Stream represents a series of experiments all done synthetically
with a script based software synth. a 'stream' is a software
term that describes a series of processed (or "dumped")
elements registered into an index to define an order and
sequence.. all of the tracks use my script that pulls arbitrary
clips from his library of songs (some even from "frame"
and "optimal") and into a software step-sequencer.
Some of these are only half a second in length, but are
used in rhythmic patterns. Others are pitched wildly to
form pad sounds. When completed, the tracks become a glitchy,
almost dirty highly re-sampled collage. Playing up any internal
fuzz or clicks that occur naturally in the software, these
are the basis that support the compositions. Some are techno,
other ambient. Some play with overlapping tempos and time
(A Shell, Academic) others are very repetitive (The Theory,
Monsters). The track titles humanize it all a bit, attempting
to stray away from the common style convention. These are
very natural, they are not some strange technological niche.
