This track is a transformation, in honor of painter Clyfford Still, of a sample of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, II. Andante, culled from this recording:

The Romney Plan [disquiet0036-cstillconcerto]
I began by putting massive amounts of noise reduction on the sample in Adobe Audition. It gives a strange, blank quality to the melodic instruments and reduces the continuo to clanks and blonks. I then stretched the original track to more than four times its length (also in Audition). I did several different treatments of the few seconds of noise at the very beginning of the recording. Those clips became the elements of the piece.
Everything was assembled, in an improvisatory and rather haphazard way, in Ableton Live. Tracks were randomly pitch shifted on the fly, and I used several types of Ableton’s filter delays to open up the sound.

really like this section. it's almost as there is a re-scoring going on with the layers you have.

the leviathan low-end, the textures rising up suspended and wavering, then the melody decaying and mutating, until the arresting finish - superb

noise reduction might be a nice idea to reduce loud mass. worth a try

Great! You've managed to reference the original piece, but at the same time, in places you allow it to completely morph it into something new. Nice track!
