Janet Campbell's voice is gorgeous and I always enjoy working with her. This music was composed and produced in 2001 and encompasses three different types of digital orchestration styles.
Bio / Background
A recording is an illusion. No real orchestra plays behind the speakers. The conductor's baton is still. But as the disk spins, a virtual orchestra is recreated from its captured image.
On "Moon Festival," Jerry Gerber has mastered the illusion. Composer, performer, conductor, and producer, he uses software-and credits it, as he would a performer-to cast an orchestral spell with a virtual orchestra. But more than a physical ensemble, Gerber's virtual orchestra is unambiguously and often untraditionally placed, spatially lustrous, magically colorful, and able to express the nuances of his music in fine detail ... because the virtual orchestra is Gerber himself.
In Patterns, we're awakened from silence by a precise fanfare that for a fleeting moment suggests too much perfection. And then we are taken. Instead of bursts of electrons, we hear variations on the opening fanfare, changing moods, in lush chromatic harmonies.
