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.

Instruments:

• Lead and rhythm gutar: Carvin TL60
• Classic fingerpicked guitar: Godin Multiac Nylon
• Bass: Chapman Stick
• Synth pads and piano: Korg TR-Rack
• Drum loops created with samples from the Korg TR-Rack
• Incidental percussion and bells: Korg M1
