Good music is always a balance between predictability and surprise; music which is too predicable is boring and that which has no predictability at all is chaotic. In modern times, most of the traditional elements of music have become, to one extent or another, predictable. There are no lost chords, extra hidden notes in the octave, or missing rhythms. Today creative instruments have expanded beyond the guitar, bass, keys, and drums to encompass new creative tools such as tempo-synched visual FFT filters, exotic DSP processes, chaotic systems, and obscure mathematical constructs. These new instruments are played with the same passion and creativity as the traditional ones. The question today becomes how can these new tools be used, misused, and abused to produce material which is in some way impossible to accomplish otherwise? How can it give artists an eleventh finger or second right foot; how can it translate into new surprises that elicit larger emotional responses from the listeners; and how can it add the perfect spark of chaos that sublimely elevates a project out of banality? The Abstraction Sample Line represents a thorough exploration of these magic smoke-and-mirror illusions of esoteric studio wizardry. It expertly packages this unique and unusual content into instantly accessible add-on loops, and offers sounds that can immediately reinsert surprise into any music project.
