Chrysalis by Chroma Forma
Having spent two decades focused on guitar-based music, 2021 marked my renewed interest in electronic composition. I began a foray into creating generative pieces and gestural soundscapes, spurred by my love for artists like Vangelis, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Brian Eno, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and Alva Noto. This collection of early recordings encapsulates the emergent ethos of Chroma Forma and typifies many of the themes I am still exploring through a variety of synthesis and sampling techniques.
Instruments used: Roland D-05, SH-01A, JX-03, Teenage Engineering OP-1, Korg Volca FM, Arturia Keystep, Linndrum samples, and various Logic softsynths. Sequencing via Logic midi and ORCA programming language.
Reverb and tape delay by Valhalla DSP
