about

The title is derived from an idea of masses of sounds climbing up and down matching staircases of timbre and at places falling of the staircase to break into small fragments. I also used the idea of eight synthesis sitting in a circle and the listener(s) sitting in the middle - trying to match each others sounds and movements. I used analog joysticks to move the sound around, pitch ribbons to control pitch, modulation and filters and pressure points to trigger envelopes.  The piece was recorded using my analog modular synthesizer with a few digital bits thrown in for good measure. 
The piece explores extreme registers and sudden dynamics to create a dramatic structure and form. 

Double Helix Staircase is in four sections with quite clear divisions.   

i. slow sustained clusters, 
ii. rising glissandos,
iii. short staccatos 
iv. slowly pulsating sound masses.

It is originally written as a 8-channel surround piece.
