about

Benghazi is a digital concrete piece by Peter Grenader and one of the three original concepts presented when zZyzx began it's first rehearsals in May of 2016. All sound originates from a single two minute sample of a conservative radio commentator guesstimating the cause and motive of the terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya on September 11th, 2012.

The piece incorporates both analog and digital sound processing techniques arranged as ABA with a Coda. The A variants consist of a series of atonal stems of the text while the B Development section establishes a tonal hierarchy and key structure to the same technique.

Technical Notes:

Benghazi is equal parts digital processing from Jill Fraser using Abelton and a Push II and Peter Grenader on a digital/analog hybrid modular system with The EAR Model 27 After Effects Delay and Harmonizer, EAR Octal Waves, Q-bit Nebulea, 2HP Freez, Audio Damage Grainshift and Mutable Instruments Rings being the distinguishing instruments used - along with a Limaflo Motormouth Formant Filter which created the didgeridoo drone timbres fundamental in establishing the b section tonality.
