The $cience = one part music • one part quantum physics

Lyrics:

With a deep breath
He opens the door
The trailer smells of sweat, and a hard man’s toil
 
She was stood there
lavender hair
by a black crystal skull on the end table
 
She looks past his uneasiness and says
 
Sometimes you gotta lean into the fear
And let it wash all over you
Sometimes you gotta lean into the fear
 
When your heart’s beating fast
About to burst out your chest, yeah
 
When your heart’s beating yes
Bout to burst out your chest, yeah
Lean into your fear
 
Back at home, he
struggles in his dreams
His lady shakes him awake in the dead of night
 
He’s a good man
Loves his family
So who is he to upheave this ship on its head

Then he remembers 
 
Sometimes you gotta lean into the fear
And let it wash all over you
Sometimes you gotta lean into the fear
 
When your heart’s beating fast
About to burst out your chest, yeah
 
When your heart’s beating yes
Gonna burst out your chest, yeah
Lean into your fear
Lean into your fear
Lean into your fear

Lean Into The Fear

Electric Queen

when I change guitar strings I don't cut the part that is left over, like civilized people do, but I leave it and use it sometimes to make noises or to stop some strings from playing. In this case I "played" only these pieces of string, without touching the guitar

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Tom Murphy awoke in bewildering solitude, encased in an astronaut suit, his memory lost to the depths of space. He floated aimlessly, gazing at the myriad of stars that stretched to infinity. But Tom, ever the optimist, decided to embrace his predicament, greeting the universe with a hearty, "Well, this is unexpected!"

Days turned into weeks, and Tom's astronaut suit became both his refuge and his prison. But just when he thought he'd mastered the art of cosmic meditation, he saw a glimmer on the horizon—a distant, twinkling beacon of hope.

Drawing closer, he beheld "The Starlight Diner," an oddity in the sea of stars. It hung in space like a celestial mirage, calling out to Tom with the promise of familiarity. As he drifted nearer, an unseen force tugged him gently, pulling him through the diner's two glass sliding doors.

Inside, Tom found himself in a scene straight out of a sci-fi daydream. The Starlight Diner was a marvel of automation, with no life forms in sight. The food materialized from a carbon replicator, and recycled oxygen filled the air. Tom chuckled at his absurd luck, thinking, "Who knew that being lost in space would lead to an all-you-can-eat cosmic buffet?"

Despite the oddity of it all, he felt strangely at home. It was the kind of comfort that could make even the most jaded space traveler shed a tear of joy. He savored every dish, downed endless cups of coffee, and reclined in the plush booth seats.

Yet amid the solace and comfort, Tom couldn't shake the feeling of missing someone. A lingering sense of longing hovered like a wisp of interstellar dust in the back of his mind. He knew he was missing someone, but the details remained elusive.

One day, as Tom stared out of the diner's large windows at the starry void, he contemplated his predicament. The universe beckoned, mysterious and full of promise, just beyond the sliding glass doors. He mulled it over, sipped his coffee, and knew he faced a choice: stay in the comforting embrace of The Starlight Diner, or take a leap into the unknown.

Movement 11 from my 2020 exhibition 'La morte mi troverà vivo' (death will find me alive). I dont know where to start or finish with the story of this piece - if you want the long version please go to bandcamp https://nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/la-morte-mi-trover-vivo  there 3 essays on the exhibition in the notes and of course the whole work which is 90 minutes long. This piece for Intonarumori was the starting point for the show, written and recorded to be played at Luigi Russolo's grave as a form of 'calling ' to his spirit. La morte mi troverà vivo is a kind of sonic seance where i composed music as an evocation and used occult number theory to manipulate field recordings to capture what i term an 'imagined response from the spirit world'. The work was made in Italy July/August 2019 and exhibited in Hobart Tasmania in Jan/Feb 2020. I will post visual links and more info at a stage, though of course its a sound installation (i managed to get the whole room to softly rumble with speakers installed out of site in the walls and under the floor)so there isn't heaps to see. :) Thank you all, sorry to ramble !!

Piece For 3 Intonarumori (La morte mi troverà vivo  - mov. 11)

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
