Mikael Lind - Strings and Clusters (2018)

From Mikael: "Strings and Clusters was initially composed in Nodal, where you can very easily write polyrythmic music. I wrote lots of phrases for violin, viola, and cello, and had them recorded in such a way that they became building blocks for something larger. The next step was to put these phrases together in an interesting or pleasing way, and I worked intensely for a couple of months trying to find which phrases suited best in their naked form, and which I should transform through sound design techniques. 80% of what you hear on the album are from these original string recordings, but there's always a dialogue going on between the ambient string clusters and the naked strings"
