Loving the almost middle-eastern style scale you're getting out of that flute! Were you using a particular scale, any half-holes there, or just noodling around? Low D is one of my favourite NAF keys and you just reminded me why :)

A quick test recording made from a series of samples taken from a gorgeous late 1960s Brüel & Kjær type 1024 "Sine-Random Generator" - an all tube based design that found its way into some of the most prestigious acoustics labs around the world and turns out to be a wonderful source of really quite haunting wobbly and warbly sine tones.

1960s Brüel & Kjaer type 1024: Random Sines

1080_GRENOUILLES is part of a research project on the sound of Molenbeek (postal code 1080) under the forthcoming TEMPO AL  TEMPO 2018 Festival (27-28-29 September). Les grenouiiles (frogs) recall the canal that is crossing the areas of Molenbeek and Anderlecht in Brussels.  The spoken words are excerpts from You Tube interviews to  a policeman and to some young people living in Molenbeek. Marco MAL LOPRIENO:  instant composition, Ableton LIVE, Push, Oxygen8 V2, electronics, sampling, field recordings, baritone saxophone, contrabass clarinet, voice, percussions.

1080_GRENOUILLES

You and me the hottest hit.
Burning banging harmonic. 
Heart beating in staccato.
Zest. Lit. Legato.
Flaming notes down my spine then you greet her con vibrato.
Can I come over to you?

End of the world.  Armageddon.  Bombers overhead.  

No escape.  Everyone dies.

Air Raid At The End Of The World

Dave Benham - Low D Native American flute in Honduran mahogony by Guillermo Martinez
Dan La Porta - tuned Cooperman frame drums with attached shaker

Recorded in Dan's living room on 2012-07-31 with an H1 Zoom recorder. Flutes miked through a Fishman Loudbox Artist acoustic amplifier set up with some reverb and delay.

These are the best of about an hours worth of music. All selections were spur of the moment improvisations with no rehearsal what so ever.

Were thinking of studying some of these and perhaps producing some quality recordings.
