Ah - I like the blitzy sped up leaf blower(?) sound.

A great track, I like the different elements and how they fit together.

An interesting assignment. Since John Cage suggests it's kind of a ritual to "assimilate" disturbing influences and compares it to the (anthropological) idea of integrating fearsome animals by painting them, I thought I'd try with a few disturbances of my own. (Actually, I thought about this a little longer. It fits into several sociological models, e.g. Luhmann's theory of social systems: A system gets irritated by its environment and has to cope with that, by repulsion or by integration; Cage's approach is in the integrating spectrum. Or Rosa's theory of "Resonanz": We need modes and models of "Anverwandlung", roughly meaning non-forceful assimilation, to have a working, "resonant" relationship to 'our' world, else we experience growing "Entfremdung"/alienation.) 

My disturbances: The vacuum bot (my own fault); leaf blowers which get active every friday morning like clockwork in our apartment building (not my fault); and the news (well ... my fault to switch them on, I guess; and maybe we're all a little responsible for the content). So I recorded all those sounds, recorded a drone bed and arranged everything. The duration was set by the (unedited) vacuum bot sample. I tried to only slightly edit and manipulate the samples, but I felt a little LFO action on the frequencies was in order. My favorite news sample was the line "Die große Hitze", the great heat or heat wave, so this is the song's title - contrasting the leaf blowing, which in my opinion should only occur in autumn ... if at all.

Record something to help someone fall asleep


This track I created today is supposed to help somebody fall asleep *and* have nightmares. That's licit right?

I had this piano track recorded this summer using a guitar pick on my upright piano, along with some regularly played notes and chords. Very simple , very spacious and lovely natural sound.
Just added some synth noises and Valhalla Supermassive. Easy and rewarding Thursday afternoon.
Cheers

the wonder of sheep (disquiet0562)

When I was thinking about this week's Disquiet Junto prompt, I had the oompah-pah lullaby bass pattern in my head and the idea of repeating it to fade. Improvising using five soft sounds on Garageband, I keep the wavering bum notes in the middle (that bit where you're just drifting off and be a bit startled), with the idea of returning to the plain I-V chords (E major to B major) to rock you to sleep.

Scheep Shleep (disquiet0562)

Plato had no time nor patience for anyone who enjoyed the comforts of the unconscious. “Asleep, man is useless,” he wrote. “He may as well be dead. It [is] a disgrace and unworthy of a gentleman if he devotes the whole of any night to sleep.”

René Descartes felt differently. In Discourse on Method he wrote, “Asleep we can in the same way imagine ourselves possessed of another body and that we see other stars and another earth.” Descartes may have had a point; he passed away from pneumonia due to traveling in sub-zero predawn temperatures. Legend has it that his philosophy pupil Queen Christina of Sweden was an early riser and demanded lessons at five in the morning.

Suss Müsik occasionally wakes in the wee hours at two or three in the morning, working or reading for a bit, then returning to bed a few hours later. The quality of sleep at that hour is richly luxurious, a deep enveloping wave of inanimate bliss. Upon waking, the first question that comes to mind is “What day is it?”

This piece was created to at first engage with, and then slowly disentangle, the busy rhythms of the mind. It was performed on handmade synth/MIDI devices and recorded live to 8-track. The title is derived from the part of the brain that produces melatonin.

Suprachiasmatic [Disquiet0562]

A short (for me!) piece of layered improvisation using Novation BassStation, Summit, Nord Piano, and Viscount Legend and lots of echoes and reverbs to create a drifting bed to drift off to.  I fall asleep at the drop of a hat, so this is definitely long enough for me, but your mileage may vary ;-)

A Little Night Music (Disquet0562)

Dopplereffekt [live] joins for DifferentSound Podcast #245.

Who controls the mind controls the body. 
After three years of experimentation in isolation, Dopplereffekt have emerged with Neurotelepathy, an oracular narrative of cerebral entanglement and advancement. The sleek mathematical models of 2017’s Cellular Automata have evolved into these synaptic interpretations, transferences and modifications, rejecting binary expectations to meditate on the possibilities and pitfalls of what’s to come. With their second LP and fifth release in total on Leisure System, the duo of Rudolf Klorzeiger and To-Nhan have themselves achieved a near- telepathic capacity for collaborative thought and mechanical construction. They continue to use live appearances to present experimental trials of theoretical models, and that effort is heard in the sizzle and swing of the percussive highlights here, programmed with a serious depth and wriggle that reflect both an extension of and return to form. Considerations of the machine-human interface, neurological realities and physical probabilities dominate. But these tracks are economical and precise, glittering with emotional depth and cinematic effects. The album’s core, a three-act movement of symphonic uncertainty and revelation, marks one of the pair’s most evocative compositions in a career full of them.Territory is monitored, traced and scanned, resulting in unexpected modulations. Underlying systems are questioned, competing mindsets animated and mutated: brain-to-brain, brain-to-machine and beyond. Neurotelepathy processes these transformative mental, psychological and transgenerational states both traumatic and triumphant.
