I’ve added a new song to the gallery, Unlikely. As I don’t have my mastering software at hand, I’ve put up the raw cut for now and will replace it with a more balanced version in a few weeks.

It’s a curious little exercise in forced minimalism. The only thing that gets “played” is a distortion unit attached to a short, uninteresting loop. The results are lush, sometimes melodic, sometimes textural.

I’m working with a less powerful computer for a few weeks, and so am limited as to what I can get away with with regards to complexity. I am heartened that the constraints will serve to motivate rather than stifle, and will produce some interesting pieces. As an old teacher repeated to me over and over again, “the more you limit yourself, the more freedom you have.”
