haiku sounds #[(disquiet0457)]

Sound Systems for the HAIKU OS.

For junto0457 challenge.

Created  in Paris using samples of my Hang (hand pan) on Friday Oct 2nd at 10AM, Paris France.


There’s an operating system called Haiku. It’s open source.  The OS is currently running a contest for System Sounds.

Specifically sounds for:

General::
Beep
    A nice and soothing startup chime

Notifications:

    Information notification
    Important notification
    Error notification
    Progress notification (= the percentage of the progress bar gets updated)

Key/mouse events:

    Key up
    Key repeat
    Key down
    Keymap switch
    Mouse down
    Mouse up

Window events:

    Window activated
    Window close
    Window minimised
    Window open
    Window restored (= gets ‘unminimised’)
    Window zoomed (= when ‘zoom’ button (right widget in tab) is clicked)

I ended the set with the soothing welcome chime sound.

Haiku OS  Disquiet0457

Created for disquiet0457 System Alert. More on this project/prompt here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0457-system-alert/36824

As the offspring of two computer programmers, I've often thought of operating systems as a metaphor for a person's psyche. I interpreted this prompt via the name of the OS and by imagining system sounds for an OS that cultivates the peace, serenity, and contemplation I find in haikus and really all thoughtfully composed poetry/writing that invites introspection and acceptance of the multiplicity of meaning, which led me to thoughts of space travel and the idea of an OS that helps humanity to work together toward the collective effort of space travel for purposes of exploration and discovery in the absence of conquest, competition, and ego. All using samples from freesound.org (listed below), with some effects. The soundscape thus includes a mixture of gentle sounds, space ship sounds, and sounds reminiscent of related technologies with some linguistic/conceptual connection (e.g., a camera click for a mouse event).

And a haiku for this track:

windows are restored
events minimize the keys
notification

Forest Dream Soundset for Haiku - Disquiet0457

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
