The Centre Cannot Hold (Sound Iron Mix)

…the “Sound Iron” edit, featuring predominately sampled instrumentation from the excellent Soundiron libraries (including the libraries noted below), is a hybrid of non-traditional, acoustic instrumentation (sampled Washing Machines, incandescent lightbulbs, hemp twine, etc.) played with an electronic, (rhythmic) feel that produces a unique atmosphere for this track. Vocals are provided by Avanna and the Olympus Micro Choir; lyrics are from the Yeats poem “The Second Coming”

Soundiron - Laundronium (2 instances)
Soundiron - Anti-Drum Vol 1

A chaotic piece with a repeating, modulated, gritty synth sequence/drums, with calm chords/bass underneath. Conveys an atmosphere of stability in the midst of a harsh, changing background…

Hinterland
A slow, elegiac piece with a slight hopeful quality. The initial version contains an atmospheric opening with processed piano and strings in the latter part; the alternative version (Piano & Strings) contains the unprocessed latter part with only the Piano & Strings (perhaps if you are more a “purist” for this sort of thing).
Really a reflection on the transition between life and what lies beyond (the “Hinterland” that lays just beyond what we know to be certain…). Dedicated to those who have made that journey.

(Controlled) chaos reigns supreme in this piece, which started life as a pattern in Stochastik Drum Machine (iOS). Moving to Ableton, further elements of randomness were added, with several chaotic patches from Reaktor as well as a “stable”,  repeating figure courtesy of AAS’s Chromaphone.  Processed rhythmic cameos from the Nord Drum and Ableton Live 8 serve as variations on the original drum pattern.

The result has a rhythmic, dubby, subterranean feel - enhanced (perhaps blatantly!) with judicious use of delay and reverberation.

What was it that the Joker said in “The Dark Knight” - Introduce a little anarchy…  :-)
