When I look at the old map of the town of Bern and the river Aare with the intention of using it as a graphic score, I first notice the quasi-rhythmic change of colors and degrees of brightness. Then the shapes, several phallic structures, which are partially nested into each other, and the play of surface, line and point. As a next step, I roughly divided the map into four areas, each of which has a different character, with lines, dots and increasing density at the top right, the curved line of the river, which is increasingly stretching to a surface, the (phallic) middle part enclosed by it with its structure of clearly delineated surfaces, and finally the part running out into pure surface at the bottom right. These four parts of the map are reflected in four musical characters in my piece. At the same time, I tried to translate the overall impression of the map into music as well, so that I did not lose sight of the whole of the score.

Here's a  strange and slightly menacing dark ambient piece taken from Lockdown Jam 5, recorded on the 28th May 2020, again mashing the wonderful pieces provided by our Lockdown collaborators, @idin-samimi-mofakham, @martyna-kosecka, @taraexperiment and Heidi Hart, but this time, adding the work of @arshia-samsaminia, the main collaborator on our 2020 album, Samsaminia.

Disquiet Junto Project 0455: Inner Invertebrate. The Assignment: What does a moment (or a day) in the life of a jellyfish sound like to a jellyfish?

I was doing another track, Andromeda Blossoming https://soundcloud.com/winterer/andromeda-blossoming-studio-version, which was originally not meant to be some kind of underwater track and which is made with the App Samplr on iPad with some of my own tracks plus some cc0 field recordings from freesounds. In this track, I more or less imaginated another evolution of 'the andromeda strain', one of my favourite sci fi movies, with its strange "unfolding" effect on the lab screens in the movie.

However, a lot of it's sound seemed to fit to this disquiet, so I removed anything un-jellyfishy and un-underwatery and did some new balancing of the components. This Cassiopea andromeda lives on the bottom of the sea and she looks up to the billowing world above her…

Andromeda Blossoming (underwater remix) [disquiet0455]

Inside an old fishermans hut of corrugated steel by Makholma shore during a light gail with some rain. No birds, nothing else, a typical November day here.

Wind and Weather - 2/11/2020 - Fishermans Hut Makholma

In August 2020 there was a few days of some intense thunderstorms across the UK. On this particular day I put my microphone rig out under the cover of a large hedge outside my flat and recorded for several hours. For most of the recording the hedge was inhabited also by a robin, who sang softly throughout most of the storm. 

This is a short excerpt from that longer recording where I like the density of the rain, and where the song cuts through just enough. It was the middle of the day so you'll hear some traffic and other sounds of activity from where I live, at the edge of a city.

Soft Robin Song In A Thunderstorm

Visiting an abandoned farm in the outer woods of Luvia village on a rainy and windy day I come upon the windy howl from one really old and big aspen surrounded by younger firs. It was a little before the farmyard, so that the gusts could gather some strength from the more open yard behind. (There’s water dripping and some very small rain, but the sound that sounds like a rain shower in the end of most gusts is not rain, it’s the branches of the firs. I’m not sure if I’ve ever paid attention to this rather distinctive sound before. It was clearly heard against the jet like lower sound from the big aspen and the microphones were placed under one branch.)

I like this recording a lot but due to the loss of quality of the mp3 here the 24/48 flac is downloadable. Though be sure to listen with headphones.

Old Aspen and Firs - 21/11/2020 - Ruusnellinloukko Luvia

From an over night recording with a blizzard (with gale force gusts) inside a fisherman's hut in the midnight by Makholma shore. In the first minute there's Whooper Swans shouting far in the background. Next day   most of them was gone. In the morning the microphones where covered with snow, as there was some gap under the roof.

Winter Night - 11/1/2021 - Inside a Fisherman's Hut

Stereo soundscape recordings. Sometime nature, sometimes people, sometimes machinery. Sometimes quiet things like a single branch creaking in the wind on Dartmoor, sometimes odd moments in the city. Mostly local, but sometimes travelling.
