Nick Seaver: Ciara Study #13
This is one of the Pop Studies I worked on a few years ago. I was playing around with compositional strategies based on work by various 20th century composers and my digitally-enabled capabilities.
This piece is based on a short sample from the song “Other Chicks” by Ciara, off of Goodies. I played around with loops of it, transposing them and phasing them against each other. This is one of the resulting recordings of essentially improvised loop-playing. It’s not perfect, but hey, that’s why I can call them “Studies,” right?
