Do you see in fear? [disquiet0496]

Early on in the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” a man name Quail has a daydream interrupted. He dreams of visiting Mars, but then reality intrudes.

https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0525-dm-stereo

I started by listening to last weeks tunes whilst driving to the local store, I started singing along with Birds Sing In The Trees, by the time I got behind a microphone later that night, the exact words had disappeared, yet the bones of the melody could be recalled, I did 5 layers of vocals, 1st take for each, during the recording I was thinking of an image seen that day of men hunting grouse with big guns and how birds are not safe in this human world. A little bit of editing and some mixing mainly with various console channel emulations with a bit of extra saturation, then finding the best balance with the bed track.

I Will Sing For You In Fear - Fake Genius/Isonomia/Benn DeMole [disquiet0527]

Haiku Inspired:

Looking, not seeing –
Suddenly I realise
Spring buds unfolding.

By John Hinks

a simple opening [naviarhaiku425]

When is helpful not to talk?
Connecting to the natural world.

Early morning I walked up into the bush, with my clarinet, flute and a sound recorder. I pressed record and walked through the trees across the side of the valley to play clarinet from a distance, silenced my mind a aimed to let the trees speak through the clarinet. Then reversed positions with the recorder and tried to 'talk' with the birds.

The harmonic space created by encym and Nate, along with the "liveness" of each recording made a real pleasure to add my part to. Thanks unmet collaborators!

Through The Woods Not Alone [disquiet0317] - encym, Nate Trier & Benn DeMole

"Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable."

Part of the Disquiet Junto  composing group.

Not currently having a turntable in the house I turned to the net and found this wonderful collection of vinyl sounds: http://99sounds.org/vinyl-noise-sfx/ Thanks Chia!

I found some rhythmic activity that inspired me in the collection so pulled some into Ableton and started playing, before long a bass was needed, hello sine wave.

The command "Before proceeding, consider the sort of music that might be conducive as partially-heard, partially-background music for an art event” had made me think of bits of melodies poking up so added some more sines as chimes and some bits of melodies.

So thankful for all this water from the skies and in the creeks after a big time of dryness and fires.

The furniture dissolved and trickled through the cracks in the floorboards -mdh/The Land/Benn DeMole

As i was awakening on Sunday morning this challenge came to mind. Before getting out of bed I planned the bass drum sound and the long sax notes. Whilst working on getting the bass drum right my 6 year old daughter came in and sat on my lap, after a while she said 'this needs bells'  so we chose a bell sound.  Later after breakfast I recorded the 3 layers of Tenor Sax each layer with a different sound through a digitech guitar pedal. Then the bells came in. The next day some mixing tweaks and the rim shot happened.

Towards Homecoming

Towards Homecoming [disquiet0476]

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.

Benn DeMole
