about

The fourth White Alice session with the Roland Juno 106 polyphonic synthesizer was recorded on the evening of August 5th, 2021 - just over a year ago, as of this publication - and it seems to resume directly from where the drifty White Alice III left off. In the time since White Alice III, there has also been a triple-album set of Variations, issued adjacent to the Vibra catalog (see MMD062: milieumusic.bandcamp.com/album/white-alice-variations ), which focused more on various methods of digital/tape degradation in order to 'weather' the otherwise pristine clarity of the Juno, and in this sense, White Alice IV takes aspects of that process into account here also.

Session IV uses a hand-played sequence of chords and melodious lead lines as a looping base, facilitated via the Arturia Keystep Pro, and from there the passages are slowly accumulated upon themselves via the R-EW Audioholistics system, which utilized probabilistic granular samplers and multi-head delay devices to create a pleasantly disorienting fugue-like landscape. Perhaps, a little less moody than White Alice III, session IV feels brighter, hopeful and optimistic, and this feeling is something I would like to focus on with the publication of White Alice IV. White Alice has been lost at sea for some time now, and here, it returns to the continent, a bit more world-weary, but happy to come back home to this sun-kissed valley.
