extrasolar sympathies [disquiet0272] by willbenton

This is mostly guitar and Mutable Instruments Clouds. The pitch classes in this piece are taken from the ratios of the orbit periods of six of the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system: 1:1, 4:3 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, 8:1. I recorded some guitar noodling into Live, processed it into multiple loops, and then fed the loops back into Clouds, automating the buffer position from Live and automating other parameters by hand. Two hard-panned aleatoric tracks of full notes and tails of the high E (8:1) keep the texture varied.

I used reverb, delay, and channel-strip plugins in the box but all sound sources are either guitar or Clouds.
