Phthalo Blue from Blue Chaos by David Brown

I started with a feedback track using an E glass singing bowl as source material which I resampled into a prolated chord of the first four partials of E. I added two layers of sound to complement the piece, including bowed gong combined with sampled electric guitar, & sampled trumpet played in an ancient Greek hexatonic scale.
