This Is Not Shit

“Take the sound of the stone aging.” At first I thought about this in the geological sense. Then I came to the conclusion that aging basically just means living. So what are stones up to when they live their secret lives when nobody is watching? What’s their sound? I imagined it being something cheeky and a little funky, kind of slow but danceable.

Disquiet0643 - Cheeky Stones Funk

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

I based my track around a recent field recording from a bus stop. You hear people talking in different languages, birds, traffic… a typical midday inner city drone. To this I added several Synth tracks, filters and effects.

The Distributed & Vertical Relish Concerto for Electronic Quartet and Water (disquiet0649)

Recorded on 19 Apr 2024, 27-31 May 2024 & 06 Jun 2024. Mixed and mastered on 07 Jun 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes - 

I set the track up to roughly follow the golden ratio alongside the conventions of a concerto, like this -

1:36 - presto 158bpm
2.56 = 153.6 = 2.33 - adagio 44bpm  (4:09)
0.625 = 37.5 - allegro - 120bpm  (4:46.5)

I am calling this "distributed" because I threw away the notion that a concerto needs a solo instrument but instead leaned closer to Ornette Coleman and "collective improvisation," which I have always believed was inspired by the older "Dixieland" jazz.

The assignment: write a piece of music informed by the concerto form 

The "generalbass" roots the original form of the concerto. Everything is carried out musically around this. I focussed upon this impression. Good to connect and remind one's own "generalbass".

Wandering Memories

Wandering Memories (naviarhaiku545)

Original  From JJ Cale

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
