Drone Series 001

vela-uniform-sketchB

This is the first in a series of ambient sketches created using the input of a monome 256 which is, in turn, fed into Plogue Bidule via virtual MIDI. The flexible solution allows me to push the data from the monome into any number of plugins, with any number of instances (fully chainable). In this case, I used Native Instruments Reaktor as my sound source. As with any work in progress, somewhat little has been done with the audio in regard to sequencing and processing. Additionally, being with my 256 at the moment, I've had to render my audio from MIDI files stored on my hard drive. As you can understand, this 'really' takes the aspect of performance out of any composition.

I hope you enjoy. Any commentary is very much welcome.

001 flin ambient sketches

The wonderful sounds of a cicada (insect) who landed on our back porch and was happily scratching away at his thorax.
Recorded in a single, unedited and unprocessed take (aside from a 500 Hz low cut) during a respite in the near-constant air traffic and wind that Wellington experiences.

Cicada - Newtown - March 10, 2012

A short work of compiled field recordings for a university assignment. The purpose was to create a sonic work that embodied a sense of confinement and foreboding.

Not every story has a happy ending.

An off-the-cuff demo from spending time with the FX and looping in Traktor Pro (which I normally don't use for music creation).
Mirroring my opinion of most things, the process and moment of creation is far more rewarding that the end result. Although, I do hope you enjoy the moment as it drifts into the ether.
Thanks for listening.
