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”

The Centre Cannot Hold (Calm Seas Mix)
…the “Calm Seas” edit retains only the less chaotic elements of the original mix and adds ethereal female vocals (Courtesy Avanna).

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…

Some follow-up from the Celemony “Living Drums” contest…here I explain how Melodyne was used to create variations on the drum patterns (both MIDI and Audio)…

Thanks again to Celemony for featuring “Cave of Fallen Angels” on their landing page…the more I incorporate the iPad into my production workflow, the more indispensable Melodyne becomes in my studio.
(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… :-)
