Particle Chant by Schema Musicalis published on 2020-04-03T22:14:47Z Particle Chant I collected a large number of granular sounds, using mainly analog synthesizers and contact microphones, as well as synthesis and processing techniques which helped me get granular textures from other types of sound material. My initial goal was a strictly monomorphic piece, something like a study on granular discourse. Along the way and as the piece got longer, I decided to introduce additional sounds of a contrasting nature. These I created from the existing material or anew. Eventually, the piece finds a fragile balance between the pointillist and the continuous, ‘presence’ and ‘environment’, following one of my main compositional concerns – fusion and dialectic between contrasting and complementary sonic forms, towards a dynamic equilibrium. 2019 -2020 Genre Electronic
