Description

DRK Hetero4 is a controlled-auto generative device that creates up to 4 regular rythmic lines, with independent tempo each one so creating a kind of an heterophonic-called musical texture or independet rythms. In addition, you can play freely with that lines from the internal keyboards or remote.

Although the meaning of the term "heterophnie" differs according to various authors, traditionally it reffers to the personal ornaments each musician makes on a given melody, getting so a complex result.

A contemporary heterophonie (HETERO=DIFFERENT PHONIE=VOICE) could be a musical texture where the internal rythms and harmonies have no simple mathematic relationships as in the pop music in general occur, so they can shift in a non proportional way.

The musical lines work as independent entities, so opening a fantastic world for complex perception. You can think a similar case on video or theater where there are various scenes ocurring simultanoeusly…so why no experiment a similar sensation on music with the tools and styles we have nowadays?
