This piece is a study of ableton's warp function, using a 27-second sample of the opening chords of Debussy's prelude canope. Whilst doing some homework for instrumentation, I found a weird ‘bug’ within Ableton: if I would stretch a clip (changing the local BPM of a specific sample), and modulate the master BPM against that, the program generates these weird rhythmic hiccups. I found these quite beautiful. By stretching the sample at different levels, these strange and unpredictable glitches appear. I wanted to create a sense of being pulled into a microcosm inside the instrument, opening up the wood and swallowing us whole. I wanted to make the tool audible: the piano as well as Ableton itself. I wanted to make my material creak, crack, dysregulate, be torn apart and be reborn. I wanted to crawl into the sample, whispering us secrets of its minute life, listening to different time-levels of the same material simultaneously. Using this technique, time becomes a texture; texture becomes a rhythm.
