The Endless Change Of Colour

by Marsen Jules

supported by

Tuukka Junnikkala A truly fascinating and captivating generative piece which is ever-changing and ever-shifting, constantly offering the listener new things to experience and discover. Based on repeating patterns but continuously evolving before the listener, the music transports the mind to a truly timeless place where the soundscape keeps shifting around the listener and true love for sound can be experienced.

about

In our, boxed, on-demand world where accessibility and recallability rule we can often forget the importance of the unpredictable or the joy of true discovery. Our lives are increasingly shaped by systems and patterns; downloaded, linked, and stored, that help us live, tell us when to go outside and what we will find when we get there. The mystery of our every day slowly seeps out of our lives like photograph bled of its color by the sun. There are fewer questions and too many answers.

The Endless Change Of Colour exists somewhere between our future and the mistakes and accidents we’ve made along the way. It is a celebration of both the system and the unexpected. Marsen Jules’ latest work is a generative music piece upon a single phrase of an old jazz record split into three audio streams. These streams are transformed into loops which break the original instrumentation down into sound resembling pure waves, harmonics and overtones.These loops play to different time signatures to create phasing patterns that continuously move and dance around each other in a constantly-evolving lattice of sound. Despite it being based on a very strict and limited set of rules the music could, in theory, be endless and ever-changing.

Here, the listener’s discovery is a quiet and engaged one. Ripples and pulses set within a field of color that sometimes feels like water, sometimes like air and sometimes like glass. Electronic tones hum with warmth and the softness of slumber. The patterns are there, familiar to our modern ears, but they’re not always what they seem. The wandering mind steers this one along more than the generative grid on which it was based and The Endless Change Of Colour becomes exactly as its title suggests.

Mount Carmel

Michael Grigoni's 'Mount Carmel' is the best thing to happen to lap / pedal steel based music in a while. Such attention to detail in every note, not a sound is wasted. Alive and energizing yet meditative and somber all at the same time. Lost Tribe Sound

When I first heard "Seiche" I was riveted; such an epic, transcendent work. And its impact endures, especially complemented by the other tactile, soulful pieces here. Call me happily broken. ajpoet

Very expressive. This album is finely crafted with a nice amount of detail but does not overwhelm with too many layers or effects. Scott

Fallen

Taylor Deupree's surreptitiously complex ambient compositions are prickly and calming all at once. "Fallen" is sparkling, tender and organic warmth for tired ears and bones. ajpoet
