Let’s get to the meat of the matter, shall we? I’m done with the bush beatery and the drain circling. I’m talking flesh. I want it. Show it to me. I would like to regard it in its breathing, pulsing pomp. No more faff, no more whatabouterie. Meat. Only meat. Meat: other joe’s ‘Flawless’. A veritable abattoir. To reside in the meat mansion, slabs of the finest cuts splayed in lieu of decor. We’re here. Meat.

Outsiders: West Mineral Ltd. w/ innerfreekling @ Kiosk Radio 03.06.2025

Après la dernière émission partagée aux côtés de Lou Vacquié, on termine la saison avec l dernier épisode de SKYPUNCH, cette fois-ci avec Sleepdial ! 
Sleepdial est un artiste venu du Colorda, et plus précisément de Denver. Il évolue dans un univers à la fois glitch, dub, vaporeux et étrange, à l&amp#39;image de son dernier EP sur West Mineral Ltd, sorti en mai dernier. On s&amp#39;écoute donc cette émission et on se dit à l&amp#39;année prochaine !


SKYPUNCH


In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.

As will as the haiku:

revealing in the dark
the sadness of things
a fisherman's torch

this also takes cues from the accompanying image, which together make up Naviar Haiku challenge 609, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A bit of a change for this one, I didn't use anything modular and didn't do everything in a single take.   However with the waves field recording, chord sequence, (technically dyads), played using a custom patch for Dreamsynth from Cherry Audio:  https://cherryaudio.com/products/dreamsynth and the footsteps at the beginning in place. 

I then recoded volume automation for those elements allowing me to live mix them with my performance using the Creature From The ID stand alone synth by Giorgio Sancristoforo: https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net/softwares which was passed through delay and reverb effects, in place as I recorded so I could judge their effect. 

With those main elements done I added the extra footsteps and buoy bell. After listening to the Creature sounds and deciding that in places they more resembled short wave radio interference than whale song I added the Morse Code.
