EXTEMPORE

Wes Moynihan Four beautiful side-long pieces to immerse yourself in. These ambient soundscapes have a lightness that I love, and each of the four movements has its own character and mood. 2022 has produced some excellent ambient drift, and this album is among the best of them. I love the artwork too.

about

The compositions on this album are made of harmonic chord progressions using Neo-Riemannian translations. Neo-Riemannian theory is a collection of ideas and models of music theorists such as David Lewin, Brian Hyer, and Richard Cohn and is named after Hugo Riemann (1849–1919), a German musicologist, who had proposed in the 1880’s a system of harmonic transformations that related triad chords directly to each other. The idea behind this theory is that motions between proximate triad chords can be described by a few basic transformations that change only one note from the chord a half or whole tone up or down. NR-transformations were implemented as algorithms in the firmware of the Ornament & Crime Eurorack module. The O&C module generates quantized voltage signals that can be used to define the individual pitches of three oscillators such that they produce musical triad chords.

The music on this album is made with a modular synthesizer system. Modules used are: Ornament & Crime (quantizer, voltage generator), Studio Electronic Quadnic (four-voice digital wavetable oscillator) as the sound source, Mutable Instrument Marbles (main clock, trigger signals), Doepfer A-118 (white & coloured noise), Soejrd's MS20 VCF (low pass filter), Nano Font ('liquid' filter), Make Noise Maths (envelope generator), Kilpatrick K4815 (clock divisions, gate/trigger signal), Make Noise Mimeophon (audio repeater, delay), Endorphines Milky Way (Hall reverb effect) and last but not least, Valhalla Supermassive for even more reverb effects
