Nadra Phalanx (2x C-66) [2020]
Proper release of this 2012 suite of "Automatic" Electronic Music, remastered from the original 24/96 session data; the ninth title in the “Hi-Res AUDIO” series. The first six pieces, originally aired as part of the MACBA's online RWM series "Composing With Process", curated by Mark Fell & Joe Gilmore, have here been augmented with four out-takes from the same session, as well as a live take performed with the same configuration, recorded on June 14th, 2012, at the Whitehaus in Jamaica Plain, MA.
Nadra Phalanx’ consists of a series of automatic pieces for Hybrid Digital-Analogue Modular Synthesiser. These un-monitored and unedited pieces were recorded on June 9th and 10th, 2012. According to Whitman, the tracks ‘all hinge around the same set of generative patches, where white noise is sampled then used to derive a series of 12 bucket brigade voltages that are attenuated, then multiplied and applied to all manner of automations within the patches’. Whitman goes on to explain that ‘all changes are programmed into the patches, even formal changes are due to extremely long duty cycles.
