patterns. Music is not the universal language of the Galaxy but rhythm helps make a get together gel. Everyone tries to re-define the patterns and obscure the passing of time.

  • This is really good stuff. Your best work.

    Not work at all... I have a Mosaic script called "Glass Factory" with PPQN (Pulses Per Quarter Note) and "Strum" knobs. Changing PPQN and tweak the strum (which is a digital delay in effect) and I get these cool polyrhythmic effects.

  • Great stuff, I think if the percussion had a bit more umph … physicality, power, bass (not sure how to phrase it) it would have crossed the divide where you think, is this computer generated or are these real humans playing? Very enjoyable.

  • The ever so vacant synth notes reminded me of the beginningish of 12 monkeys with b willy where an intercom robotic female voice saying something like, “inmate #….?”, maybe in a train station/prison? My memory….-wuuuuteyva😜- I felt the gel of all those rhythms like probably only you and you alone would of made so perfect unless there some algorithm besides your intuition in action?

    I agree that this is not work. It's pure play!
    This piece, albeit simple and restrained, spoke to me.
    I was waiting for Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays to make an entrance.
    Use whatever technology is available to make beautiful music.
    I listened to this many times and enjoyed the experience.

  • Thanks for the listens and comments.

    The changes in the rhythms are from me slowly experimenting with 4 knobs or at times moving them rapidly to create morphing patterns.

    In earlier versions I had more synths some me the Glass script changes pitch with these rhythms but when pointed at Slammer and shaker(?) you get complex kits of pipes and rattles. I had a lot of filter based FX that consumed by CPU so I killed these synths and just played slow notes using Noise thru the FX too.

    I hesitated sharing because this way of composing still feels like it’s from the computer but that’s me feeling like a slacker for not practicing my technical drills and such.

  • I would agree with both ,"Your best work", and ,"It's pure play".

    I have always been fascinated with polyrhythms and
    this is feels like a joyous journey through some of them.

    The long notes provide a sonic landscape for the polyrhythms to play in.

    It's quite soothing to listen to.
    Thank you for sharing.

    🙏🏾

  • Thanks for this gem!

    The percussion is reminiscent of what I've heard during the Dragon Dance performances I've seen during Chinese New Year celebrations. Maybe it's not related, but I can't help but see it in my mind's eye. :)

    Really cool sounds.

    Now I'm going to have to return to Glass Factory. I was never able to get much going there but this inspired me.

    Try 2 instances on some drum apps like the Klevgrand stuff... and focus on contrasting PPQN's and them nudge "Strum" for the morphing drum circle or (Thanks @AlexY) Dragon Dance chaotic rhythms.

  • Very enjoyable. Has that captivating polyrhythm quality.

  • "Another Day Another Take"

    Swapped in "Continua" for the keyboard played synth pads and such.
    Added DrumJam to the drum circle of Slammer and Skaka.

  • This kept my interest. Amongst your best stuff for sure. It’s percussively repetitive… sort of…. That’s the good part. What, no bansuri?

  • I keep coming back to this. There's something about it. I would like to add a layer if that would be OK with you.

  • Love the percussions, and the strings, and the.. well… I just love all of it!
