Follow on Google News | Studies in musical irregularityOn February 29, the oddest day of any year, Risto Holopainen's new electronic piece Circular Golomb Rulers is released as a digital album as well as a limited edition CD.
By: ristoid Since Golomb rulers produce highly irregular patterns, they have been used elsewhere in an attempt to create "ugly" music and in studies of the perceptual complexity of rhythms. Here, however, several patterns of different length are repeated, constantly phasing out against each other. The result is somewhat complex, but not necessarily ugly music. The pieces have been realized with Eurorack analog modular and Csound. The digital album includes program notes that explain everything, and the score so you can sing along. A very home-made CD-R edition of 12 copies have a hand-made lino print on its cover, also depicting a circular Golomb ruler. https://ristoid.bandcamp.com/ End
