sounds like james ferraro alient ambient stuff.. i like!

wow you have a rhythmicon? that's awesome

Generative patch on the Serge modular. Dark ambient drone.

Base track for collaboration with Disquiet Junto members.

Experssion Fields

the main sound is the organelle playing a rhythmicon, some octatrack buffers recording, delays and tape.

messa in abisso (disquiet0348)

In 1978, a young animator named Louis Carpenter used computer-generated fractal geometry to draw complex objects in three-dimensional space. He started with a pyramid, dividing each of its triangular sides into smaller shapes and repeating the process indefinitely. You can see the output of Carpenter’s efforts in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, the first feature film to contain a computerized sequence using this method. Now you know.

Evidence of fractal geometry can be found everywhere throughout the natural world, from the branching of trees to the human cardiovascular system. Taken in this context, mise en abyme might reasonably be considered the most organic of creative practices. Some consider the craft to be nothing more than a recursive gimmick: M.C. Escher on a coffee mug. Yet if one were to view ultrasound images comparing the vascular structures of healthy organs against those riddled with tumors, the significance of fractal repetition can be creatively inspiring.

For this piece, Suss Müsik played a simple piano/violin phrase and split it into smaller “shapes” to be looped through various effects modules. Every sound heard in this piece is derived from the original using some combination of ring modulators, glitch/swell effects, low-pass filters, digital reverb/delays, and a bit of tube amp distortion. The subdivided sonic “shapes” grow smaller and smaller until rendered inaudible. 

The piece is titled Sierpiński in honor of Waclov Sierpiński’s recursive process in which a shape is subdivided into smaller versions of itself. The image is one side of a crystal polyhedron.

Sierpiński [Disquiet0348]

Response to Disquiet Junto Project 0348: Hot Mise en Abyme - the piece was to contain "a copy of itself, maybe more than one copy" in keeping with the historical use of Mise en Abyme.  My submission is an audio take on a video process I've used in a few films and installations where a single recording split into two or more locations, with half of them playing the recording backwards - optionally with an alternating black-frame strobing effect. The source here is an improvisation that used, if memory serves, Mangrove oscillators from my modular system , CV-controlled by breath and pedals, fed into Zebrify in Plogue Bidule.  The recording wasn't destined for anything (in part due to technical glitches) but seemed a useful source for this experiment.

This week's Junto was to consider the art term “mise en abyme” (when a work of art includes a copy of itself, maybe more than one copy) and how this term might apply to sound. 

I took a piano improvisation I recorded earlier in the day (as part of the Naviar Haiku challenge) and processed it multiple times to give copies at various speeds(with various processes, such as glitching, delays, and flanging - which add more copies). These were overlaid to create a larger work, that includes copies of the original piece at double speed and normal speed - which fade in and out and pan around the field.

Recursion (disquiet0348)

With this week theme, I decided to exploit recursion with a Tape Echo using it as a live played instrument processing a harmonic-rich sample played in a loop.

I used the Elektron Octatrack as my sample processor/destroyer source the material from a children vinyl from the 60's played on reverse, effected by a comb filter with a very slow LFO modulating its tune settings for a harmonic-rich outcome. That Played in a loop while I jammed with the Strymon Magneto.

The outcome was somewhat Chaotic.

Tape And Abyss ( disquiet0348 )

My first track for the Disquiet Junto.  Building a track around the artistic concept of "mise en abyme" I took a short 8 note melody(C,B,D,A,B,A,G,E)and allowed it to play out as Whole Notes, Half Notes, Quarter Notes, 8th Notes, 16th Notes, and(loosely played)32nd Notes.  This ends up creating a neat cloud of sound that is slightly processed throughout.  Going from Whole notes through 32nd notes.  Then 32nd notes to Whole notes.  This being an experimental group, I am taking the opportunity to tinker with new post processing ideas using cassette tape.

Disquiet Junto Project 0351: Selected Insomniac Works Volume II

The Assignment: Rework some very quiet music by making it even more sedate.

***

I reworked Sevenism's "midnight solo (falling leaf) disquiet0350" - https://soundcloud.com/7777777777/midnight-solo-falling-leaf-disquiet0350

The original track was cut up into six sections and loaded into the iOS program Samplr on my iPad where I made some adjustments until I was pleased with the results.

There is a 20 minute version.  This is just the first 2 minutes.

The image is "Night Further Out", an acrylic on synthetic paper painting by me.  To view other paintings by me, start at markrushton.com
