Passages

Amazing work! Starts as a powerful, distant rumbling strom and ends as a psychedelic gathering of the voices in my head. And this was in stereo.

A huge sounding piece whit lots of movements and motion that is best experienced at high volume. The Paning is a pice of art and Franck takes you deep in to the psychedelic world of creatures that I havent heard before. Amazing music I would love to experience live!
Favorite track: Passages (Part VIII).

about
The picture used for the album cover is what inspired me to do this album but also the mood of the time. Earlier in the year I had a health scare. You think about your own mortality. This past year was challenging, in the middle of a pandemic, working from home. They say the only thing that does not change is change. The sun passing through the clouds, the right imagery for Passages. The world will be different after covid-19. We are also on a path of self ecological destruction. It is a passage for humanity. I poured this mood, these emotions into this music.
It is in quadraphonic, processed to be a Dolby Atmos release and bounced to binaural for Bandcamp.
You can get the 5.1 and a Dolby Atmos movie of this album on:
surroundmusic.one/album/passages/
It has been the evolution of a patch I have been using, for shows like Modular World, NPR Tiny Desk Contest,.. (see www.youtube.com/franckmartin for the videos)
This patch was mentioned on NPR:
"Franck Martin has entered the Tiny Desk Contest multiple times, but I still remember his 2019 entry: a mobile, modular synth unit filmed near the Golden Gate bridge with a 360-degree camera! This one's no less scenic, but stable, as Martin's mix of Buchla and Moog synths soundtrack the mountainous Pacifica skyline with headphone-panning dark ambient." - Lars Gotrich - NPR - www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2021/07/08/1013886473/the-best-2021-tiny-desk-contest-entries-we-saw-this-week-vikings-choice-edition
So it is a bit the culmination of testing this music with many people. During this journey I have learned a lot, got new modules, shaped the sound differently.

Franck Martin San Francisco, California
After listening to Jean Michel Jarre, Air, Daft Punk, Xenakis, Tangerine Dream and many others... Being alive during the early days of computers and electronic music, I got curious on how it is all put together. So I'm creating while learning, especially since today's tools make it easy to do something. Looking for my muse... ... more
