PL:
Endless Fluctuations to trzecia część cyklu zapoczątkowanego przez epkę wydaną w Recognition. Jej kontynuacją jest "Futher Fluctuations" – debiutancki album Krzysztofa Ostrowskiego. Nerwowość poprzedniej część tej trylogii przywodzi na myśl bunt sztucznej inteligencji. "Endless Fluctuations" jawi się z kolei jako posthumanistyczna utopia stworzona przez anarchistyczne maszyny. Pomimo rozpadu dawnego porządku panuje wśród nich dziwnie uspokajająca harmonia. Bity postanowiły porzucić kierat tanecznych struktur, a prosty syntezatorowy riff, zamiast zabawiać spoconych bywalców jakiejś dyskoteki z lat 90-tych, wybrał się na wycieczkę w kierunku bezkresnych kosmicznych sfer, by pooddychać czystą metafizyką.

Stockholm-based composer and musician Linus Hillborg has an interest in compositional techniques born out of limited computing power and sample memory. Residue is a collection of weird, darkened and solitary sounds derived from such practices, including soundtracks and ambiences from early bootleg games - heavy on FM-synthesis, repurposed samples and microtonality - as well as music of past presents and future pasts constructed in a similar vein.

This is an extremely slowed version of the song. And yes the cover is relevant. Try to figure it out. You won't.

Description:

Following up an idea on feed back loops, looper cross amplitude modulation with my software based digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt; plus analogue synthesisers: Soma Enner, Soma Lyra 8 and Soma COSMOS.


Track 1, "From This", 01:04, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt:
**************
Records a short Soma Lyra 8 performance, two motifs introduced and recorded into Loops 1 and 2, ready to use in Track 2.


Track 2, "Feedback Madness", 02:15, PulDeFilt:
**************
*(1). This is where is all began. Having recorded two short 11 and 12 second samples from the Soma Lyra 8 from track 1 into loops 1 and 2, it was time to experiment with loops 1 and 2 amplitude modulating (AM) each other.

I wanted to explore the possibilities of dynamic assignment of multiple looper outputs to cross amplitude modulate each other. So I decided to start simple and just cross link only two looper outputs.

The audio signals from looper 1 and looper 2 where then multiplied together, i.e. amplitude modulation. Now to add some spice, after amplitude modulation, this was fed into a delay+feedback+gain block and added back to the looper 1 AM input. This delay was necessary as a technical matter but then later proved to be a useful timbral tool by playing the delay times according to a prescribed discrete set of delay times (as assigned to 8 midi note pads, along with the feed back gain assigned to a rotary encoder of the midi instrument again played by the performer. The discrete delay time tuning was determined by ear, old school style, play one delay time, write that down, play the next delay time that sounded right, write it down and continue, then assign to the tuning library.

Since the original audio from the Lyra 8 was feed into the Soma COSMOS for reverb, no reverb VST was necessary in the digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt.


Track 3, "Wander", 02:41, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
A purely Soma Lyra 8 performance.


Track 4, "Uncover", 03:21, Soma Enner + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt
**************
Here the Soma Lyra 8 played a dual role, firstly as the delay+distortion for the Soma Enner performance and secondly, the Lyra 8 played in it's own right. This was then feed into the Soma COSMOS to layer in and out various motifs and play the Blur and Drift dials. PulDeFilt was used here purely as a mixing console and to layer up performances.


Track 5, "Leaving", 02:00, PulDeFilt + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
After all the hyper activity, a calming finale. PulDeFilt was used to play a pulse oscillator drone through a single delay+feedback block then off to a band pass filter, adjusting the centre frequency dynamically during the performance. This provided the backing for the Soma Lyra 8 performance. The Lyra 8 audio was passed through to the COSMOS for a touch of reverb.

Queeste emerges with the nocturnal sounds of Haron's Wandelaar, an album exploring his long-term interest in music's talent for inducing and affecting dreams, successfully turning listening into an act of transport, leaving you in the midst of falling asleep, at a junction of dislocation, hazily arriving in a liminal world. In Wandelaar we hear Haron's playful reaction against the confines of dance music, gathering energy from his estrangement from the scene and using it as a means to reorder and interrogate sound.

The modest piano takes centre stage, allowing each solo note to becoming fertile and full, suspended and considered, guided by the principles of minimal composers such as John Cage and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Haron delicately translates sparse chords into a cinematic narrative of ascension, conjuring up a 'moony landscape,' grey and desolate from afar, intricately detailed on approach.

Haron’s Wandelaar is available 6 July 2018 on LP and digital platforms. The vinyl release includes an art print by Fallon Does, who is also responsible for the graphic design of Wandelaar. All tracks written and produced by Haron Aumaj, mastered by Wouter for Brandenburg Mastering. Words by Jo Kali.

FRKTL - 03/12/2020

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
