142 – Ether

This is something that uses the stretch techniques, but in a different way. This time a number of small files (10 secs) were generated in Reaktor. They have then been stretched to a couple of minutes each and layered along the timeline. A heavy dollop of reverb was then used to blend things to create a ‘normal’ length piece of around five minutes.

This track has an ethereal feel to it. To me, it’s like the haunting sound of some long forgotten cathedral voices suddenly found and bound together. I hope you like it?

The netbook did not cope, so this was completed on my son’s PC. Now, if only I could persuade him to play with Live and Reaktor instead of watching DVDs!
