This project is like a celebration. A celebration of the diversity of musical expressions in different cultures and historical moments. And a celebration of the amazing possibilities that the web offers as far as knowledge sharing and the collective construction of a common public domain.
I have always been fascinated by the presence of something close and familiar in distant and culturally alien music. I think this project responds in part to this fascination, or at least i see it as a way to work with it.
All songs uploaded are based on a fragment of a song, to which other fragments are added following a set of minimal rules:
The tone is not changed, all loops are in their original tones
Only small time adjustments are made so that the original character of the song does not vary in excess.
Working with 8 tracks, there are a maximum of 8 loops playing together
The songs are assembled using the Ableton Live 9 Standard, and Akai APC20 controller.
