OBJECTS AND GAPS
On this release, Pulselovers and Listening Center explore inner visions of some of the outermost reaches of the Cosmos, providing proximate moods for objects and gaps of unthinkable distance and negative mass.LISTENING CENTER – RA 14h 50m 0s | Dec +46° 0′ 0″
The title of this track is the set of co-ordinates of the approximate center of the Boötes supervoid, one of the largest known voids in the observable universe.The music was initially composed using a shift register/voice allocator which has the ability to shift melodies into “rounds” across multiple voices. With this, I used a sequence I had been playing around with and some MFB drum voices to do a live direct to stereo mix. I then composed some melodies and harmonies on my old Micromoog on top and then mixed everything down to 1/4” tape at 7.5 ips.PULSELOVERS – UY Scuti (BD-12° 5055)
The red supergiant UY Scuti is one of the largest stars in the known universe (at least 1,000 times larger than our own sun). For the music, I wanted to give the star a relatable identity with a personality which perhaps betrays the sheer magnitude of its physical mass. To do this, I came up with a playful melody on the Dominion X and surrounded that with celestial arpeggios and a Bass Station solo. Everything is held together (as usual) with a bossanova-lite rhythm made up of CR-78 samples and some deep-space whooshes. The final mastering polish was provided by David.
