about

The third Glass Temple session was recorded on the same date as the second - amidst a flurry of new recordings made on December 13th 2021 - with the Arturia Microfreak algorithmic synthesizer, and even fewer peripheral tools than the prior two volumes. This third session runs over five hours in length, and what you hear is the synthesizer's generative organ patch (or "Genergan" as I have affectionately labeled these patches in the machine) augmented only by a delay chain of only three panned repeats.

The quiet minimalism of the piece recalls the understated nature of the first volume, while managing to elongate it and reduce it even further into a new macroverse of melancholy. I am continually impressed by the sonic range and versatility of the Microfreak, especially when it sits alongside my modular system and still functionally explores many of the same impulses and tangents with no fuss at all.

Glass Temple III would potentially be best experienced on open-air speakers (although headphone listening will still be sufficient) in order to maximize the coloration of your physical space with these somnolent tones that slowly waver like the warmth of sunlight painting the wall. I find these unraveling and reweaving types of patches perfect for reading accompaniment in particular, as the recurrent crops of tension and their subsequent chromatic resolution lend themselves well to the peaks and valleys of a deeply immersive narrative thread.
