about

"A Distant Reflection" is the 10th in my series of long form Ambient/Experimental works which started in the beginning of 2020.

This track started out with just the sound of two drinking glasses being tapped together in various ways recorded with my Zoom portable recorder about two weeks ago.

This week I imported the recordings into Ableton and with some editing made some rhythmical elements from the sounds, further manipulations of the sound resulted in some inspirations with my prophet Rev2, creating some atmospheric pads/drones that shift in key forming a foundation for some improvised synth work using my Supernova II, The Korg MS20 Mini, The Moog Grandmother. Multi-tracking these synths a couple of times to build up a rich sonic canvas. One other sound recording from my zoom was also added, a rather mundane domestic chore that was manipulated a little to hide the source but to add some mystery..

The basis of the track was composed in one evening.

The following night I retuned and added some subtle yet improvised piano keys courtesy of the Native Instruments Maverick Grand Piano instrument.

The final challenge was to make this work as a long form piece.

I arranged and mixed and mastered it the following day.

I hope this latest composition gives you as much joy and calm to
listen to it as it did for me while working on it.
