Cinema Volta: Daily Ambience

Here's yet another version of the same material. I'm starting to get an idea from this raw material. You'll hear it as it unfolds. 2005-04-01

Here's the accumulated mix of the arrangements from the past six days. 2005-04-02

Started back in on this one from the 15th of last month. Let's see if you can guess what's different. 2005-04-03

No posts for at least a week due to a death in the family

For my father, Max Edward Hobbs, November 20, 1931 - April 3, 2005. 2005-04-19

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

I took yesterday's track and made it a bit denser. 2005-04-20

A little mystery dub. 2005-04-21

Stripping it down. 2005-04-22

After yesterday's track, I got an idea and went back and stripped down the Retina soundtrack in a similar fashion. Interestingly enough, this stripped down track was far more taxing on my computer than the original. 2005-04-23

Here's a blues in A: 2005-04-24

Modification of yesterday's to make it a bit fluffier. 2005-04-25

I'm having a strange interlude . . . . 2005-04-26

A meditation. 2005-04-27

Expanding on yesterday's track. 2005-04-28

By the way, with yesterday's release, we've hit the 20% mark. Yesterday's piece was #73.

Perhaps now is a good time to consider a donation via PayPal or Amazon. You can contribute as little as a dollar or one Euro:

I liked yesterday's tune, so I made it twice as long, and twice as slow. 2005-04-29

I've taken yesterday's track and made it a bit blurrier. I've also converted to Just Intonation. 2005-04-30

It took three programs to get it this way: Garage Band, Logic Express and Cubase SX 3. I wish I could combine all the features into one program.
