Workshopping

Back after a lengthy absence from the Disquiet Junto.

The prompt aligned perfectly with my ongoing research into bell-like tones through ring modulation and frequency shifting, inspired by Oren Ambarchi's work, in particular "Grapes From The Estate" (Touch). 
Electric guitar, mostly harmonics, through ring mod plus some atrocious, violent guitar bits and bobs from my archive. 

Hope you enjoy!

My contribution to the 62nd disquiet-junto on Soundcloud.

1-800-dial-a-sine is composed of a 350 Hz, 440 Hz and 480 Hz tone. Why? Well, as it turns out, a dial tone is 350 Hz and 440 Hz (held steady) and an audible ring tone is 440 Hz and 480 Hz (for 2 seconds on and 4 seconds off). 

I used these as the base for making this piece. Most of it was done in Bidule and then i also ran a tone through a pitchshift and widi plugin to make the pulse.  I was planning on making some complex rhythms but ended up happier with the simple pulse.

--I've had a bit of an addiction over the years to telephones and the sounds they make and have a shrinking collection of phones from the 50s, 60's and 70's.

Original call:


Disquiet Junto Project 0062: Life of Sine

This week's project involves making music from the basic building block of sound: the sine wave. 

You will compose and record a piece of music using just three different sine waves, and nothing else — well, nothing else in terms of source material, but the waves can, after the piece has gotten underway, be transformed by any means you choose. 

These are the steps:

Step 1: Devise which three sine waves you will employ. They should be different from each other in some evident way.

Step 2: The track should open with just one of the sine waves. 

Step 3: Add the second sine wave at 5 seconds. 

Step 4: Add the third sine wave at 10 seconds.

Step 4: Only at 15 seconds should you begin to in any way manipulate any of the source waves.

Deadline: Monday, March 11, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your finished work should be between 1 and 4 minutes in length.

Strange Planet music begins (disquiet0469)

I am a composer, sound designer and media artist. I like creating environments through sound, and exploring the sonic qualities of found sounds, field recordings and 'machine languages' of everyday things. I get inspired by constraints.
I have performed internationally as 1/2 of the duo Coin Gutter, and received international awards for the my installations and performances as part of Manufacturing Entertainment.
I work with performance artists, dancers, theatre companies, film/video artists, animators etc, creating experimental sound design for their work.
