ellebi5419 Colonna sonora ideale per una installazione, ma anche per un negozio di vendita o qualsiasi ambiente pubblico, perché aiuta a mantenere calma la psiche.
In certi momenti, mi fa ricordare i Popol Vuh degli anni '70.

Dark Sines / Taylor Proffitt Always a pleasure to add Scott’s work to the collection. ALTA is so different than Colours of Air and Sails Pts 1 & 2, and it’s a pleasure to hear the max patch in motion.

about

A 40+ minute render of ALTA, a generative music piece originally part of an audiovisual installation at the Libby Leshgold Gallery on the Emily Carr University campus in Vancouver BC, in March 2023. The installation was designed as a 4-channel piece of endless music. Presented here in stereo, it can be thought of as a long exposure capture of the otherwise continuous music from the installation.

ALTA is an addition to the ADRIFT series of generative music pieces named after abandoned sea vessels. Originally released in 2015 as a mobile application, and redesigned as a Max patch for the installation, ALTA/ADRIFT uses structured random selection, mixing and panning to weave together the sonic phrases and layers.

The MV Alta was abandoned at sea and set adrift in 2018 near Bermuda, eventually reaching the shores of Ireland in 2020 where she remains shipwrecked.

Special thanks to Vanessa Kwan, curator at the Libby Leshgold Gallery.
