When you have each track individually numbered (viola 1, viola 2, viola 3 etc) you know that these performances made up the ensemble sections. You'll find easy access into the blend of the different instruments, the "divisi" parts within sections, and all the insights to be derived from their "movements in space".Īmong the many tracks there are three types: Individual, Section, and Ensemble. You can also zoom out into the "section" tracks to hear how everything fits together, how sections have to make room for each other, and how decisions have been made for everything to speak in the way that is most musically satisfying. With all these tracks at your disposal, you get to go as deeply as you want into the part writing. This time it's more about natural musical things like performance nuances and the overall arrangement rationale. In this third installment of Musica Practica I am decidedly not putting the emphasis on production process. Lately more and more good listeners with good memories have been reminding me that the Geek Pack idea offers a nice opportunity to "make good" on that ancient promise/threat. They ask because in the liner notes to that album, anyone who thought this music was "sampled" and not performed by musicians had been promised (threatened?) with me filling up their hard drive with billions of raw files.Ĭirca 2005 it wasn't really the most 'actionable' thing, and was a bit sardonic, but I've found that people took the meaning correctly. It's been a decade and a half now that people have been asking me for raw tracks for this and other Book of Horizons songs. But first let's just get the Geek Pack out there for the tail end of Bandcamp Friday.
Inspired by working on this Geek Pack, I DEFINITELY have a few new mixes of this song coming. It was your requests that brought this one here. Welcome to the third installment of Secret Chiefs 3 "Musica Practica"!
