Luminous Trilogy - Part 2

"Breath" is the escape from the loud neon lit alt-reality in Luminous Trilogy Part 1. The destination, an imaginary utopia where electric medusae coil, flicker and turn hovering over a calm brooding seascape accompanied by dark resonant melodic drones and Indian tabla. It is a nod to Stålenhag and co.

Music Equipment Details:
Breath originated from a live performance VCV Rack synthesis patch in which the binaural recording of a huge Valencian firework display is fed into Mutable Instrument's "Rings" modal resonator synthesizers. This is layered with Indian Tabla loops and then triggered in a round-robin fashion. It is performed using a standard MIDI controller.

The VCV patch and instructions comes with The Luminous Trilogy album (see link below)

The VCV patch consists of 5 mix layers + 3 control layers:

-Live mix using CME 3X Bitstearm MIDI controller
Fader 1 - Binaural Mascleta pitched down 2 octaves (recorded in Valencia 2018)
Fader 2 - Mascleta through VCV stereo Resonators.
Fader 3 - 8 bit Static
Fader 4 - Binaural sea surf (recorded in Cambrills 2023)
Fader 5 - 6 Tabla loops (recorded in 2023)
Knob 1 - Resonator tuning deviation (this creates the melody)
Knob2 - Arpeggio speed (how fast notes change)
Knob 3 - Amount of pitch deviation
Knob 4 - Eventide H3000 pitch shift amount.
