e4g001- Kardia Psallo I
Kardia Psallo is a peaceful amalgamation of synthesis and recorded audio that combines into a long, drone soundscape. The sound layers blend together, swell and intermingle to create a slowly changing, complex drone. The use of various tempos and alterations of metered audio removes the sense of time to present a perspective on eternity. The name comes from the Greek words kardia and psallo, kardia meaning heart, and psallo, meaning to make melody.

The purpose behind the Kardia Psallo projects are to create a unique opportunity for individuals to interact with prerecorded music or to listen to the song by itself. The songs are created to be engaging during focused listening, but also are created to add ambiance to live performance or dj gigs. The tracks are set up to be in one key area, without changing chords from one chord to the next. The idea is similar to a drone but more complex. During the track, all the notes of the key play simultaneously, creating a key area which is similar to the tonic of the song. During the track, an instrumentalist/vocalist should be able to play/sing any note or chord that is in the key area, from one chord or note to the next without it conflicting with the track. The track is also ametric meaning that it has no inherit beat or pulse. This allows for a performer to play along with the track at various tempos without them conflicting with one another.

These factors also make it convenient for use in dj mixes or to incorporate djing with live performances of musicians and or singers. In theory, any song that is written in the same key area as the track could be performed over the track, using it as a music bed, as long as it does not modulate (change) from one key to the next or use chromatic alterations of notes.

The idea for the track was a result of wanting to use electronic music in contemporary worship settings. Having a track that is versatile and would work with many songs would bring opportunities for creativity. It also saves time from having to make a multitude of tracks for individual songs. It also allows itself to be used with djs as well.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”
