I can't quite believe it! This is the tenth album in the Twilight Sessions series!
What started out as an experiment improvising in very long loops has reached double figures!
The music on this album was recorded in October and November 2011.
Each piece starts as a blank canvas.
I have an evolving set of preselected sounds on the computer - maybe a dozen or so - altered pianos, lush strings and synths. I make this sounds flexible so I can change them as I play. As well as these, I can add notes from various real, usually heavily processed instruments, such as flute, fretless bass, baritone guitar and voice.
The music is played into a long, slowly decaying loop.
These loops are quite long (often around 90 seconds or more) and with very little rhythm to speak of, it is difficult to know precisely where I am in the loop, so I can add notes and sounds where I see fit, but can never know exactly what I am adding these notes to. Therefore, it must be said that although I am the one making these sounds and creating this music, much of it is down to serendipity.
