Don't Tell Them What We Are Doing (2nd Nova Express project "trailer") by Cork City Gamelan published on 2014-06-02T13:24:29Z Update: the complete piece of music is now finished: https://soundcloud.com/corkcitygamelan/pay-back-your-stolen-colours-1 My second sampler for a more substantial composition based on notions and ideas which came to me while reading Nova Express off and on for some decades. I am making the piece entirely from sounds built by re-arranging and manipulating small fragments ("grains") of voice recordings of some of the text of the book. This is called Granular Synthesis. I am extending the technique of Granular Synthesis by using the smallest grains as complex wave shapes in wave tables. I call them "Grainwaves", and I can use them to make beats, drones and musical motifs. In isolation, these very short grains can only be perceived as clicks. the text: Copyright © 1964 by William S.
