Album Notes

Spring Loops

Hello. Here is Spring Loops. There are five tracks each with three adventures into loop harmony.

Here are some statistics from Spring Loops...

Track 1
X/Y/Z:LCM
Adventure 1 4.5/30/40:360
Adventure 2 12/32/27:864
Adventure 3 16/22.5/16.5:7920

Track 2
Adventure 1 18/18/42:126
and so forth...

The units are beats of music. X Y Z represent the loops of differing length. X Y and Z are combined and it is the LCM, the least common multiple, that represents the entire cycle length of the overall looping adventure. Some don't complete a full cycle even on this recording.

All we should take from this is the fact that we are combining loops of different lengths in a musical way. And it will be increasingly more interesting as we use loop lengths that are not just simple factors of each other.

Birds In The Air Too

This serves as the bonus track to Spring Loops. It includes several improvised loop harmony events that pay no particular attention to rhythmical exactness. The rhythm is loose. The events are faded in and out within this 19 minute track. But most importantly we recorded along with the birds in our backyard. Please enjoy. Thanks for your time.

total length is 43 minutes
