Benn Jordan - Six Air Machines (10 minute song)
This is the music probably most prominently featured in my Patreon video.
It made it in 2018 using a breath controller manually creating rhythm with 6 different wind instruments reading from a short 6-voice composition stretched out x10 to create a slowly evolving ambient melody.
If you're into this type of music, then the first stop is Steve Reich, of course. :)

so barring my rude comment earlier, I really like this piece and the way it worked as background music in the YT video. But with Steve Reich on my mind I kept wanting there to be a vibraphone coming in to announce the movement to a new section, which I'm sure Reich lifted from the role of the Balinese Ugal in Gong Kebyar. It also kind of reminds me of an Improvisation game I used to do with a sextet where we would slowly build a loop with each player filling in a gap and then it would evolve over time.
I can't seem to find that Bandcamp discog code, am I just being a dummy?
Coming right up in a new post for your tier!
So it's music for 6 musicians? Will have to listen to it again later, my wife hates it just as much as music for 18 musicians.
...there are people who hate Music for 18 Musicians?!?!? HOW
