Ambient Dreams

Lend Me Your Radio - Apr 18

This is a collection of pieces created with my eurorack modular synthesizer...an archive of patches that will hopefully serve as a reminder of sounds that will help on my journey of learning this system.  Nothing too serious, as many of these pieces are simply sketches and ideas......Thanks for listening

Félicia Atkinson is a composer, sculptor, painter, poet, and publisher from Rennes, France. Atkinson has led a fruitfully fantastic run of eerily blissful, serenely euphoric sounds. Whether under her own name or via her defunct recording pseudonym Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier, Atkinson has released work on Umor Rex, Digitalis Limited, Aguirre, and Shelter Press, an imprint co-run with Bartolomé Sanson.

‘Coyotes’ is an EP inspired by Atkinson’s last voyage to New Mexico in February 2017, when she visited and took in the geographic landscapes from Taos to Ghost Ranch. The same vistas also inspired much of Agnes Martin’s and Georgia O’Keefe’s painting, as well as Jerome Rothenberg’s poetry and translation’s works.

Atkinson describes a ‘Coyotes’ as a “Carnet de Voyage,” a tape you could directly play in your car while traveling somewhere, a kind of imaginary map to a sentimental journey. A spontaneous gesture, close to the notion of gift or offering. Or, simply, a postcard to a friend.” But it’s also a praise to the conservation of national and state parks and its human and non-human souls, menaced as we know now by drilling and violent economic speculations.

Here, coyotes act as a kind of metaphor of ambiguity and doubt, a state of mind that Atkinson find interesting to transcribe musically; the ambiguity furthered by Atkinson as a literal “foreigner” in New Mexico. She conveys a sense of visiting these native sacred lands and wondering what you are doing there.

Musically, ‘Coyotes’ is composed of two long tracks, “Abiqiu” and “Lighter Than Aluminium.” Each track features an effervescent froth of piano, midi sounds evokes marimbas, Fender Rhodes, bells, sub-basses, and spoken word poetry written by the musician to display a melancholic landscape made of transparent but deep layers of pale colors and blurry lines.

This is a semi-generative patch that I started working on last night and simply fell in love with it...based on a minimal random sequence from the Korg SQ-1, clocked by the MFB dual lfo, and quantized by the O_c.  Rings being heavily modulated by some quick envelopes from Tides, and then played with by Clouds.  O-Coast providing the drone...new bits and pieces pop up throughout...

I hope you enjoy!!

A more spacious version of the ~4/23/18 patch..... I hope you'll enjoy!!

~4/30/18 (4/23 redeux)

A simple patch I got lost in this evening, looping round and round, slight changes in texture thanks to the Morphagene and Clouds...bass vibration from intell's uVCF, Rings as the main voice..slight bit crushing by the Generation Loss... .

Headphones, if possible.. ;-)

I hope you enjoy!!

Home Gardens (from City of Signals)

A variation of a patch I was working on earlier this week, but decided to record some guitar into Morphagene, and this is what transpired...Perhaps my favorite patch to date.  Pam's New Workout has really opened up the modular for me, as she is providing modulation and master clock to the entire system.  Some random gates are triggering Tides (from Intell's Noise Tools), which is providing some fast envelopes for Rings, which in turn is receiving semi-random sequences from the o_C, which is receiving some 'swing' CV from the SQ-1 (which is being clocked/CV swung from the MFB Dual LFO).  The 0-Coast and Morphagene are also being modulated by Pam.  Some processing by Clouds in granular mode, as well as the always present CT5, Generation Loss, Avalanche Run, Dark Star, DD3, & Julia...Timefactor on a return channel.  Recorded live into Albleton, with a little knob wiggling throughout, and a bit of EQ on the final render.  

I hope you'll enjoy, and thanks for listening!!

~7/14/18

Trying some guitar loops/noodling processed thru the Morphagene.  Rings & Clouds for texture, 0-Coast droning a slow sequence from the SQ-1.  A one take jam into Ableton.  I just received the 1U line in module from Intellijel, and this(in addition to the Pitts In/Out as an FX send/return) has added the ability to bring the guitar into Eurorack...ideally this will allow me to perform live what I once could only achieve thru multi tracking.... at least that's the goal. ;-)
Thanks for listening....I hope you enjoy!!

In a way, Scintilla hits the reset button on Formentini's approach to music. The new collection is a solitary investigation, a private walk through intense and yet delicate emotional landscapes. Some of the ideas date back as far as 2008. Formentini would pick them up at opportune moments and work on them in his own time,playing and recording all the instruments at home – with the exception of some field recordings and piano.

As could be expected, many of the pieces explore the polarity between the private and the public. Duende" and "Density of Light", for example, were realised in the studio of his friend Stefano Castagna, who wasn't aware a recording was taking place. Accordingly, the sounds of doors, steps and typewriting discretely merge with Formentini's piano sounds. "To the Seer", on the other hand, is part of a project Formentini has been working on for years: "It's about the way people visiting a museum react to the volume of the rooms and to the works of art on display", he explains, "I like catching the sound of people getting lost, disturbed or challenged while approaching strong works of personal expression. On "To the Seer", for example, I caught someone saying that the place is more beautiful than the artworks in it."

Scintilla translates to sparkle. According to Formentini, it relates to the "small,spontaneous and out of control tiny flashes of light that appear here and there in our lives. It's about using them to help us track our journey, to help us chose our direction." But of course, one could also understand the word to mean something more literal, the flame to a new chapter. Either way, one thing's for sure: This time,the fire is sure to keep burning for a whole lot longer.

Luca Formentini - Somewhere In That Moment

From the album The Thing Itself And Not The Myth
---------------------
First having read the book of myths,
and loaded the camera,
and checked the edge of the knife-blade,
I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.
I am having to do this
not like Cousteau with his
assiduous team
aboard the sun-flooded schooner
but here alone.
---------------------
From Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich
---------------------
An album made from sounds gathered underwater and along many shorelines. It is built from drones played by a synchronised swimming speaker broadcasting into a fjord, many spluttering radios, geese, and morse code.
