Programmatic Responses, the first release by artist RJ Valeo under his ‘Richard J Valeo’ moniker, explores some of the darker and more complex ideas first presented on his 2003 Type Records release “September”.
Through the use of constantly evolving rhythmic and melodic structures, “Programmatic Responses” draws us into a hypnotic world of rhythmic evolution. Created from overlapping pattern fragments repeated at un-synchronized lenghs, and overlapping melodic elements that are built from Reich-like “phasing” time signatures, the compositions on “Programmatic Responses” are based firmly in the digital-futurist world.
Created using a custom developed live composition and mixing environment (comprised of Numerology and Bidule) the compositions were performed and captured live in one pass with no post production. With “Programmatic Responses”, Valeo — a student of the groove, creates the perfect soundtrack in response to and for the constantly shifting inhabitants of modern cities everywhere.
Now available on Amazon.com for purchase.

The “Reich” reference in the info blurb is simply calling attention to several of the sliding and intentially out-of-sync ‘train-wrecks’ used on some of the effects and in the actual drum patterns. In no way was the comparison to mean any sort of Reich-like brilliance or forward thinking were involved here, just straight up inspiration used in a different context.

Downloaded these 2 tracks today. I’m really enjoying them, especially the dissonant tonality in the 2nd one that’s becoming more apparent to me the more I listen. That they are essentially live cuts from your rig is really impressive to me. I’m developing a live performance myself at the moment, built out of Live and Reaktor and with a keyboard and controller - though 90% of my tracks I compose in Logic. My own interest in performance is in providing apparent visual cues between gestures I make and what people hear, which is what I’m trying to sus out.
