What happens when you apply some over-the-top effect patches to some equally over-the-top synth presets? Well, this is what happened to me: I started writing a fairly normal-sounding piece based around a conventional rhythm and chord progression, then realised it really wasn’t at all appropriate. So I threw out the rhythm section, forgot the structure and just enjoyed playing with the sounds.
Holding down the sustain pedal, I added more and more tones, starting with a distinct pedal tone but then adding dissonant tones and reinforcing some of these to shift the ‘root’. Then I added some clusters and little motifs but generally keeping everything sustained and slowly-evolving.
