about

Over fifty catalog entries later, Burnt Atlas returns with a third iteration. Revisiting the same source sound and process as before, Burnt Atlas III consists of a generative arrangement of incommensurable loops, using three sinewaves each playing a Bb major scale, which originated within the ByteBeat DAW in the No Man's Sky video game, and were multitracked on a dictation-grade cassette tape (repurposed from a church sermon recording) on the Vesta Fire MR-10B four-track tape machine, with the dbx noise reduction applied to soften and filter any edges in the sound. From there, the tape was played back at a slower IPS into the R-EW Audioholistics modular system, where it was sampled in a granular processor with a continuous eight-second buffer, probabilistically mined for tonal and timing variance. The subsequent mix was recorded back into the computer via Goldwave, and final-glossed there.

Texturally, Burnt Atlas III is less tape-saturated than the first two volumes, despite the same tape machine being employed in all three sessions, and recalls aspects of Synergy's 'Computer Experiments Volume One' album from 1981, which was an early piece of electronic music I was exposed to prior to Milieu existing. Chordal shapes are in constant flux, and although the piece is melodic, it is almost completely serial, making it difficult to latch onto, and rendering it almost forcibly ambient.

This session is perhaps better suited to waking relaxation, such as studying or reading, or working on other tasks, rather than sleeping music. It possesses a brightness that feels both warm and synthetic at the same time, and was designed (initially) to be more or less a set of digital windchimes to leave running 24/7 on my capital ship in NMS.
