Jeff D​ü​ngfelder - Algebra applies to the clouds

about

I was drawn to the mathematical precision of the sample “Calculating Machine”, using it as the foundation for my reimagined composition “Algebra applies to the clouds”. I pictured the disappearing sound floating away into into the clouds as they reflect in a calm lake. A fitting farewell to a soon to be extinct sound. The sound may no longer be common in todays urban world, but it goes on to live another life somewhere, somehow. Composing the layered tracks, I used mathematical patterns, created in the moment, that opened up the possibility of chance to hopefully capture the beauty of this calculated randomness . Like all of my music, this was a sound experiment without preconceived intentions. It can also be looped to create a soundtrack for ones imagination. Close your eyes, listen and float away.
