Utopia 14 [disquiet0264-Time Travel] by Lardizabala

Narrative: the future of the past as shown by Kurt Vonnegut's 1952 Utopia 14, Carl Sagan's spaceship and the like. Recorded sounds would dance and swim in the vast obscurity of future space continuum, that is now.

Tech: A layered three track midi improvisation. First improvising with clarinet, then with french horns upon oboe. Finally with an arpeggiator called 'fig leaf' I improvised over french horns, oboe on mute. The idea is to partly disrupt the possibility of harmonic improvisation, to meet and part melodies, while also using reverse arpeggios for clarinet and horn. Later in audacity I cut the original improvisation (6:15)into a 3:02 format, with bits of fade outs in the beginning for a little balance and paulstretching outro.
