This is my live set from Sun Worship 8, a series curated by Josh Baker that is scheduled to coincide as closely as is practical to the equinoxes and solstices. It took place at BUOY Gallery in Kittery, Maine on Saturday March 19, 2001, the night of the supermoon and the night before the vernal (spring) equinox.

A collaboration with my brother Doug Seidel from 2004. For synthesized instruments with gyroscope and other recorded sounds.
Duration: 4 minutes, 31 seconds.
Doug and I wrote this piece by passing bits back and forth by email (we live several states apart).
Doug started by sending me a file in NoteWorthy Composer format (NWC is an excellent shareware notation program with good MIDI facilities). He had written two fast arpeggiated phrases for vibraphone, one consisting of 37 sixty-fourth notes (including rests), the other of 42 sixty-fourth notes. They start together and repeat over and over. Since the phrase lengths are different, they quickly get “out of phase”, and since 37 and 42 have a high LCM (lowest common multiple), it takes quite a few repetitions before they sync up again.
I took up the idea of repeating melodic cells of different lengths and wrote two phrases for recorder with the same melodic shape but separated by a major third, the lower one very slightly longer (by one sixty-fourth note) than the higher. I also wrote a much longer phrase, a series of four descending sustained notes in octaves for organ.
Doug then took all of these parts, rendered them using some good MIDI-triggered sounds, and created the overall structure. He added in a cool siren-like sound from a military surplus gyroscope device he found along with some other recorded sounds and effects, and mixed the final result.
