mur-mur-a'-tion

 

1. a low, continuous, indistinct sound

2. a flock of starlings

"A dazzling cloud, swirling, pulsating, drawing together to the thinnest of waists, then wildly twisting in pulses of enlargement and diminution.” (Grainger Hunt)

 

These murmurations were created using "extreme processing": the manipulation of acoustic sound (piano, strings, and voices) in such a way as to obscure the source material.  They also fulfill my longstanding desire to imbue ambient music with a richer harmonic palette; that is, to project ambient music through the lens of classical music - or perhaps, the reverse.
