CB 178 - Erika

Invited by Sir John's publisher Music Sales Classical in 2009 to consider a project with him in the future I created a series of rewordings and deconstructions of his work.

Here is one demo which I offer as a gift to his spirit on the day of his passing, 12 November 2013. That collaboration will never happen in the form we intended but very soon more will be revealed. RIP sir.

M. Geddes Gengras - "Ishi" June 24th
180g 12" tip-on _ CD & digital include 40min bonus 'Vigil'
http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/mgg/ishi

“No dream, no wildest nightmare, prefigured for Ishi a city crowd, its clamor, its endless hurrying past to be endlessly replaced by others of its kind, face indistinguishable from face.”

- Theodora Kroeber, from Ishi: In Two Worlds


M. Geddes Gengras has inhabited the Los Angeles experimental music scene for the last 7 years, bouncing through various bands, monikers, and a critically acclaimed collaboration with Sun Araw and The Congos. The producer perhaps shines most brightly, however, when left to his own bespoke devices. His solo work is largely based in modular synthesis, comfortably straddling a variety of forms while remaining rooted in a deep affinity for the limitations of analog electronics and a keen ear for timbral manipulation.


Ishi finds the producer diving headlong into beautiful, sprawling ambient explorations and deep, mystical drone. Its title is the name given to “the last wild Indian” in North America, who emerged in 1911 at the age of 49. Hidden all his life in the wilderness of northern California, Ishi spent most of his life completely unexposed to the modern world lurking just beyond his own timeless reality. His only exposure to the “civilized” world came from Gold Rush settlers, whom he watched massacre and disease each and every member of his family and tribe, until he alone remained. When he was found, communication between the miraculous survivor and this strange new world was understandably difficult and frightening— but the knowledge gained through the process proved invaluable.


Sometimes the most effective and direct means of communication and understanding exist outside of human language. Gengras’ highly expressive instrumental record reveals itself via sweeping tonal gestures and striking, intensely colorful washes of heavily processed electronic sound. “Ambient” is insufficient to describe the uniquely evocative soundtrack presented here, a lushly nuanced sound world generated directly from the deeply personal relationship between one man and his meticulously cultivated machines.


“The record is about the schism that exists between the world we live in and those stuck on the margins of it— perpetual outsiders and their quest to understand the torrent of information they are constantly subjected to. I was directly inspired to these pieces by two people in my orbit who died this year, one accidentally and one not, both of whom suffered this affliction and eventually lost their lives to it. The music was a reaction to these losses and a sort of offering of something peaceful but at the same time respectful of the conflict and dissonance of life, with movement always in the distance. I look at it as music for passage between different realms, conscious & un, this world & another, layers of reality... ISHI is a metaphor for that— the man who walks into our world understanding none of it but forced to live in it regardless. This is somewhere in between a prayer and a lullaby for him and for the rest of them, but also something for those of us left behind.” - M. Geddes Gengras

This piece was written in collaboration with electronic musician Christian Czornyj for a Nico Mulhy curated event: 'Electronic music Pioneers', as part of his new music festival 'A Scream and an Outrage' at the Barbican Centre. It is a stylised representation of different recordings of Earth by NASA space probes.

Pilgrims’ trails leading you on through woodland and thicket towards ancient temples. The softness of the temple mosses and a thousand hues of green. Osaka: the hustle and bustle of a Japanese city offering an overwhelming abundance. For all my walking is the title of the Kyoto sound diaries, with music and words composed by pianist Ulrike Haage and percussionist Eric Schaefer during their three-month stay in Japan. The work is named after, indeed inspired by, a Santoka Taneda haiku with its reference to the search for meaning through pilgrimage.

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.

Campfire Stories 11 (Autumn at Plaenterwald) by Robert Heel (@robertheel)

~ About The Story ~

After a long autumn walk out of Berlin in the Brandenburg Forest and Spree River at Plaenterwald (which has an old abandoned amusement park) I went back home and basically continued my autumn journey with selecting music for a mix. I tried to create an atmosphere and images of for autumn, I worked quite long on the music selection to really paint the picture and tell the story I wanted to achieve and then recorded the mix in Ableton with a delay and reverb and most tracks I also slightly edited. From rainy textures, falling leaves, sunny days to cloudy and windy atmospheres. I chose a poem to go accompany the mix.

- - -
Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth,
      This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i’ the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
      Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.

That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
      Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,
Love were clear gain, and wholly well for you:
      Make the low nature better by your throes!
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!
“Among the Rocks” by Robert Browning

Detroit music might be best known for its techno, but there's plenty more if you know where to look. A case in point is Shigeto, composer of vividly beautiful electronic music, beat-driven, rhythmically fractured but melodically sumptuous. With a new EP just out on Ghostly International, he stepped up for a Worldwide mix.

Daniel Lanois' Aquatic - m. geddes gengras’ phogene version

Aquatic (m. geddes gengras’ phonogene version)

This is a demo of Telharmonic's ASR Mode. The "Degree" input is sequenced by a Korg SQ-1. The D-GATE input is triggered at a separate tempo by Maths. DPO's Final output is used as the Telharmonic's FM input. The other Maths channel slowly modulates the Fold amount on the DPO, which is also tweaked by hand.

Left Channel = Telharmonic's H-Out
Right Channel = Telharmonic's P-Out

"Ryan contributed the second exclusive track in form of a remix he’s finally found the time to finish after all his extensive touring, and it’s a real beast, putting Óli and Nils’s original into a completely different light. Watch out for the moment when the beat kicks back in. It’s pure sonic bliss!" – Robert Raths, label founder

Richard Devine's demo of the Mutant Snare eurorack module (amongst others). He seems to have made good use of the external input to morph the Snare into something completely different!

Find it on ModularGrid here! https://www.modulargrid.net/e/hexinverter-Electronique-mutant-snare

His description of the patch:

"I took 5 sources into the external input, and then multiplied the output and fed it back into it self so you get this really hi-fi feedback sound at times. 
Used the Low-Gain Electronics Short Bus V2, with 5 sources running in, then took the summed output back into the Snare to get these glitchy broken like sounds, then slowly opened the decay allowing for more of the external signal coming through and then I flipped the switches to turn on and off different effects.
Sources:
1. Mungo d0
2. Warps running parasites program 7 delay/feedback
3. Z3000 modulation at low rates (amplitude modulation) audio cutting.
4. FMVDO running modulated high FM, mixed in by hand manually with a intellijel ATT
5. Digital Noise out from the Synthesis Tech e102 quad temporal shifter
I multiplied the output and sent 4 sends to the HexVCA, one out to the Eventide Space, one to the intellijel Spring Ray, and one to Clouds for the granular delay stereo scatters. Being triggered by the Ladik Random R-110, for the long gate holds."
