Notes – December 2005:
Cloud Chamber is the first completed track of a suite of instrumentals, a side-project which I have tentatively dubbed “Maxwell Tangent’s Divergent Thinking”. Musically it’s ambient, techno, loop-based instrumental music with plenty of guitars and processed natural sounds. But it’s early days, it could end up going in a different direction. I hope to have each track segue seamlessly into the next one in order to make one long piece of music. So far the tracks are being written in reverse order, because Cloud Chamber is the final movement.
I was working on this track on the later half of 2001, and therefore I’ve dedicated it to the victims of the World Trade Center attack in September 2001.
Equipment:
- Carvin TL60 (electric guitars)
- Godin Multiac Nylon (classical guitar)
- Chapman Stick (bass)
- Korg TR-Rack (synth pad “Dragon’s World”; source of some drum hits for the loops)
- Alesis D4 (source of drum hits for loops)
- Korg M1 (Bells; Piano; Strings; odd percussion hits)
