Ashes to Ashes

composed by Johannes Luebbers

This track features some great Max/MSP programming from Stuart James. The opening flute solo was improvised by Emily Thomas within a specified pitch set. The solo was then cut up and layered on itself using the patch Stuart wrote, eventually forming a synthesized chord that is sustained beneath the rest of the track. It modulates along the way to move with the changing harmony.

Tenor solo is Sean Little and the drum solo at the end is Ben Falle.
