New Music From Mathematics: Observing the Quiet Spaces by Michael G. Maxwell

Michael G. Maxwell is a composer, experimental musician and installation artist; he is a faculty member in Visual and Performing Arts at Michigan Technological University, where he specializes in audio engineering and electronic music. Observing the Quiet Spaces is an eleven-minute ambient generative exploration using modular synthesizers.

About the composition, Maxwell writes: "In recent years, it has been very important to me to find time and space for quiet. Often this has aligned with a morning coffee routine where I can sit with the sounds of the space I live in, relax and prepare for work, and experience the day beginning. Observing the Quiet Spaces is about these moments of peace and mindfulness. It is a reflection of the various sounds of the radiator warming up, the house creaking and shifting from the changes in temperature, the ice melting or rain pattering, and the presence necessary to listen to those small sounds. I'm thankful for the quiet's ability to help me be here now.”

Observing the Quiet Spaces is the second release in Cloud Recordings' New Music From Mathematics series, a collaboration with MTU's Mathematics and Music Lab. Maxwell co-sponsors the Mathematics and Music Lab with Robert Schneider of The Apples in stereo / Elephant 6, who is on the Mathematical Sciences faculty at MTU. The lab's goals are to produce futuristic works of music and installation art, explore music theory using mathematics, and invent new audio hardware and software.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Michael G. Maxwell.
