\"[play]\"\/Blakes 9<\/a> (2008-9)<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on this piece for over a year and it’s time to say it’s done.<\/p>\n

The inspiration to start this piece came from two sources. One was that I watched the TV show Blakes 7<\/i> and thought it had great incidental music. And the other was that I briefly dated a poet who had a thing for the number 9.<\/p>\n

I recorded a loop of synthesized sounds that seemed to go with the sounds on the show, and then I came up with a cutup algorithm that broke it into pieces based on a 9-feeling. But that wasn’t enough, so I added in some glitching. But that wasn’t enough, so I added in another section, and so it grew in an ungainly way, until it filled 80 speakers and was premiered as an N-channel piece at a BEAST concert at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham in June 2009.<\/p>\n

Then I spent the summer mixing it down to 2 channels, while trying to prevent it from getting muddy. I won’t lie, it sounds better with more channels, but the stereo version is ok. If you have a subwoofer, it’s even better.<\/p>\n

If you happen to have a speaker array of 8 channels or, really, any number of channels and you think you might want to present this piece, please contact me.<\/p>\n
