Guitar improvisation with field recording.
From the CD 'A Quiet Place'. 
Bandcamp: https://martinhoogeboom.bandcamp.com/album/a-quiet-place
Mastered by Marlon Wolterink.

These improvisations are influenced by the landscape near the river Eem. This empty landscape has everything to do with swamps reclaimed in the Middle Ages, the expansion of the Zuiderzee and the many floods that occurred here until 1932. At high tide, the water flowed over the dikes and sometimes they broke. The inflowing water then sanded a vortex hole, which is called a "waai". These ‘waaien' are now small lakes behind the dikes. It is an old and empty landscape where the light bounces off their surface and clouds moving over slowly.

A Quiet Place

WAAI

I took Marc's instructions for [disquiet0540] the other way around to explore a different avenue possible with this combination of numbers: Instead of 5/4, I went for a 4/5 feel (so based on five quintuplets rather than four sixteenth notes to the beat. Or you could look at it as a VERY fast 5/4).

This was inspired by Miles Okazaki's excellent book "Fundamentals of Guitar". The chapter about rhythm explores these and far more complex polypulses: https://www.milesokazaki.com/fundamentals-of-guitar
Also, I tried for something along the lines of Strobes from London: https://strobesband.bandcamp.com

So I ended up with a rather unsteady-feeling groove and the tricky task of playing a couple of guitar breaks in quintuplets.
But I spent far more time on the beat, obviously, which was too much fun.

See what you think! Thanks for listening.

Trajectorize

I had the pleasure of making this track for the Naviar Haiku challenge for the haiku below.

This was recorded in preparation for the https://soundcloud.com/naviar-records curated Naviar Haiku Fest at Cafe Oto, London, on 7 December.
More details here: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/naviar-haiku-fest/

Music inspired by this haiku:

The spring sea:
all day long
undulating, undulating.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

Happy New Year everybody!

This is a live recording in preparation for my recent gig at Cafe Oto, unedited.

Just starting the journey somewhere, working things out as I go along.

Enjoy!

As I found myself tremendously inspired by Glitcher's and SinnySounds' evocative "Somebody's Home", I proceeded to layer sparse electric guitar tones through Chase Bliss Mood and Moog MurF, recording and removing, listening and listening deeper, in order not to diminish the gorgeous sparseness of the original duo arrangement. 
Some of the experimental improvs yielded some percussion sounds (all played on guitar), and I felt these lent themselves perfectly for concluding the piece. At the eleventh hour, I recorded some electric bass swells to beef up the lower frequencies,  about two thirds of the way in.

Here's the source duo file onto which I overdubbed my tracks, thanks guys for coming up with such a creativity-fuelling duo composition: https://soundcloud.com/sinnysounds/somebodys-home-disquiet0592

Enjoy!

Homecoming (Glitcher & SinnySounds & encym for Disquiet0593)

This disquiet0597 assignment inspired me to go someplace different:

1. Leave the beatless path for a bit. 

2. Write electronic, polyrhythmic, odd time sig material for a planned recording session later this year in London. 

3. Polypulse, polyrhythms, odd time signatures.


Visuals: On bus 23.

Thanks for another inspirational project this week.

I opted for using Bassel's statement for the end, building a track with a rather maximal approach.

Starting with recording a simple guitar line on my ES-330, I added layers of bass, micro samples and variations and ended up with something rather melancholic but funky.

All put together in Ableton.

Hope you like it!
