outstanding piece of work here...ACES!...faved reposted

This is a pretty wild idea. I totally dig this. Brilliant.

I also enjoyed the sense that the piece was breathing and getting excited and then eased out at the end,then...a new cycle begins..., very nice!

Makes also want to try the concept on different sound sources !

Another piece of music for life performance - it would be cool to do it with a real kitchen sink - or perhaps with water dripping into one of my Waterphones. The sound of water dripping was all it took to create this soundscape.

A while ago, Fluxus was mentioned on my favourite radio show (Nova - http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/nova/). Rendering some of the Fluxes scores (curated by Danny MacCarthy) in the 1980s at the Triskel Arts Centre in Cork City (Ireland) was one of the activities which started me off on my present musical journey. This mention of Fluxus inspired me to compose and perform a fluxus-like event score.

>>>>>
Capture and play the sound of water dripping. The drops may be evenly spaced or not.

Make it so that the sound of each drop falling selects an electronic effect according to a selection algorithm of your choice. Any or all of the effects may be null effects, making no changes to the sound.

Route the sound of each drop to its selected effect.

Capture each of the resulting sounds into a continuously repeating loop of arbitrary length, sound on sound, while continuously playing back the contents of the loop

Add further effects or not as desired. 

When the output reaches the desired density, fade or cut off the sounds as desired.

Repeat as many times as desired.

I used four different delay effects and an envelope follower in order to side-chain a bass sound into the mix. To perform this music back in the 70s or 80s would have required at least five (ideally nine) tape machines and four synthesiser modules. I used a small computer and Max/MSP software for this single take recording.

Please feel free to perform or to record your own version and to credit me as the composer.

This is a tribute to the few survivors from those days with whom I am still in touch, and who are still making music: https://soundcloud.com/chewedupsounds , https://soundcloud.com/mixile , and Danny himself. It is inspired by the drip music of George Brecht, and it somehow seems resonate with Ligeti's piece for Metronomes.

This was the 6th gathering of the “Oak Creek Ensemble.” 

…..crescendo-decrescendo, density shifts, tone color shifts…raspy, smooth, angular, 
ballad-like,…………..close listening and close responses…. 

This setting of the Oak Creek Ensemble was recorded in Jason Wietlispach’s recording studio in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, 9-7-2013. I am thankful for Jason’s generosity to recording us and for mixing the pieces for us. I added a small amount of reverb. 

There have been two previous releases of work by the Oak Creek Ensemble, each in a slightly different grouping.

'Achinet' (2017) was written with the talents of clarinettist Cristo Barrios and bass clarinettist Sarah Watts firmly in mind. This chamber double concerto takes inspiration from Barrios' home island of Tenerife, particularly the mythology surrounding its historical inhabitants the Guanches (who named the island Achinet) and the legend that they were descended from the people of the sunken city of Atlantis - the music begins in the lowest depths and, eventually, sinks back down there.
Another important inspiration is the whistling language 'silbo', found on Tenerife's neighbouring island La Gomera -- silbo is used to communicate over distances by farmers and shepherds (the section between 8'53" and 11'55" is partly based on transcriptions of actual silbo phrases, even requiring some of the players to double on 'Swanee' whistles to more closely imitate the sound of whistling).
A final element which the music references is a thematic connection with American artist Robert Motherwell's painting 'Beside the Sea no.22' -- its brilliant blue and energetic gestures find a mirror in the colours, textures and contours of the music both the soloists and the ensemble play.

'Achinet' was commissioned by Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast with funds from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Lottery Unit. The work is dedicated to the Crescent’s director Keith Acheson and to Greg Caffrey, the director of the Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble which premiered the work.

Dead Animals

Michael Noonan’s DEAD ANIMALS (Chilled To The Bone Mix)

A vision of Macbeth in life and death: four dying gasps release a torrent of sound. In part one we meet the man of evil, a rich setting. The second part presents the eternal Macbeth, now he is a she, tormented by self hatred. The end returns the beginning.
