Oil and Water #2

“Oil and Water” is the second act of the instrumental suite opening the Tableaux Électroniques album. This track is marked by some stark contrasts: between acoustic and electronic instruments, between fast and slow sections, between swing and straight rhythms. These contrasts won’t blend, but they will come to a sort of uneasy cohabitation, just like oil and water sometimes do. All the melodies you hear are played by a clarinet, at times heavily distorted and effected. “Oil and Water” emulsify two themes taken from previous "Moods and Modes" pieces: Marilyn for the slow section and Geronimo for the fast one. "Moods and Modes" is a neverending collection of short instrumental pieces that traverse genres, an open playground I use to remix, reshape and recreate. All the revenue from this release will be used to professionally remaster one of the original short pieces, so many thanks for your help funding these future steps!
