Performed at the Festival of Laurence Crane: A Tribute Concert on Monday 18th October 2021.

The title is an accidental pun on Laurence’s Bobby J for electric guitar. I was chatting with Patrick about putting the piece together and told him we might both have to muster up our best Bobby D impressions (aka Bob Dylan).

Enceladus In Motion

Sturnus vulgaris cohibitus (2020) for piano & transducers inside the piano. 
Performed by Marco Riccelli (der/gelbe/klang). Recorded by Asparuh Tashev at Villa Waldberta 17.06.2022.
The impact of the lockdown on nature was pronounced, as people were confined at home, animals began to feel freer in cities, pollution and noise levels decreased and birdsong became more audible. Confined at home, I began to watch starling flocks in my garden and listen to their (by my first-impression) non melodic songs. I wanted to capture their voices, turning them into a virtual instrument.
Composition Sturnus vulgaris cohibitus reflects on the idea of confinement. Piano part has a developed rhythmical language and is treated as a percussion instrument with prepared strings inside the big resonating box. Tiny speakers inside the piano play the brief starling calls which have a timbre function, creating a reverb and later a delay of a played instrument. Expanding its register the piece progresses keeping the dependency between piano and tape while symbolising a bird trapped between the strings, only making sound when struck by piano hammers but still hoping to break free.
Virtual instrument patch created by Kristijonas Naslenas.

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0600-reaching-out/63012

Loaded everything into a sampler and started playing around with slices and layers until things started to form.  Set it up so I could mix and tweak each sample live and then hit record.  I ended up using the following samples in the final track: worn_path, psu_stairs, walking, and nacre_voit,  No other sound sources added.  Recorded directly to a stereo file with no post processing.

Disquiet0600 - Out Reach In

My contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0600. The opportunity to participate in this is special to me as I participated on Project 0004 which also featured wonderful samples from Marcus Fischer. I created a piece that is still a personal favorite.

Approach and process - I was extremely time constrained with only a few hours to put something together. I built it around a heavily re-worked and effected version of the file '600_PSU_stairs-mfischer'. I used Bitwig Studio, a lot of automation, and a few time stretching tricks. 

I hope Marcus provides more raw material in the future. Thank you to Marc and Marcus for putting this together.
