Now available from the Quilter Labs web store! Two discs featuring our friend, violinist Batya MacAdam-Somer!

VIOLASCAPE is the latest in our “scape” series of discs, particularly suited to creating rhythmic chordal textures. The time signature of this disc is 11/16, which means that if you play chord changes timed in a more familiar meter like 4/4 or 3/4, the rhythms of the music repeat over a longer cycle, creating more complexity. The chord buttons are simple pizzicato patterns that can be combined to create more complex interlocking rhythms and extended harmonies. The keyboard features bowed notes in a rhythmic pattern, offset with each other to create complex composite patterns when you hold down chords. The SFX tabs are similarly bowed patterns on 5ths.

TREMOLO VIOLIN/VIOLA is a solo tremolo string scale on the violin (upper half of keyboard) and viola (lower half of keyboard).
