Disquiet Junto Project 0428: Urban Moss

Olivia Rodrigo - drivers license ( gin hell REMIX )

Shortened selection of recordings of jamming taking place on the UVB76 "Russian Buzzer" frequency.  Introduction track is the old Radio Moscow ID - this is from a larger collection of recordings of jamming taking place on military comm channels

Electronic Counter Measures 1 UVB76

Live at the Mormyrid

Rare On Air, Volume 4

Tom Waits - The Fall Of Troy (live) - KCRW Rare on the Air

This piece is a combination of field recordings and experimentation with semi-automated arpeggios and chords. Different instruments (hand drum, music box, and Cello) are playing the same set of notes but layered (like urban moss)on top of each other. They are treated with tape loop effects and noise, with a Solina added on top for ambiance.

In the background, some treated Fado singing from a concert at a small bar in Luxembourg and some street noise.

All this may be also a response to the ongoing chaos in the world… Lets all hope, it will be over soon - and we can go back to enjoying the coming spring.

Best wishes to everyone!

Urban Moss - disquiet0428

Upright piano, synthesizers.
Recorded @ Paris and Buenos Aires over the years...
Created for:
**Disquiet Junto Project 0428: Urban Moss**
*Step 1: Consider how many concert posters have spent time on an old telephone pole before being torn down or succumbing to the elements. Think about the wear on the wood, the rust on the vestigial staples, as time has passed.
*Step 2: Record a short piece of music that pays tribute to the accumulated echoes of past concerts promoted here over the years.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After both my parents died a couple of years ago I had to let go many things, most notably the family house and the bedroom where I lived my first 22 years. It was a thrill to go back to that room to say farewell, the walls were covered with posters, stickers, etc. There were a lot of concert posters glued to the wall that my parents just kept there, along with many concert ticket that I glued over. I wish I could have keep that wall! Filled with memories, there was even a Miles Davis street poster (huge) for a concert in the early 90s that never happened (Miles got ill, cancelled and died)

Then I had to let go my old piano, a century old German beast, with crackles, noises , real ivory and ebony keys and “that sound”...

I recorded a lot on it when I was living there but even in the recent years , when visiting my parents, (although I have a modern piano in my studio) I liked to bring a stereo microphone and do some recording that, when listened 10 thousand kilometres away, instantly bring me back to that piano, that room, and the past.

In this track I worked on a solo piano track I found on an old DAT, recorded at my parents’ house 15 years ago, added some hi pitched notes for the same session/DAT, then I created a pulsating synth arpeggiator and a deep bass, with a lot of subliminal blemishes like noises and interference in the background.

here's another: 
https://soundcloud.com/user-608919580

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
