Magnus-Opus | Jon Drummond + Nigel Helyer | Aust | 2001|

http://www.magnus-opus.com

The Magnus-Opus series is based upon pairings of eight notes used to create sixteen different diads or two note chords. These tone pairs are used to create melody 'modules' of a standard twelve note length. Additional compositions may be obtained by joining melodies together, or by adding melody fragments to standard twelve note melodies.

Our method was to assign each of the sixteen tone pairs to an alpha-numeric pattern so that each letter or digit corresponded to a pitch pair. This sequence when expressed through the operation of a simple algorithmic generator produces some 10,000,000,000 melodies (together with a more or less infinite number of additional compositions produced by the addition of melody modules or fragments thereof).

It is not without reason, therefore, that we claim to be the world's most prolific composers, hence Magnus-Opus.

N3xt.com is a series of loops, with the emphasis on plain space around objects, exaggerated movements and sound. Certain schemes begin to produce an idea in the mind when they are seen or heard, some a peaceful image - a most welcome contrast to the feeling of confusion and unrest caused by a crowded life style and a busy mind. An object gains importance when it is separated from the things around it- a few frames of a movie take a new life of their own when they are cut from their environment:
A new thought is born.
