Long-form synthesizer wizardry courtesy of local (and Stanford alum) electronic composer and instrument tinkerer The All Electric Smart Grid. Ever-morphing sculptural pieces with layered phrases and patterns. Intricate and expansive. Jammed out on a custom synthesizer and accompanied by a bit of fantastical lore to get you in the mood: “a wizard summons nine Elemental Spirits to perform the Minimal Ritual before time runs out.”
Fits perfectly alongside minimal greats like Philip Glass and Steve Reich and also new-school high-elevation synthesizer explorations by the likes of Red Electric Rainbow, Cruise Family, Konntinent, Lunar Miasma etc. All tracks instrumental. Check it out!
1. (12:02) Midtempo gyrating layers. Halfway through smooth ambient washes flow through the mix and add a really nice glow
2. (9:42) Energetic, fluttering, quipping. Fast scales and lots of movement
3. (11:20) Distinctly aqueous—fluttery and awash with cool-temperatured pulses. Probably my favorite of the bunch
4. (23:38) An epic, expansive slow burner. Quiet intro, suspenseful crescendos, an air of finality
