For many years, Jack Hertz has been working to fulfill a challenge laid down by Karlheinz Stockhausen in "Advice to clever children." To compose with sound in an organized, yet non-repetitious manner, without imposing patterns or meter. In today's BPM driven world, this can seem impossible until we look at modulation of timbre, tempo and arrangements. This album marks a turning point as these 13 tracks are the best examples of Jack Hertz' work. Collected from years of work, Jack considers this to be some of his best and most challenging works.

Surprise is an interesting idea for composition. This is what one gets when working with modular synthesizers. The machine' willingness to obey is purely deceptive. It has it's own rules that take over, leaving the composer behind. Get it now from Murmure Intemporel at https://archive.org/details/MI...

This long form drone incorporates binaural, phasing, panning, and frequency modulation techniques to explore sound at the threshold of perception. The audio was intentionally mastered at low volume, with extremely slow changes. The listener may experience gaps in audible events, and at times may feel the sound more than hear it. The listener is invited to further modulate these effects by playing the piece at different levels, places, and times of day. Download the album now at https://archive.org/details/Ja...
