Description : Intertwined with the stochastic nature, Alexander Panos’ music attempts to reconcile human existence in the world, often discussing the mechanisms of longing and becoming. This is evident in a collage-based approach to composition that draws on genres such as folk and electronica, yet remains acousmatic in form. The hard-won release of his debut album, Nascent, was met with acclaim in many areas of electronic music, and his revolutionary Color Transfer devices, Max for Live, have become staples for many.
“I care deeply about the inherent beauty of boundaryless sound and its properties as a conduit for emotion. I find myself creating systems in Max/MSP as part of an improvisational sound design process that, while technical, is inherently gestural. After sunset, it feels as if the deep azure sky merges with the horizon of the lake, creating an indistinguishable boundary. It’s a formless ache – enticing and difficult to describe. The pack was created to reflect this. You’ll find many textures and phrases that are not constrained by measured time, mimicking the dynamic patterns of nature.”
From the sparkling formants of his homemade harmonizer to the crushing acousmatic gestures, he offers these sounds in the hope that they will help others unlock their potential for experimentation.
