Album Info

Label: Larkfall

In 2009 I did a secret pseudonymous CD on Jani Hirvonen's Om Ha Sva Ha Ksha Ma La Va Ra Yam label. The music itself was the product of my apprenticeship with the Symbolic Composer (SCOM) computer-assisted composition environment, packaged up to resemble some kind of New Age album.

I didn't release this album more publicly since I felt it was generally too sterile and formal compared to my other work, although some of the approaches were drawn from the way I improvise and record organically. Through SCOM I was able to rapidly experiment with many of my interests such as combinatorics, musical geomancy, church modes, and Pythagorean symbolism... In fact the name, Peter Cora, was a corruption of Pythagoras!
