G.S. Sultan is the alias of Los Angeles based Roy Werner. ‘Music For a Living Water’ continues his practice of creating custom software written in max/msp to articulate a conversation between composer and computer; a quasi-generative digital architecture built in fragile mosaic of MIDI, a cappella vocalist theatrics, and virtual synthesizers, gesturing at some theoretical sound-sculpture of music for abstracted meditation. Using a decidedly minimal sound pallette for this body of work, Werner writes a love-letter to liquid, building fluid soundscapes intended for ‘divided listening’; a virtual garden for contemplative walk.
