Gunnery Sergeant Rosen Reads the Navy Seal Copypasta

Created for the University of Lethbridge's Integra Contemporary Electronics ensemble by Evan Alexander & Alex Wang.

Description:
3^3 (Three to the Power of Three/Three Cubed) is an instrumental piece for live code, guitar and synthesis based on the concept of three spaces. Initially, these spaces represented states of mind; thinking, acting, and reflecting. As the piece evolved around the ICE ensemble’s chosen theme of “a race for space”, this theme became more reflective of current events in 2021. Specifically, it deals with the rise of private spaceflight for the ultra-wealthy while the rest of society grapples with unprecedented challenges; most of which do not benefit from earth’s elite finding the fastest way to leave the planet behind.
	The piece was performed live at the ICE ensemble’s public workshop on December 8th, 2021, by 6 performers. The recorded version was produced solo by overdubbing. Rhythm, bass and harmonic voices are generated through live coding in TidalCycles on the Estuary platform. Multiple guitar parts were layered to emulate the code, with three guitars initially following the bassline and arpeggios in the first movement. These guitars form most of the harmonic voices throughout 3^3.
	The second movement is marked by an accelerando, and a shift in texture towards continuous synth melodies generated by Berna3 and a Moog Theremin. Berna3 is a simulation of early electronic test equipment used at the RAI Musical Phonology Studio in Milan. This standalone software by Giorgio San Cristoforo is oriented towards giving a digital version of this equipment which follows the same techniques and limitations of the original technology. It is therefore vastly different from many software synthesizers, relying on patching and connection between oscillators, modulators, filters, and processors to generate variable tones and timbres without the performer using MIDI devices or sequencers to play a rhythmic passage.
	At the crescendo in the 2nd movement, notice the long beeping tone similar to a dial-up modem connecting to the internet. This is a Slow-Scan Television signal (SSTV). SSTV was the earliest method used to transmit images from space and was carried aboard Vostok and Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s. This type of transmission is now vastly outdated by modern broadband satellite technology, but retains its place in orbit aboard the International Space Station. The Russian Service Module of the ISS contains an amateur ham radio station, which transmits an image every two minutes. The image you are “hearing” is featured on the artwork of this track. It is a real (and unsettling) photo of Jeff Bezos eating a roasted Iguana at the 2018 Explorers Club Annual Dinner. Bezos was at the dinner to accept the Buzz Aldrin space exploration award.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Serj Tankian, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
