Holoapostatischer Frühsperling

A follow up to the straight psychedelic headfuck techno on
Helicon1 {retort records; RET08, May 22, 2014}, Helicon2 draws its
references
mostly from 90s big beat, hip-hop and trance, with some occasional
excursions
to 80s R'n'B.

The album is mostly a synthesis of the experimental composition
and processing techniques started for the Aero album and the playful,
melody-centric voice leading found in the lazer.eyes.love album.

The Helicon series explores the bodysound relationship.
While contextually rooted in club music, compositionally all songs are
based around various techniques to interact with sound in real-time.
The series is, quasi, my playground to explore and discover
new methods while the "club music" & real-time control
impose contraints and limitations on the compositional form.
Helicon1 approached this search more conventionally with
hardware modular synth patches generating multi-track audio and simple
patch
parameterizations that are controlled for the recording. Helicon2
forgoes this
and instead shifted towards more broadband and high-frequency control data
based on accelerometer sensors/multi-touch input/... to control DSP.
Afterwards, cross-modulation techniques have been employed,
even for the mix-down, to give the compositional elements the opportunity
to interact or react, thus extending the organic flow of the composition.
