Ambient

"The Days Long" from Duane Pitre's new solo album "Omniscient Voices" - Out Nov 19th, 2021 on IMPREC.

Pre-order available via Imprec.com

Duane Pitre returns to Imprec with Omniscient Voices, an articulate, intense and emotionally resonant set of five pieces for justly tuned piano and electronics.

Omniscient Voices is a uniquely distinct work that follows Pitre's trilogy of releases which culminated with 2015’s Bayou Electric and included the critically acclaimed Feel Free (2012) and Bridges (2013) albums. Where those albums were rooted in long form pieces, Omniscient Voices is a collection of shorter pieces, offering more harmonic variety than previous works, with a unique sound and feel that is still unmistakably the work of Duane Pitre.

In 2019, after a five year period where Pitre did not focus on outward facing music, but instead on his own personal practice, a small idea in the form of a question came to him: would the combination of his latest computer- and electronic-based experiments, used in conjunction with justly tuned piano, produce interesting results; simply put, would it “work”? Concurrently, Pitre was studying a handful of Morton Feldman scores for their focus on tonal clusters, reading a book on Arvo Pärt’s life and work, and contemplating the pulse-based rhythms of Steve Reich and Phillip Glass.

In 2020, with no intention of making a new album, the composer tried to answer this question. The results would spawn five pieces that would become Omniscient Voices. On this new work, Pitre finds himself giving equal priority to both piano and electronics, utilizing his Max/MSP-based generative network to real-time convert precomposed piano motifs, into data, which is then used to communicate with two polyphonic, microtonal hardware synthesizers whose patches Pitre authored; this process generates the electronic component of the album. Pitre also utilizes controlled improvisation to interact with the piano-reactive electronics in a spontaneous and inspired manner, going back and forth between these two pianistic approaches. In all, this approach creates a “musical feedback loop” of sorts.

Despite Omniscient Voices being the culmination of 15 years of hard work and inspiration, this beautiful album somehow materialized in a natural, intuitive and effortless way (like any artist's best work.)

Mastered and cut by Golden and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity.

Artist's statement:
“When making the pieces that would become Omniscient Voices, I often viewed the piano as human action, a single note becoming a single gesture that has the potential to change the electronic environment, the electronics becoming the environment surrounding that human in the natural world, who then has the power to change their actions based on their surroundings. All actions have consequences. The interconnectedness of everything. Single actions making waves of change.”

RIYL: Arvo Pärt, Morton Feldman, Steve Reich, Phillip Glass

This is a mix that came out a few months back via the Electronic Music Culture series Atmospheres. It flew under the radar a bit so I thought I'd repost it here. It features a handful of artists who continually inspire me. The mix is anchored with the field recording of Champignonsdesbois and is called The World Is Full Of Noises.  

Below is the original blurb and full track listing that was posted at by E.M.C. at time of original release.

E.M.C. is thrilled to present the new guest of our Atmosphere playlist: Moss Covered Technology
Based in South West UK, Greig Baird debuted with the Moss Covered Technology alias in 2016 for Eilean Records. His works are inspired by the ideas and aesthetics emerging from the observation and experience of natural landscapes and environments, creating unique atmospheres. Since his debut, Greig has gone on to release ambient works for some prestigious labels reflecting his music taste, such as Hibernate Records, Polar Seas Recordings, and Dronarivm.

JOKE OF LUCID FATE tale written by @ventralisgolden
https://ventralisgolden.eu


Dozing in the hamlet, I could feel the collapse of space-time beneath my footsteps and heard the ellipsis of a small collection of magicians idly bathing in what seemed to be several hundred years of enchanting liquid.
As I wandered through a high-vaulted cosmological firmament, deep within the milieu of a magnificent catastrophe, I paused to admire the sloped flowerbeds.
Somehow the contemplation of these majestic air-blooms stimulated the realisation that I was dreaming. 

In the likeness of my lucid self, the already impressive splendour of the air-blooms appeared even more majestic where once they were invisible, and with great execution I began to explore the imaginary reason of why this castle in the cloud space, with all its ethereal murmurings, presented itself like pages of a codex upon which the living language of nature wrote itself.

A parabolic teaching, I thought. I could think as clearly as ever. I was in full resolution and dealing soundly in dream tones, tranquil, freely remembering the self before the two divergent footsteps fluttered into hemispheres and embedded in the database.

The inanimate seeds were dozing in the navel now, whilst upstream I came across a curious stamen protruding from the afterglow in the fading of a district down below. The substrate of this space-time swelled to fracture and at once I stood up as the vividness diminished to reveal an enormous subterranean chapel.
It was as if within the faded dithering of dawn there dwelled a creature, most curious and tormented, asleep yet perfectly aware inside this conscious refuge.

Following the twists of the stamen down I descended deeply to drench myself in dreaming more profoundly. The liquid was indeed enchanting, and the creature roused from out its slumbering mass as I approached. 
I pulled its shadow toward me and fused the twisted stamen to my navel. I strung the whole concerto of this polarity to blur me in the anima, a sloping downpour of hallucinations, a stalactite of invocations crystallised on the horizon of a single vision. 

Within the atom of a flowers poem all enquiries had been forgotten. 
The magicians still rotated mystically to what their delirium permitted, yet inside this single vision I sought yet another miasma. An idea that slept in the wingspan of the microbial imagination.  
who was dreaming who?

Campfire Stories (Earthscapes) by @funky_jeff

~ About The Story ~

“You wake in the deep woods of Québec, Canada. Alone in the cold north. You think you may have seen something lurking in the shadows. Or is your mind playing tricks on you? Your journey begins in ambient territory. From earth, to sea, to the deep clouds and then, to space. Each section, earth to space, is heralded by spoken words. Lifted into space, you then drift there for an endless amount of time, with nothing but headphones and ambient drones for company. Low frequencies included. Your Earthscapes journey has begun.” - Funky Jeff (Québec City, Canada)

On today’s podcast, we celebrate some of the pioneers of early electronic ambient music, with the help of a long-time contributor, Fingers in the Noise. Here are all of the first explorations into the then unnamed genre, sometimes referred to as avant-garde, new-music, or simply electronic music. Pictured for the cover art of this mix is Laurie Spiegel, an American composer, who, while working in Bell Laboratories in the early 70s, composed with analog synthesizers using interactive software she wrote herself. Some of this music is hard to come by, with the early experiments a bit difficult to digest, so I thank Laurent Bisch for his wonderful selection of tracks for this very special tribute.

The Island

03. Mirage

Summer afternoon... the country side. A sunny field. Blue skies above you and the smell of fresh warm air. Calmness. You lay down in a bed of grass, closing your eyes. Birds in the distance... the fluttering of small wings.
