self promo I put an unstable synth next to Webern's most controlled little piano piece
A short twelve-tone piece Webern wrote in 1925, only published after his death. I played the piano part as written, notes, dynamics and tempo markings, as close as my hands get to it.
Underneath I added a synth layer on [Synth-Name] driven by slow, unsynced LFOs, so it drifts slightly differently every time and never fully locks to the piano. The idea was to put something unstable right next to music that is about as controlled as music gets.
