Campfire Stories 73 (Vivid Ascension) Severnaya (@conforce)

~ About The Story ~

Ere, in the northern gale,
The summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of Autumn, all around our vale
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold,
In their wide sweep, the coloured landscape round.
Seem groups of giant kings, in purple and gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
I roam the woods that crown
The upland, where the mingled splendours glow,
Where the gay company of trees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
In these bright walks; the sweet southwest, at play,
Flies, rustling, where the painted leaves are strewn
Along the winding way.
And far in heaven, the while,
The sun, that sends that gale to wander here,
Pours out on the fair earth his quiet smile,—
The sweetest of the year.
Where now the solemn shade,
Verdure and gloom where many branches meet;
So grateful, when the noon of summer made
The valleys sick with heat?
Let in through all the trees
Come the strange rays; the forest depths are bright;
Their sunny-coloured foliage, in the breeze,
Twinkles, like beams of light.
The rivulet, late unseen,
Where bickering through the shrubs its waters run,
Shines with the image of its golden screen,
And glimmerings of the sun.
But 'neath yon crimson tree,
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame,
Nor mark, within its roseate canopy,
Her blush of maiden shame.
Oh, Autumn! why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forests glad;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon,
And leave thee wild and sad!
Ah! 'twere a lot too blessed
For ever in thy coloured shades to stray;
Amid the kisses of the soft southwest
To rove and dream for aye;
And leave the vain low strife
That makes men mad—the tug for wealth and power,
The passions and the cares that wither life,
And waste its little hour.

Campfire Stories 73 (Vivid Ascension) Severnaya (Conforce)

I used 4 samples from what Adlez contributed to the sound bank. I experimented with shifting the frequency of the samples then layering them and stretching them out. The results are interesting and atmospheric. There is no other instrumentation accompanying it.

I’ve been keeping my Disquiet Junto compositions sparce because I plan to use them as components for a larger composition I am working on. More info on that soon.

Disquiet Junto Project 0419: Dischoir
The Assignment: Make music from 100+ vocal samples of held syllables by members of the Disquiet Junto.

Step 1: Welcome to a large, asynchronous, distributed choir. The Dischoir consists of 113 samples of held syllables by over 50 participants in the Disquiet Junto. You can access the files at the following URL. Note that a few of them deviate from the initial instructions 3:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pkuvmzwcdz6dx27/AACUsNclLLqToLp-OJWVkaQXa?dl=0 20

Step 2: Create a piece of choral music from the provided samples. You are encouraged to make music that feels “human,” that feels like it is simply a lot of people singing at once. However, of course, the end result is up to you; you can and should mix, mash, and create as you please.

Background: This all came about as a result of something Alan Bland mentioned on the Junto Slack. He pointed out that my having misspelled Disquiet as “Disquier” in the December 19, 2019, project title made him think of “Dischoir,” a possible Junto project. Thanks to Alan and to Jason Wehmhoener for helping me think this project through, and to everyone (over 50 contributors) who sent in samples.

Chai & Chill 086 - Tarik Omar [26-07-2020]

Scav (Sofia, Bulgaria) | ‘The waves of Iskar’

We enter the icy but at the same time warm and calm waters of the Iskar River, ready for a proper sailing. The first 1/4 we plow through the (sound) waves and we realize how vital, flexible and millenary the largest entirely Bulgarian river becomes. Foamy waves (subtle noisy soundscapes), tame waves (robotic and metallic textures), calm waves (lovely quiet low groovy textures), and hopeful waves (subtle melodic arp progressions) spilling down the sides of the boat (ears) make that we can move forward with clarity and self- determination. The following 2/4 the river slightly begins to shake causing dark and restless waves (wonderful dark drone perfectly combined with high frequency penetrating sounds) to give truce again and respite to this marvelous journey. 3/4 completed and the beautifulness of the rocky landscapes (soundscapes) are otherworldly. For thousands of years the (sound) waves of Iskar have made their way into the rock, carving out forms of incredible shape and (sound) design, which have impressed every visitor (listener). 4/4 we made it. And you, will you navigate the (sound) waves or will you get caught at the tide? 

*The closing set was recorded in September near the river at the Iskar Gorge, where Balkan Station open air festival took place.

For this first mix of 2021, we are hosting one of our favorite downtempo producers Saphileaum! Georgian multi-media artist is highly inspired by esoteric, mystic, new age, cosmic and visionary art and teachings, which hold a huge role and are a source of constant inspiration in artist’s art and life in general. His sound is often described as cosmic, spherical, light, visionary, innovative, tribal and hypnotic. All these interpretations blossom and unite in his production. 
He also runs his own imprint based in Tbilisi, Expeditions Above, focused on inspecting the inner and outer unexplored dimensions and realms. 
Thank you Andro!

Connection and creativity; together we will find our way through this difficult period.
Projects like this matter, as do the relationships they build and sustain.
Stay true, stay the course, we'll meet on the other side. 
And while waiting for that to happen, perhaps you can space out to this mix.

RC3
The Chaos Computer Club is Germany's primary source for futuristic and alternative thinking since the 80s. Each year between Christmas and New Year's Eve, this association gathers hackers from all over the galaxy for a huge congress. Under the given conditions, the convention had to move to an online exile for the 2020 edition: The "Remote Chaos Experience" (RC3). Music and all kinds of arts are an integral part of these conventions - this set is one of the contributions to the four-day streaming marathon that soundtracked the RC3 (27 - 30th of December, 2020).

AEM #3 | Alternative Elevator Music by Madera (Mix Session, May 13, 2020)

28번째 vurt podcast는 런던 Astral Industries의 큐레이터이자 현재 서울에서 활동하고 있는 Ario의 한시간 세트와 함께합니다. 아리오는 2018년 앰비언트 스페셜리스트로 처음 벌트를 방문한 이후, 지난 해부터는 서울로 이주하여 서울의 친구들과 깊은 소리와 생각들을 공유해오고 있습니다. 지난 몇 년간 서울에서의 특별한 경험으로부터 만들어진 아리오의 테크노 믹스를 음력 2020년의 마지막 날, 벌트 팟캐스트를 통해 공유합니다.!

28th vurt podcast is a one-hour set of Ario, a curator of Astral Industries in London and currently based in Seoul. Since his first visit to vurt in 2018 as an ambient specialist, Ario has moved to Seoul last year and sharing his deep sounds and thoughts with Seoul friends. We're happy to share Ario's techno mix which inspired by his special experiences in Seoul over the past few years, on the last day of the lunar 2020 through vurt podcast.

Ario (Astral Industries / London, Seoul)
이란인이자 런던 태생이며 현재 서울에서 활동중인 아리오는 런던의 앰비언트 레이블 Astral Industries의 레이블 큐레이터이자 전자음악 디제이로 활동하며 깊고 탐구적인 음악을 들려주고 있다. 아리오의 활동 영역은 전자 음악의 어둡고 깊은 그림자의 범주에 속해 있지만, 그의 전반적인 미학은 모든 전자음악과 예술을 사랑하는 넓은 스펙트럼으로부터 비롯된다. 상황에 따라 앰비언트, 실험음악, 그리고 무거운 클럽 스타일 사이를 오고가는 아리오의 디제이 세트는 환각적이고 자연 중심적인 소리들을 투영하면서 어둡고 진지한 소리들을 유기체로 인식하여 믹스함으로써 자아각성 (self-awareness)적인 사운드 스케이프를 만들어낸다.

With origins linking back to Iran, London-born and Seoul-based Ario is a practitioner of deep and inquisitive music - both as a DJ and label curator of Astral Industries. Although his remit falls within the deeper shades of electronic music, his overall aesthetic draws on a broader spectrum that prizes the synthesis of both instrumental and electronic disciplines. Depending on context, he traverses the lines and forms between ambient, experimental and heavier, club-ready styles. What is common between these worlds, however, is his alchemic handling of rich organicism mixed with darker, more austere sounds. Speaking with an emotive sensitivity, there is a certain self-awareness that permeates his crafted soundscapes, which are as much drone-inspired as they are psychedelic and nature-driven.
