Today the Brooklyn, New York musician Matt McBane released the track called Arpeggiator.
The third single is taken from the upcoming album Buoy which is set for release on February 28, 2025.
A lovely blend of modern classical and electronic beats in this epic 8 minute song.
About the track by Matt:
With ‘Arpeggiator’, I imagined an intersection of the classical minimalism of Philip Glass and the minimalist techno of Robert Hood. The result is a continuous flow of repeated arpeggios on the violin and synthesizer over drum machine patterns.
These all follow strict additive and subtractive processes, moving from patterns of 3 to 4 to 5, etc and back again.
The name ‘Arpeggiator’ is a reference to a standard function of synthesizers to automatically arpeggiate held chords — an easy way to create a seemingly virtuosic cascade of notes.
In my piece, these arpeggios are played on the violin (in addition to synthesizer) for an actual virtuosic feat of stamina and concentration imitating the machine-generated notes.
