Duane Pitre – Varolii Patterns

It didn’t get any more peaceful than this in 2023. In fact, »Varolii Patterns« is probably the musical antithesis to recent world events. Of course, Duane Pitre didn’t see that coming, and the six pieces are already a few years old. He recorded them while working on »Omniscient Voices« (2021) with an eight-voice synthesiser that is tuned in just intonation (whatever that means) and didn’t end up using them until now. We’re lucky that he eventually released them, since they allow the listener to find inner peace with them—which is more important than ever. Sebastian Hinz
