memories of concert walls

Long after the orchestra went from stage, the audience left the concert hall, the room has been cleaned: the walls still hold their musical resonances. Together with electricity, pipes, screws, wood and stone we listen to this phenomenon.

Disquiet Junto Project 0646: Empty Orchestra
The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke.”

The first two syllables are the Japanese word for “empty.” The final two syllables are an abbreviation of the Japanese word for “orchestra.”

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0647: Day Drone

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0647 discussion thread on Lines:

This ambient drone was created using a Novation Peak controlled by an Arturia Keystep 37. Found a preset called “Happy Days” that seemed to fit this week’s theme nicely. The audio from the synth was recorded into Ableton Live where I added more reverb in addition to what the Peak produced. An additional texture track was created using a chopped up sample of the original audio. Used AudioThing Noises on another track for atmosphere. The “bee buzz” tones in some parts seemed to align with the assignment photo perfectly. Happy Drone Day 2024!

Conversations With Clouds [disquiet0647]

There is poetry in self-contained mechanics, pressurized systems and circuits being part of a bigger circle.

Using field recordings of a waste-to-energy plant in the nearby forest. It supplies my city with heat.

To me drones in daylight suggest, obviously, brightness but perhaps also a kind of straightforward simplicity and purity. For me, the sine wave rendered in the major scale represents these qualities. Hence this track is the result of a one lone sine wave oscillator tuned to the C-major scale. There is of course lots of looping and over looping and the requisite reverb.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE
Naviarhaiku 545

white petals
on the stormy sea -
floating memories
 
Vincenzo, aka El Wud, is an electronic musician from Naples, Italy.

A regular participant in our haiku music challenge, El Wud uses sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes to create evocative soundscapes.

I translated Vincenzo's haiku from Italian, and made some minor variations. I hope you'll find it inspiring.

White Petals

White Petals (naviarhaiku545)

Recorded & mixed on 19 & 20 Sep 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes -
For this, I put together a 4 track piece in FL Studio and exported stems on Thursday and then reworked those stems along with an altered piece of the full mix in Ableton Live on Friday. 

While I was in FL, I edited 32/16 patterns into 29/16 and also some other time sigs. I tried to keep it minimal, which also makes it a bit harder to count out but in the spirit of the prompt’s description, I enjoy the ambiguity.

Tools used - Fruity Kick,  Caelum Audio Tape Cassette, Arturia Delay TAPE-201, Puremagnetik Gelm,  Moog MF-1045, FL Plucked, Output Portal, FL Pitch Shifter, Ableton Creative Extensions Re-Enveloper, FL DirectWave,  Puremagnetik Pastfabric, Ableton Buffer Shuffler 2, Spectral Blur, Pitchloop89 & other Live native devices.
