aleph - Stãżëca Calling (Excerpt) | ET-086

Wednesday night, playing with loops, one seven beats long, the other eight, then layering occasional accent notes. Fade in and out just turning the knob on the amp once the loops were left to their looping. Recorded to phone put in front of the amp. Not sure why the eight-beat loop is more prominent than the seven-beat one, except perhaps that it's in 4/4 so the brain registers it more easily. Also not sure about that one hiccup at :46 seconds. Something suddenly went out of alignment and then came just as suddenly back into alignment. The bit at the very end isn't a tape cassette stopping. It just sounds like that.

Another experiment with electric guitar loops. The main difference between today's and yesterday's (https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/passing-waves) is that yesterday's was recorded serial, so anything coming from the first loop also appeared in the second loop. That gave it a certain density, but, well, it also gave it a certain density. This was recorded in parallel, meaning whichever looper was recording at a given moment was only recording what was being played by the guitar, not what happened to be coming out of the other looper. This means the density took quite a while longer to achieve, but also that the individual segments are much more distinct, even after density has accrued. Also, the loops are quite a bit longer. Recorded from stereo speakers into a phone (yesterday was from a mono amp), though I'm not sure if the separation is particularly apparent. Major noise reduction in Adobe Audition, and a tiny amount of reverb.

Participation in the "Disquiet Junto" project led by Marc Weidenbaum: Phase Transition.
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.
https://disquiet.com/0471/

Ice cubes fall into a glass.
Recorded with a Tascam DR-100MKII + built-in mics Uni.
The Tascam is placed vertically on the glass, in contact.
A Pure data patch lets you hear the recording transposed to 3 voices  and brings out their harmonic components by spreading out them over time.
At the beginning we hear the untransposed sound.
This is the same Pure data patch as for:

Enregistrer le son d'un glaçon dans un verre et faire quelque chose avec.

Des glaçons tombent dans un verre.
Enregistrés avec un Tascam DR-100MKII + micros intégrés Uni.
Le Tascam est posé verticalement sur le verre, en contact.
Un patch Pure data fait entendre l'enregistrement transposé sur 3 voix et fait apparaitre ses composantes harmoniques en les déployant dans le temps.
On entends au début le son non transposé.
C'est le même patch que pour:

Phase - Transition - Disquiet0471

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.
