To date, ten different musicians have each produced special compositions which serve as the basic music building kits of instant city.
The repertoire and compositions can and will be continually renewed/ replenished.
In order to give players a wide choice of compositions, we asked musicians working with very different kinds of music to create the first <music building kits>.
But inviting different musicians and composers not only served to provide for a variety of music, but also of diverse strategies in dealing with this “instrument”; while one composition appears to be repeatable, another is never the same; one aims to engage chance, while still another tries to avoid it; here diversity, there simplicity.
The compositions varies between sound collages with text fragments and minimal music, that what’s You hear is not comparable to a normal linear song, but a modular influenced soundscape
The clang/sound of such music building kits is thereby mainly dependent on the sound files/tones with which the composers “feed” the <instant city> software. These sound files can naturally be produced in the most various of ways, with which methods/programs (recording, synthesizers, sampler, software, etc.) were always and exclusively imported in “instant.tool” or the sound?s can be done with the software „instant.tool’s“ own soundgenerators .
The software itself contains no prefabricated sounds whatsoever. |
