Music of the Spheres…..

by Stokes-Herbst on March 2, 2011

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Particle physics and music-how CAN you interpret ‘particles performance’ into music that conveys accurately or non accurately, their status and movement? What an ask! Still I like having a go……

Do other complex worlds just as complex as our own exist in other dimensions co-existing alongside us and can we capture the nuances of these parallel Universes??  They have been postulated to exist by a few scientists, and if that is so, can we pick up their harmonies??

According to physics, the Sub-Atomic World is so complex they call it ‘Exotic’ because of the complexity, beauty, and non-conformance to standard equations.  They are having to build a new mathematical language and ‘archtiecture’ to understand the workings.  What would the music of these ‘worlds’ sound like if they exist?  Scientists say there are 11 to 13 dimensions known to exist-how do these sound?  How does the music of ‘paralell dimensions’ interact with our music?  Interesting question.  Currently, I am writing pieces for an Electronic EP, and the current piece takes a regular but beautiful ‘Glass Bells’ sounds, with other sound creating harmonies.  Then, there are sounds created by mashing pianos that sounds like particles ‘spinning off’ at speed.

This is only a light ‘go’ at this time as there are various other idea’s also claiming thinking time…..

Listen to some music at:

Cheers………….

Cliff Richard and itunes release?

by Stokes-Herbst on February 18, 2011

in Electronic Music, General, Music

It was with surprise that I learned of the release a Christmas compilation album called ‘an offbeat and unusual Christmas’ which contained ‘Christmas in Narnia’-a piece that I wrote some time ago, but that has been well received wherever it is played.

Although not my current Genre, ‘Christmas in Narnia’ is an Electronic/Orchestral piece which takes you into the snow covered forest-deeper and deeper-until as some see it, the queen of Narnia appears on the sleigh and disappears further into the forest…….

The strings and piano with a bell like effect, bring a lovely quality which immediately tells of Christmas, snow and forests-perhaps as in Scandinavian forests……you will hear it on www.itunes.com/paulstokes

X-Factor or Quirk-Factor!?

by Stokes-Herbst on October 24, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi,

Is this turning into a ‘quirk show’ and destroying the serious aspect?  I’m near to becoming disillusioned with the public vote and Lois Walsh‘s staged show!   I think it might demonstrate the better path of coming up through the ranks-old style proving ground.  Michael Buble is on the way up……..Matt Cardle demonstrates the genuine!?  The x-factor fade……….(I think this weeks performances were the best possibly of all x-factors)

Electronic EP has grown!

by Stokes-Herbst on October 12, 2010

in Electronic Music, General, Music

Hi All,

In my latest attempts at writing the latest Electronic track have caused me to add a bass line where there was none.  I had a brilliant drum feel to the track and thought I not need to add a bass line-so deep the ground shook–I now have to try it after experimenting!  Then come the effects bending……thought I was up to the mastering stage!!

Cheers……….Paul

Hols over…………….?

by Stokes-Herbst on October 2, 2010

in General

Hi All,

I return refreshed and ‘eager to go’ from hols in Scotland, also having dined on a Haggis caught in the hills….?  We had a Stag wander nonchalantly through the garden in front of the car coming up the drive!  Its a new season and a bit of software needs to be purchased to keep up to date-Wavelab 7 for the Mac, and an update to Native Instruments Komplete 6 to 7.  Also got to do final mix on Electronic piece…..at last!…..and start to next work on the EP.  Looking forward to the new sounds from Komplete 7 set of synthesizers…..this will help with my obsession of the particles…..and getting them into music….?

Cheers

Music Break!?

by Stokes-Herbst on August 19, 2010

in Electronic Music, Music

Hi All,

Mad summer thinking is here!  Everybody goes on holiday…..and stops work or other….I’ve had a break doing house stuff-painting, repaired house etc.

Looking forward to Autumn-had one or two musical ideas and recorded them on handheld tape.  Continuing with Electronic EP-have to alter some of the mixes when I get back to studio……working on third work today-few bars of drum sounds.  Maybe the recent Perseid meteor showers will inspire some ideas, although the tracks for the EP are essentially Astro-Physics and Particle Physics related.

Looking forward to more results from the Large Hadron Colider to get yet more inspiration………..!

Cheers
