Love in the Time of​.​.​. ft. "Norman on Sax"

by Drift Diffusion

/

about

This song was recorded at Fort Greene Bar in Denver, Colorado as part of Freq Boutique 067.

This song was inspired by many conversations with Norman about synthesis and jazz over the past few years. When we figured out Norman would be in Denver and we could perform at Freq Boutique, Norman and I jumped into planning a piece taking advantage of natural instruments and extensive use of granular synthesis. The primary sound sources are prepared guitar and piano samples and Norman's live saxophone. Given our distance, we planned via conversations choosing a key, mode, and picking reference points and performed with minimal practicing. We are both proud of the result and hope you enjoy!

Special thanks to Alex Anderson for continuing to host Freq Boutique, David Soto for fostering a the Colorado Modular Synth Society community, Fran and Gia for changing travel plans to see us perform, and Alex Hamm for graciously allowing us to use her art.
