TIME Micro - Notes
TIME micro continues the quest of its partner collection, TIME macro, to unravel the riddles of time and sound. Like its predecessor, TIME micro offers an orchestra and choir that seemingly dislocate the passing of time. But as the name suggests, all the sounds here are softer… quieter… more delicate and ethereal.
This is the sound of small ensembles and solo instruments playing with the utmost restraint and precision. Here too, the focus is on sustains that move and shift, with a wide range of articulations and complex ‘Chrono Structures’. Exercising the power of the understatement, this is a secret weapon for underscoring, sound design, and all kinds of modern music production.
