JOHNNY ALLEN - EREBUSTARD

I have not taken part in the disquiet junto project since last year but on reading the email this week I instantly felt inspired. The concept described was very close to the way I love to work with source materials and pull them apart to create ambient sounds and textures, very much like Kintsugi process discussed.

For this piece I took one of my all time favourite ambient works by Brian Eno and pulled it apart. There are 3 layers of granular work recorded over the top of each other in different octaves. They start as one solid drone type texture and split apart into piano fragments then return again to the wholesome texture in the end. Similar to the breaking apart of things and the healing process.

I have enjoyed the process and the piece, hoping to have done it justice :-)

Stonecraft (disquiet0450)

A scream into music. I've had those dreams where I really need to scream but can't. Pressure building inside, fear, dread, painful, invisible like a cancer, growing and eating me from within. I open my mouth and--nothing. The organ that turns pain into sound has failed.

That's how I've felt since my close friend Martin passed away on August 15. Martin and I played music together for close to 10 years. We had lost another close friend and bandmate, Steve, just this April. 

It seems inadequate to say that his passing has left a hole. It feels like a gaping wound was torn through my chest and I can barely breathe, let alone scream or cry, just hurt and bleed. 

I bought the guitar shown in the video recently--it's the model Martin played (a Stratocaster), 1978, very beat up but functional. I usually play other guitars because that was his guitar, he really owned that sound. Listening to him play was like watching lightning in the distance at night, quiet, then a rumble and flash, fading and approaching, ebbing and flowing, beautiful. 

This piece of music just fell out of me. I don't have it in me to scream into a recorder. I'm pretty sure nothing would come out. Thanks for listening.

Gear used:
1978 Fender Stratocaster
Cuvave Fuzz
Dunlop mini-Wah
MXR Uni-Vibe
Hotone Krush
Vaux Flores DOSWave
Jamman XT Looper
TC Electronic Nova Delay
Recorded on my iphone using Sennheiser binaural microphones

Scanning An Ocean Of Sound (disquiet0455)

Fast And Bulbous (disquiet 0455)

A moment in the life of a jellyfish, as experienced by the jellyfish. In the spirit of a creature with no brain, I tried to not overthink this too much. I improvised on the Wave Evolve Pad preset on the Ableton Wavetable synth, randomized the filter cutoff with an LFO, ran it through the Planetarium preset on the Valhalla Supermassive reverb plug-in, added some pitched-down and reverbed bubbling sourced from freesound.org, and voila.
