Among the fly ashes and flame’s fulcrum, the origin and destination's nuances are lost into shade's shaping. Meaningless are the relationships between indoor and outdoor world. A plural noise faces the expanse of embers.

Tra le ceneri volanti e il fulcro della fiamma, l’origine e la destinazione si riflettono smarrite nell’evolversi della sfumatura. Insignificanti i rapporti tra mondo interno ed esterno. Un suono plurale si affaccia sulla distesa di braci.

program note:
philosopher and ecologist Timothy Morton refers to climate change as a hyperobject, “a conceptual fact so large and complex that, like the internet, it can never be properly comprehended.”* much of the complexity surrounding the idea of climate change is due to the incomprehensibility of the extent of an intricate and seemingly infinitely connected web of biofeedback loops, such as forest dieback and the albedo effect, which are accelerating the already staggering rate of climate change. these loops create a snowball effect, a cascade of impact escaping our control. c a s c a d e s is informed by these feedback loops and attempts to bring the intimately impactful, yet seemingly distant, effects of these feedback loops to the forefront of our perception. throughout the piece, electronics distort the listeners perception of cause and effect, what is real and what is artificial, what is impacting and what is being impacted.

Created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0523: Chill Communication
@disquiet

The Project: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

These ice samples were recorded by whirling ice cubes in a growler back in 2017. I looped a section and processed that through a Make Noise Strega, recording the piece mostly as one improvised take where I 'played' the filter to create layers of feedback in the delay. There is one overdub where I improvised repitching the same ice loop in Samplr and also processed that through the Strega, creating different tones of delay feedback. There's a bit of judicious volume envelope editing added in post to calm the feedback swells a bit. It all reminded me of a slow motion version of the wild ricochet sounds made by dropping ice down a bored ice core well.

Many congrats and thanks to Marc ( @disquiet ) and Happy 10th Anniversary to the Junto!!
