Shelter in Bass - PotterDraw

"Shelter in Bass" explores interplay between three, five and seven, as do most tracks on the "More Than Four" album. The seven-based parts include the piano arpeggio in 7/8 and the clap in 7/4, while the five-based parts include the bass line in 5/8 and the piano chord stab in 5/4. Three-based parts include the pad in 6/4 and the high hat in 15/8. Further complications result from polymetric position-shifting of various parts, but these are elided in the interest of brevity. The overall rhythmic feel is dominated by the chord changes, which are a cycle of twelve chords each having a duration of five quarter notes. In summary, "Shelter in Bass" is in 420 (3 x 4 x 5 x 7) time.
The mapping to the visual domain is relatively simple compared to other videos in the PotterDraw synesthesia series. The radius is mapped to seven, the ripple depth is mapped to five, and the scalloping effect tracks the pad in three, while the clap and chord change are both mapped to texture offsets. Interference between the oscillations gives the impression of a rapidly rotating mass changing shape smoothly, like clay being transformed on a potter's wheel. The net effect is one of blossoming, an appropriate look for late spring.

Hi Chris, do you mix and master your tracks yourself ?

[@ckorda]

I mix them myself, but i do not master them. Mastering is a specialist’s job. Most of my tracks are mastered by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering.
