Gajavadana Mam Pahi

This is a conceptual piece of music created to be a short science fiction film. 

The track is a journey through different dimensions of space and time and is broken into three movements. 

The first movement introduces the main characters and establishes the stories atmosphere and motivation. 
The second movement is a sound design piece I created to represent traveling though space and time. 
The third movement is our arrival and represents the emotional part of the story.

Written, performed, produced and mixed by David Mackenzie

After taking a hiatus I'd like to turn your attention to this latest upload of mine, featuring samples of the oud, a stringed instrument common to the Middle East. Please bear in mind that I didn't play the oud; sadly, I am not such a virtuoso. However, I am getting quite experienced in choosing samples that fit my jam sessions, and using this exotic instrument yielded quite enthralling results in my humble opinion.

In this particular session I was experimenting with G minor, which took me outside of my usual comfort zone of C minor. As so often the case, I used a combination of Eurorack modules, the Arturia MircroBrute, and some pre-prepared drum and drone pad samples. These sounds were looped on the Boss RC-300 loop station. 

After setting up the sound frame using Eurorack and the Arturia MicroBrute, I played back a couple of Youtube videos together with my sounds; something that I have been practicing for a quite a while now. At the end I settled for following two videos:
- G minor oud Improvisation (https://youtu.be/vIBjXLFv1vE)
- Emotional Gm (G minor) CHORD - Ambient Backing Track #13 (https://youtu.be/PLqvVSGuRlI)

The jam session was recorded in Audacity. In post-production I used the best parts from the jam session to create this track. As I already expected, I had some trouble with playing back the oud sounds in such a manner that they fit the track and especially its tempo. So I had to heavily edit these samples in post production and put them back together with my sounds in order for them to sound as desired. While doing so, I also employed some reverb, high pass filters and a limiter within Audacity, albeit very sparingly. Other than that, no elaborate effects or mastering techniques were used, you basically listening to a short and condensed version of the jam session.

As always, the result is highly dynamic, so headphones are recommended. Also, please turn up that volume knob because Loudness War is for losers!

This track  is a collaboration between Mono-Orbit and the poet Jo Richter  @sonic-textures. 
We would like to thank Jo for his imaginative works that continue to drive the Mono 'incarnations' into new areas of creativity.

Poem by Jo refers to the Long Man of Wilmington, a hill figure in East Sussex, England…
“So this is the infamous Voyager plate
That scholars cannot accommodate?
Before foregoes after, yet left mirror right?
Minds imprint relates to retinal light
As here to beyond, this world to the other
As any relation does
Oh, why bother dimensions
Those indicative cats.
Windover Hill never returns.
Do Vitruvian circles align or encapsulate man?
The inside knows not what it reads on the cover”

Song “The Long Man” written by folk singer Maria Cunningham in 1966…
“Keeping watch from Windover Hill
The green man stands so tall and still
Carved from the turf by the ancient ones
His mystery through the ages runs
Some say with rake and scythe he stands
In readiness to till the land
Or does he hold back winter’s doors
To welcome summer’s sun once more
Though his purpose is lost in a distant age
And history turns another page
The power and mystery cling to him still
As he keeps his secret on Windover Hill”

Windover Hill

This track was created for Naviar Haiku challenge 544:

out of my dreams
the distant croaking
green frogs

The background dreamscape is made in virtual modular using VCV Rack; this is quickly augmented with a heavily processed sample from Freesound.  The sequenced elements in the latter half are generated by the probabilistic sequencer Stochas, feeding into a couple of instances of Solinoid, the orchestral synthesizer and near the end a frog.

Freesound sounds used:

LA POUDRE BLANCHE...

Il se jouait à la russe
Bravant sa roulette
Se cherchant des plus
En laissant les miettes.
Il écœurait de sentiments
Surtout pas de haine
Aux injustices seulement
En vivant dans la peine.

Il se prenait des interdits
Qui grilleraient son temps
Sans se trouver maudit
Pour rêver en plus grand.
Il traînait son ombre
La suivant par derrière
Les regards de ce monde
Pas bien fait pour lui plaire.

La poudre blanche, retrousser la manche
Et quand bien même, ceux qui en prennent
Il n’y aura plus, depuis le début
Aux artifices, que la fin de triste

Il mettait ses oeillères
Pour aller tout droit
En courant vers l’enfer
Qu’il espérait moins froid.
Ce n’est la peur au ventre
Qui le ferait partir
Aux ténèbres impatientes
Mais pourquoi vouloir en finir?

Il se riait des sorts
Dans tous leurs tirages
Taquinant la mort
Qu’elle vienne avant l’âge.
Dans les méandres des rues
Malfamées de racailles
Il s’était tout juste perdu
Mais fallait-il qu’il s’en aille?

La poudre blanche, retrousser la manche
Et quand bien même, ceux qui en prennent
Il n’y aura plus, depuis le début
Aux artifices, que la fin de triste,
Que la fin de triste.

Salut bien bas, adieu à toi.

WHITE POWDER

He was playing Russian
Braving his roulette
Looking for each other
By leaving the crumbs.
He was disgusted with feelings
Don’t you hate me
To injustices only
By living in pain.

He was taking prohibitions
That would blow his time
Without being cursed
To dream bigger.
He dragged his shadow
The next one from behind
The eyes of this world
Not good for her.

White powder, roll up the handle
And still, those who take it
There will be no more, from the beginning
To the artifices, that the end of sad

He wore his blinders
To go straight
Running to hell
That he hoped less cold.
It’s not fear in the belly
That would make him go
To the impatient darkness
But why do you want to end it?

He laughed at the spells
In all their prints
Teasing the death
Let her come before age.
In the meanders of the streets
Thugs of the street
He just got lost
But did he have to go?

White powder, roll up the handle
And still, those who take it
There will be no more, from the beginning
To the artifices, that the end of sad,
Only the end of sad.

Hello down, goodbye to you.
