This is the fifth excerpt from my Ostraka performance, “Postfauxpocalyse,” on October 24, 2013 at Popup Northrop. It was recorded directly from a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro to a Sony PCM-D50 at 48kHz/24bit. Again the instruments used were a DSI Tempest, Korg Volca Keys, Korg Monotribe, and Memory Man analog delay. This is my favorite of the series so far because, although improvised, it feels the most compositional.
I’m liking all the excerpts from the event so far – I hear what you are saying about composition in this piece.
Thanks, Paula. I should disclose that part of what made this piece more compositional was editing. Although the editing was minimal I did pull some large chunks of time out of it for the sake of keeping it short. As a result the piece sounds a little bit more composed than it did when I performed it.
