Deru - The Ash

We Will Live On was made with a Disklavier (an acoustic piano outfitted with solenoids that allowed it to be digitally controlled) and custom made software to sequence it. This made the piano appear to play itself. Technology seemingly embedded with humanity. Written with the backdrop of news about the worsening climate crisis and pandemic isolation, made themes of legacy, loneliness, helplessness, love and hope emerge. The title, We Will Live On, is meant as a question. Will we? And if so, in what way? Will this outlive me? Will technology outlive all of us? Beauty in the face of fear. Art to fill the void. The piano playing in an empty room. The piano man nowhere to be found. A piano under digital control opens up new playing styles, idiosyncratic to the computer itself. Phasing, density and tempo are aspects that can be explored past human playability. Music that feels both analog and digital. The sequencer is based on geometries inside a circle. Six shapes with various numbers of sides fill a circle. A dot rotates around the circle, and as it intersects a shape a note is triggered. The note can be any pitch, duration and velocity. It can be delayed or played multiple times. The lengths of the sides of each shape can be skewed, along with their spacing to one another, thereby altering the rhythms. All of these states can be saved as presets, and morphing in-between presets allows the piano to smoothly fall out of one pattern and into another. Because these patterns are based on geometries and not equal divisions of a measure, they are not metric, like most of western music. The result are patterns that have structure and groove, yet sound somehow other. Because the sequencer can morph presets, the patterns are malleable between states of order and disarray, which become another compositional aspect to explore. The cover photo is of a subterranean fortress designed to house a V3 giant cannon, known as the 'last hope' weapon. It is now a memorial for peace. #WeWillLiveOn Stream/Download: https://fofmusic.lnk.to/WeWillLiveOn Follow Deru: Facebook:   / deru.music   Instagram:   / deru   Twitter:   / _deru   Bandcamp: https://deru.bandcamp.com Soundcloud:   / deru   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4Golr...
