# music 2003-2005
[also on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAGaRke4s4yp_0muNEHkI6A/videos)

old experiments for learning about subtractive synthesis made from 2003 to 2005.

the songs are in many cases set up so that they reveal more the higher the volume - like having to listen closely - but as a consequence the more so distracting becomes the general forest.
today i still find the rawness of the sounds unusual. each song should have something the others have not. the tracks should have a relatively wide dynamic range, some polyrhythms, hidden detail and mostly self-created, synthesized instruments (based on mathematical formulas instead of pieces of recorded sound).

# notes
## first album
first musical tries.
the first three tracks are a concept on creative process: conception: "session", work: "build up", and "use".
it is different from the following albums in the structure of tracks and that it uses pre-recorded bits of sound primarily.
i would recommend to listen from start to end, as i think it can be rewarding, and it is only 1.3 kiloseconds long

* build up: all sounds synthesized. notes are incomplete and are gradually increasing in length and distinction, hitting hammers and metallic clattering

## second and third album
perhaps the least interesting in the series, except for the included four-song harsher noise collection "3.5".
* extension and the extended: here tempo is constantly stretching and condensing. the hi-frequency noise has different envelope-release times per note. the melodic instrument has gating applied to cut the sound off at various lengths in various intervals. the background synthesizer has quite its own liveliness
* get me phoenix: rhythmical hat modulation
* mood 2: dissonant part at the end
* schlachters spieluhr: culture critical track called "butchers music box". all sounds synthesized

## fourth album
* 5f3: switching filter types. only synthesized sounds
* kalo: no guitar involved. only synthesized sounds

## fifth album
tracks that had not been included in other albums

* whitesea: low-key and subtle. experimented with a strongly pitch changing sound. supposed to sound like ocean and misty distances. regrettable pitch-modulated sound. only synthesized sounds
* atekkbase: switching between oscillator wave patterns
* silverglanc: slowly progressing layering with switching sound routes between different effect channels
* tdt: a prototype
* teufelsbluhend: had to hit and keep holding a lot of keys at once in this one
* kalo hyellow: sounded "yellower" than the version on "4 prosper"
* himmelmörder: a green meadow on a warm and bright summer day
* flier: i always liked the intro of this one, though it never got completed
* 0range beat: made a significant editing mistake here and lost the source
* fun3000: this is what it can sound like to use a different synthesizer
* halco: slow with deep bass sounds. all sounds synthetic
* non-specific acoustic stimulation: quite non-specific
