ABridge - Disquiet0448

Solo upright bass
Harmonica
Synthesizers and Fx.

Image: Friendship by Agnes Martin.

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0456: Line Up
The Assignment: Interpret a painting by Agnes Martin as if it were a graphic score.

Step 1: Look at the work of painter Agnes Martin, best known for her parallel lines.

Step 2: Select an individual work that suggests itself to you as a musical score.

My imagination is not flamboyant today, I just went for some linear playing, both an upright bass linear impro and an harmonica and synth simple straight drone.

Parallel Lines (disquiet0456)

Deforestation in Finland has accelerated tremendously in recent years. Most old forests have already been cutted, but also logging growing forests  for the pulp industry is still increasing. When the logging machine comes, the scene is like from a horror movie. Like the sounding too. 

A little piece of old forest that had remain near our home was nearly clear cutted brutally. It took four days to do that, and this recording is from the third day.  A Black Woodpecker cried hearth-breakable during the first day and a Raven pair flew over and over again during all the days of logging. 

This piece is recorded near my bird feeder. The Raven is heard best between 5-6 and from 11.15. The other birds are mostly tits of the woods. Between 9-10.30 a Willow Tit (most likely) is singing weakly it's fall song. In the picture the logging machine is resting for a moment. Enjoy with headphones, thanks!

The Final Cut - 15/10/2020 - Makholma Forest

Rejected orchestral piece for a music score (publisher's call), quite naive and straight forward.
Piano, upright bass and flute, full orchestra (string, brass and woodwind experimenting with several orchestral libraries).

Composed and performed by Daniel Diaz 2020.

Reworked and remixed on Thursday October 22nd 2020 inspired by this haiku:

Morning Wind -  naviarhaiku355

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

This has been a stormy fall, and in Finland has been already 40 days with stormy wind speeds as the average is 27 a year.  A small, but intense low pressure passed over creating wind speeds up to 31,3 m/s in the gusts and 27 m/s as average. 

I couldn’t resist recording this storm just in our backyard as it was evident when I opened the front door in the morning that this wind is going to make damage. (The picture)

Recording storms creates mostly undefined white noise that’s not very pleasant to listen. But it seems, that when the wind gets hard enough, there occurs (more or less) strange noise patterns with regular shapes that can make it sound interesting. 

In situ I could hear cars passing and chainsaws running.  I hope there’s a bit of this weird noise left in this recording, at least when listening with headphones.

And yes, when the gusts were as strongest, two trees come down. One pine on the roof of our neighbors sauna building 6.50 and an other one with the tree trunk breaking 8.28

Storm in my Backyard - 19/11/2020 - Makholma Finland

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.
