Field Recording captured by Leslie Rollins (337is).

A migrating flock of Canada geese surprised and delighted me when I was in the field capturing video footage of a pond surface near my home in Alfred New York. I didn't have my rig completely set up and ready when I began to hear them coming in the distance and kicked into audio field recording mode with the gear I had. The video is rough as a result, and the audio is a bit as well. But, it captures the moment nicely with their sounds and splashing echoing off the surface of the water.

There's a tree house in my backyard, through the floor of which pass two massive Douglas Fir trees.  When the wind blows, the construction sings.

Outside In (crankloop) (disquiet0516)

Disquiet Junto challenge 516 - Outside In (Co/Exist 1 of 3)
Record a minute or two of nature.

I recorded in the Amsterdam Westerpark. A small part of the park is a tiny tiny wetland nature reserve for birds (no access in the breeding season, etc). I attached two small microphones to stalks of reed, seeking to capture the 'insider's perspective' of gusts of wind, something we (outsiders) experience as waves of 'white noise'.

Reed - An Insider's Perspective (Disquiet 0516)

This is my contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0517: Inside Out (Co/Exist 2 of 3). This week's assignment: record a minute or two of civilization (however you interptet "civilization").

This was recorded during a brief trip to Bilbao a couple of weeks ago.

Few things connote the idea of a place inhabited by humans better than the sounds of traffic and public transport. Public transport sounds tend to be very cyclic, rhythmical, but the beat of these mechanical escalators in Bilbao's metro peaked my curiosity. I was carrying luggage, but had just enough time to whip out my recorder and binaurals and go all the back up the escalators and down again. The sounds appeared to be a very apt welcome to a city known for its industrial heritage.

2021-11-14 Bilbao - Mechanical Escalators (disquiet0517)

Disquiet Junto Project 0517: Inside Out (Co/Exist 2 of 3). The Assignment: Record a minute or two of civilization.

The king of civilization devices: the washing machine! If you watch a scene in a science fiction movie, let's say some Klingons in a Bird of Prey (or: Spock on Vulcan) and can't imagine a washing machine in this world, then you know: This is no civilization. (But look for Androids washing at the river …)

Recorded with a Zoom H4n. Six cycles of waiting and cycling.

around 96bpm (for a cycle of 2)

Living rurally has its perks except for when one is listening for sounds of civilization ... need something of the "natural world?" No problem! I'm swimming in it. Need some industrial sounds? A little more challenging ... especially when I travel to an even more remote destination in the hills of Pennsylvania to be with family. I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to capture for sounds of civilization as Amish buggies count as traffic noise, but they don't really have a predictable rush hour to make recording them easy. So I was surprised and delighted when I saw this family working their corn field on the side of the road just out of town. I stood less than 10 feet away from their machines as they drove by and looked at me like I was a bit of a fish out of water. I waved at them and they waved back. Mission accomplished!

5 - 1-8(disquiet0518)

I combined undermulden's Coast at Møns Klint (disquiet0516) and Krakenkraft's Outside In: A Washing Machine [disquiet0517].  Both feature water.

undermulden's track was left alone and mixed down a bit.  Krakenkraft's track was duplicated several times, rearranged for a more consistent rhythm, and made a bit louder.  The washing machine "arrangement" gets louder as the track progresses, particularly at the 27 second mark.

Disquiet Junto Project 0518: Out and In (Co/Exist 3 of 3): Combine sounds of nature and civilization.

First I selected the samples. I like "river" sounds, so I took one by random. "Printer" seemed fitting, because both end with "er". Both without listening. I wanted to have as much action as possible with them and used the plain samples (mostly filtered, because I didn't like the noise in the recordings), simple samplers (polygon 2) and granular samplers (spacecraft, grain scanner).

​
The seemingly limitless manifestations that are observed during improvisational performance of electronic audiovisual materials drive me to seek collaborative interactions between compositional systems, machines, and myself. In holding space to facilitate an emergence of indeterminate phenomenon through analog synthesis, feedback systems, and field recordings, I share elements from multiple sources to celebrate shapes, patterns, and spaces.
​
I hold BAs in Art and English from Andrews University, and am currently enrolled in the Electronic Integrated Arts MFA at Alfred University. I was an artist in residency in 2017 at Signal Culture in Owego New York and in 2015 at Sachaqa Centro De ARTE, San Roque Peru. My visual works, and live electronic improvisational performances, have been featured across Peru, at The MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and throughout the Midwest of America.
 
Note: Much of the work here is subtle in nature and I encourage you to listen via headphones or using a decent system whenever possible. Most computer speakers will not reveal the tracks fully.  Unless otherwise noted in the track description, everything is recorded direct to stereo track live and on the fly with no overdubs. Thanks for stopping by and listening!
