Folded The source recording for "Track 6 Folded" was an original composition by Travis Weller, performed by the Imbroglio String Quartet in Austin. This material was processed by a variety of custom programs that I developed on a Kyma-320 system. The processing included vocoding, granular time-stretching, and a unique temporal harmonic manipulation. This technique involved delaying the harmonics by various amounts, then using time-reversed reverb with matching decay times to "fold" the harmonics back to their original location in time. Additional Kyma processing was used to create the rotating sound field for the multi-channel mix. The resulting tracks were edited, mixed and mastered in Digital Performer to create the final work. Despite these digital manipulations, the piece never betrays its acoustical origins and the result is a dreamlike acoustical soundscape with a lush, shifting image.
