Neuro-Trend Arcadia TTL Space-Mode HD

Neuro-Trend Arcadia TTL Space-Mode is an original experimental electronic music composition created by purely synthetic means. The composition is more rhythm-based, with melodic and synthesizer components adding to the musicality and interest of the work. The composition centres around two 75 bpm sequences created on the G-Stomper Rhythm Android freeware software. The application is a groove-box-like rhythm interface that lets users compose sequences, and lets them add their own samples. To start, an OCET VST Rhythm sequence was made at 75 bpm (some tones and noise percussive bursts) with a little reverb to time the entire composition. Added to this was a percussive sequence created on the G-Stomper with various samples bundled with the software. Reverb was added to create "distance" and a detachment in the rhythm. The two main sequences were also created using G-Stomper at 75 bpm and 4/4 timing. The first was called "Calgoon Sequence" and consisted of various metallic noise bursts and bass drum samples together with a Doepfer modular sample - that played the melodic component. Tracks 1 & 2 contained custom samples created by inverse sinewave chords and ring-modulated sinewaves. Reverb was added to several tracks to create an ethereal continuum. The melody line is slightly melancholy as it plays against the ring-modulated and atonal inverted sinewave chords. The second G-Stomper sequence is the "Traxton Sequence". This sequence contained various filtered percussive sounds sampled from Reaktor and the Nord Lead, and random tones. Custom inverted sinewave chords were also used flanged, filtered and processed to create a meaty and bass-responsive track with plenty of bite. The result is quite rhythmic and earthy. To complete the work, a low-frequency tone effect was added to the beginning, and a Hammond Organ VST simulation chord was used to give an organ-based texture. Synthesized filtered white noise was used to signal changes in the music, and more signal-generated tones were used for atmospherics and lower-frequency ambience. At the end of the composition, the Calgoon Sequence was heard again, but slowed down to a factor of 200% and played as a counterpoint to the normal speed version. The visuals are pure video synthesis electronic weaves and textures created by embossed checkerboard patterns, lines and XORed (Exclusive OR) combinations to create EMS Spectron Video Synthesizer-like effects. Some images used a track-matte or external key to create different positive/negative combinations. Of interest are the wire-mesh and moiré-style textile weaves. These animations pan and fold over like a visual representation of logic circuits. This effect was achieved by multiple orders of embossing. Other effects include pseudo-oscilloscopic traces, texture overlays, Microsoft Powerpoint shapes, glow superimpositions, "Scanimate"-like image transformations and various moiré effects. The result is an aural and visual meditation taking the listener into anoth
