Luftschloss, Nature by numbers

  

Self-Propelled Particles

...is built around the conceptual framework of the swarming behaviours of birds, reflected sonically 

in the track through the panning effects and small particles of electronic data Luftschloss employs. 

This approach creates a sense of reciprocated movement in which each of the sounds appear to 

influence one another in the path they follow, resulting in a “swarming” effect. With such subject matter,

Hitchcock’s Birds may come to mind, but Luftschloss’ moods here are anything but menacing. 

Where Hitchcock used birds to terrorize, the birds of “Self-Propelled Particles” are conversely of 

inviting celestial fascination. - Analog Sermon

Fairytale Tree

...The main Idea of "Fairytale Tree" came from the mathematically Perspective of how Trees and Plants grow. 

The Algorithmic Beauty. Fractals. 

I tried to generate that kind of growth with the different Arpeggios that come together building up 

the track. The broken Beat structure should effect a re and regenerating, but in interaction 

with the progressive Plucks an also forthcoming feeling of Growth.

Torus

For "Torus" I tried to program constantly randomizing notes, which more and more lead together 

to a regenerating noisy stream in which everything comes together. I wanted to create a big Energyflow 

(Mainly with Crystallizing and Distorting all those notes and the River Field Recording i did in Dresden, 

and adding Stringlayers + Bass) that finally leaves you with beat, where then even more random notes come in.. 

regenerating again, and again, and again. The track should be repeating endless perhaps to fit with 

the concept of the surrounding Field of a Torus...
