"Susansides"

Carefully produced with every aspect designed specifically for Susan Hooper's personal history and tastes.


Overall structure is seven repeats of a long dark hard-core synth minor Ostinato phrase chord progression, where last bar of each repeat warps back through a tempo corrected free-form pitch-bend. Chord movement represents two steps forward one step back. Complex forms are carefully assembled but then collapse, repeated with increasingly intensity over full song story. Step-wise progress then setback, and threes, are present at multiple structural, melodic and bass levels. Bassline is intended as hot electro-goth dance club playable (evolved from "Systematic Breakdown" sample). Underlying clickities represent rigid logic, sinuous elements represent feminine motion. Stream of consciousness flashes of circus, carnival, freakshow, fire and more. Consciously applies some current elements of interest including the "Amen" pattern, percussion melodies and atonality, beatmatched absurdism, longer form and more. Best loud on excellent headphones. By Andrew Bedno, took ~20hrs. 130bpm 7:26
