Granular Electric Guitar

Each track is a solo guitar performance that has been completely transformed through a granular synthesis algorithm that I built in Reaper (primarily utilizing Omnisphere). You will find that the algorithm I built has allowed for quite a wide range of timbres and textures. Some tracks feature the mechanics of the guitar coming through more overtly, while others pretty much obscure any clear aspect of the original guitar sound. As technical as it was to setup initially, once it was established, the algorithm was very inspiring and the tracks just rolled out of me (thus the rather high track count). The mood for this release shifts around through meditative ambient to dense shoegaze and even playful rhythmical experimentation. There is an arc / journey of emotion that one can experience if you listen from beginning to end. The album ended up being fairly cinematic, overall. Recorded, mixed and mastered at 24 bit / 96 kHz for your high resolution pleasure.
