Exercises in Style – No. 61: Permutasjonar I (Permutations I)

In this exercise, Trond wanted to explore a style reminiscent of what the German electronic pioneer Klaus Schulze was doing during his heyday in the late seventies and early eighties: sequencer-based music with picturesque moods over a rhythmic foundation that, despite seeming stationary, is constantly changing on a micro-level.

Trond used sounds closely aligned with what Schulze might have used, and structurally, he has stretched out themes and moods a bit longer than usual.
