descending ascension ft. den mother

Nonagon 2023/09/25

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.

Native American Flute duet in low E (improvisation)

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.
