TITLE: Memory Effect 001 NOTES: Memory Effect 001 consists of three synthesised voices, each comprised of a tone generator, a particle synthesiser (granulator) and delays. Root values of the piece are based on a chromatic sequence (G#, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G). A three note melody is played in voices 2 and 3 with Pattern Use values of 68%. An additional Mutation Factor of 611/1000, provides significant variation of the simple three note melody. Voice 2 contains a three note chord structure that varies in density over time. Voice 3 contains a two note chord structure carrying the same change values as Voice 2. |

Photos taken from 1948 - 1968 by late WW2 refugee, Alex Garton. He arrived in Australia in 1950 as part of a two year migrant working scheme. Work, dignity and a stable future are no longer available to countless refugees in Australia. Thanks to Shane Garton for the restoration of these priceless images. |
