Here comes a new release by me on Petcord called Frontal Grid. Well, I wrote every now and then about my progress and how the finished release is supposed to sound like. For a change, I quite met my criteria and improved dynamics and the degree of abstraction. As a side effect, the music is more consistent concerning how it treats themes and spins their development further. But I unlike my previous plans, Frontal Grid again comprises of four movements which are more related to each other than those of Decay.

What will follow after Frontal Grid? More work, of course :-). There are some ideas I like to investigate more thoroughly, like ways of incorporating “natural instruments” into the computer generated mess I produce. I guess, this can only work like treating the source like any other. Not playing some voices by score, but instead reconstruct passages from unrelated snippets. Perhaps deliberately creating anomalies that could not be reproduced with a live player. The first movement of Frontal Grid is such an example, where I recycled several piano snippets.

We shall see…
