five excerpts of pieces made on the buchla music easel, summer 2024

Summer Easel (five excerpts)

🏆 Winning entry in the 2023 Wildlife Sound Recording Society 2023 Richard Margoschis Documentary Competition.

“2023 was a big year of change for our family. We moved countries leaving behind the nest we’d built over 10 years. This piece was a way of processing our fleeting memories. Together with my two eldest daughters, we listen to and chat about the recordings I’d made of the swallows that visited our barn. We found parallels between them and us.

A huge thanks from myself and daughters to the WSRS for this award. Owls are a family favourite - don’t tell the swallows!”

Have you ever stopped to sip a tea and become enchanted by the structure of the cup? Especially if you are dealing with a set made of Raku, Stoneware, or other materials that appear "rough" at first glance, the cracks, often intentional as in the crackle technique, or the imperfections on the surface along with the crystalline bubbles and all the bas-reliefs, form structures resembling a lunar surface, volcanic rock, the bed of a dried-up river, a field of clay crumbled by the sun. All these images can be seen in a beautiful handmade cup.

This is where I drew inspiration to create this musical project: moments of relaxation where, on those rare occasions you stop and dedicate time to yourself, sitting without commitments, enjoying your tea, in the company of a book, a delicate thread of smoke rising from an incense stick, obviously accompanied by good music. The immersion of the senses, slowed down by everything, leads you into almost ecstatic dimensions, hoping that no one comes to shake you or clap their hands to bring you back to "reality," a true trauma for the nervous system and the entire psychic sphere. In that moment, you are resting deeply, your mental waves slow down in frequency, it is the praise of emptiness, a true open-eyed meditation, a great psychosomatic regeneration.

The tracks in this album are long, open, driven by soft and velvety synthetic winds to enchant you and lead you into a state of bliss. The sounds come almost entirely from my modular synthesizer, where almost every sound is created on the spot, especially in tracks 2 and 3. No memory can bring back that pattern you created at that moment; just a small modification and you can lose the sonic architecture in an instant. When you unplug the cables to generate other sounds, it will be almost impossible to return to the previous structure. This is the charm of the modular synthesizer: working in the search for a texture, recording and letting go, much like creating a sand mandala and then sweeping it away with one hand.

In addition to the main texture of the modular synthesizer, the background is enriched with loops, organic drones, granular systems, and field recordings, processed to shape a surreal and dreamlike landscape, where a real sound is confused with one modeled in total synthesis and vice versa.

With the hope of being able to alter your state of consciousness or at least your perception of space-time for a profound exploration of the true self, I thank Andrea and his label for giving me the opportunity to be part of this wonderful community.

Joseph Valentino is a visual artist and musician living in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona. He has been active in electronic music from the time he started DJing at house parties and raves in 1994 and then producing his own music under the moniker of Neglect in 2005. Most of his sonic output is released on his own Bandcamp page Neglectsound but he had tracks on labels such as Boomarm Nation, Shimmering Moods, Adventurous Music, and Harmonic Ooze. 

"I had been thinking about a mix for several months but just couldn't get around to it. It's much easier to put it all together with a set of turntables, a mixer, and a CD deck but over the past few years, I have grown to prefer using Logic Pro to create mixes that don't require beat matching. It gives me the flexibility to add unreleased tracks of my own or make edits to songs or take things out at the last minute without having to re-record the whole session. I tend to get too tied up with working on my own music to refocus my attention on creating mixes so I tend to keep notes with a pad and pencil to get the ideas rolling. This one had some key tracks that I considered to set the tone for the story I wanted to create, it was just a matter of some sewing and patching to get the flow right. Thanks for listening and please use headphones".

Whispers of a Silent Year is a profound exploration of ambient soundscapes, crafted with meticulous attention to detail by Binary Phaze. This album transcends the boundaries of conventional music, presenting an auditory experience that is both intimate and expansive.

Forgoing rhythmic elements, Whispers of a Silent Year is built upon a foundation of field recordings, drones, pads, melodies, and textures. Each sound is carefully sculpted using an array of hardware synthesizers, including modular systems, and captured entirely on 1/4 inch tape. This approach imbues the album with a warmth and authenticity that can only be achieved through analogue processes.

The album's title reflects a unique period in Binary Phaze's creative journey—a year marked by relative silence, during which music creation was sparse. Despite this quiet period, Binary Phaze managed to gather eight evocative tracks that span 45 minutes, each one a testament to the power of patience and introspection.

In this collection, Binary Phaze delves into the subtleties of sound, weaving together layers of gentle whispers and ambient hums. The result is a seamless tapestry of sonic textures that evoke a sense of stillness and introspection. The absence of rhythm allows the listener to float freely through the soundscapes, unanchored and open to the nuances of each moment.

Binary Phaze offers an auditory sanctuary in Whispers of a Silent Year, a place where time stands still, and the only movement is the gentle ebb and flow of sound. This album is an invitation to pause, listen, and be present in the quiet moments that often pass unnoticed.
