In this, when these 'vectors' appeared, I used then 'quantized' them into a half-dozen discrete colours and drew them in on a new layer by hand. That final layer was the score. At least one of the other scores has arbitrary choices, based on an impression of the underlying land usage (field, forest, hills et.c.)
ah now i understand (at least i think i do)
either way as shamann says tis a great track. nice interweaving of the different tones, bleak yet somehow beautiful.
look forward to the series in full.
will they just be chernobyl vectors for now(for the study i mean) or will there be other places involved?

Hmmm... I'm worried. I found myself nodding my head in time with it at around 5:40 having not even realised how rhythmic it had become; it almost gained 'form' for a moment. Love the slow progress into the harsher territories.

seems reasonable; they're going in my MSc dissertation anyways might as well make them more public.shamann wrote:Perhaps when the project is complete, will there be a public unveiling of the maps used and the instructions on how to read them?

I liked it. haven't heard anything like that in quite some time. I liked the simplicity, overall. It comes across well, dystopian, but elegant.
Closest I've done would be when I was on a album ages ago playing brushed snare whilst a guy did a kind of 'concrete' thing with samples of badly tuned radio, and a lady played electric violin over the top. It was very over the top actually..
It does put me in mind of that old gag:
Why shouldn't you wear Russian underpants?
Chernobyl Fallout.

so many things to say about this, Sean,
soundwise at start it has the beautiful enchainting atmosphere of the Tarkovski film "Stalker"
then though like at about 4:30 produce a "scaring fence" effect, like something electrified at high voltage,
the elvolution of the composition is "polution",
and basically is a mono dimensional drone with radioactive halo effects, this fits nicely with me to the Cherobyl obsession,
good work!

Thanks for the most recent bout of comments...
Funnily enough, Liqih, the computer game 'Stalker', is probably what put me in mind of Chernobyl in the first place, and both the film, and Roadside Picnic, the original novel, are both favourites of mine. If i could ever produce something even a tenth as hauntingly wonderful as Tarksovsiy's film, I'd be a happy man indeed. Merci.
