Wonderful shifting and variations throughout. So clean and crisp but still filled with humanity. A mini tour de force.

something is wrong

When the authentic self seeks to create an environment set apart from the all pervasive false reality and narratives of these distorted times, it must do so without foundation or context, upon a tabula rasa, an arte povera, from nothing, and how better than through joyful aimless play with no intention other than to create and exist within the moment, through art and music and dance, away from symbols and language and meaning, away from expectation or reception, a creator with no audience or consumer, for the simple  fun of it. And it must be fun; if working hard and making effort are key to success or gaining respect then neither success or respect are important, one need not pass beyond gatekeepers for something as worthless as approval. There are no bad paintings. Want for nothing other than to know the people sing even if you hate their song. Smile at their terrible dancing, then dance yourself.

SQRIA is like all my other recordings in that it is made live only with small cheap synth boxes (Korg Volca (Sample1, FM1, Modular, Kick), Korg NTS1, Korg SQ1, Bastl Kastle (1.5, Drum and ARP)) - no daw or complex programming - just some forethought/intention and the generation of a suitable playspace - then recording what happens as I move things about. SQRIA is different in that each track is originally hours long and then edited down to something near 20 minutes.

Das Haar in der Suppe (106 bpm)

Das Haar in der Suppe,
es muss gefunden werden...., Such!

Die Stecknadel im Heuhaufen..., Such!
...muss gefunden werden!

Das Licht am Ende des Tunnels,
wer hat es bloß angelassen..., Such!




Das Haar in der Suppe

I used a phrase from a comment I received from Stars Mighty Fine as the title.
First, I see a chaotic array of tones, and then I try to create some kind of structure from that chaos. I think the process of composing is simply trying to control the song and sound with all my might.

We Control with All My Might (357)

With John Cage's message of liberation comes an admonition not to abuse the listener with casually conceived or poorly formed work.

Elura & Fornicata - Solitude

What are words worth?

Time and tide and Slime and slide and Crime and cried and
Dream and died and Scream inside and Gleam and glide and
Mime and mired and Prime and pride and Rhyme and ride and
Vine and vired and Wine and wired and Shrine and shade 
Fear and fade and Line and lied and Spine and spied and
Time and tide

Much admired and Acts inspired and
Lost inside and Totally wired and
Petrified 
Events conspired and
Odds defied
Paternal pride 
Reluctant bride 
Secrets confide and Warm inside
False override
Gentrified
Personified
Occupied and
Time and tide

Withering looks
Dithering minds

Won’t somebody think of the children?

Time & Tide

Technical Notes:
-E370 is sole sound source
-uses chord table sequencing - 5 chords, 4 voices together accompanied by a second track of their arpeggiated forms. The 2nd and 4 note of the upward arpeggios are triangle waves, 1st and 3rd notes are sines - provides a kind of accent to help with the 'urgency'; chords and arpeggios are easily transposed, by octaves, and later by fifths, by running CV to osc1 pitch cv input 
-opening low sound is osc1 sync'd by an external saw and processed by an E560 in phase mode

Urgency (E370)

Curly Compositions from a German Composer.

In ancient Roman times an augur or diviner, sought omens from things like the flights of birds to ascertain auspicious days when new work would go well.The pieces listed here represent the results of personal 'fastus' days, my best days.&#13;

Fastus appears on the Kosmo netlabel compilation "Vapors of Ambient" - check the promo video here: <a href="http://youtu.be/F8fTbY_csYI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/F8fTbY_csYI</a>
