Description:
Whilst on a my daily walk around the neighbourhood, I looked down at my white socks and wondered what sounds would be heard if I slipped my iPhone into my socks and pressed record? My initial thoughts were granular synthesis using my Granie synthesiser. It was very much a case of expecting weird stuff not knowing what sounds it may pick up. Five passages in White Socks: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All using the sounds from the white socks passed through the Granie granular synthesiser to provide inspiration for performances on Soma hardware synthesisers Lyra 8, Enner and The Pipe. The Soma COSMOS provided the echo chamber that talks to the musician, the musician responds. Both the Lyra 8 and Enner were driven by my human hands, turning dials or activating sensitive touch pads. The Soma Pipe was driven by my human voice. Final multi-track recording by my Granie and FindTheBeat digital software based synthesiser/recording systems. Keeping it human, no AI used here!

Track 1: White Socks - Monday
Sounds of foot steps as heard by socks,
Slow at first,
Every crackle and creak,
Other ambient sounds,
Pace builds up,
Sock sounds enter Granular synthesis,
Sounds re-imagined,
Lyra 8 interprets.

Track 2: White Socks - Tuesday
Echos of granulised sock sounds,
Shifting delays,
Tentative touches of Lyra 8,
Like shifting sands,
The Granular socks come and go,
Washing over Lyra 8.

Track 3: White Socks - Wednesday
Tides of granular socks,
Swaying rhythms of the Enner,
Walker journey continues,
Is it bird song,
Or is it Enner speaking?

Track 4: White Socks - Thursday
Tidal remnants of the grains float past,
Walker responds through the Pipe,
Grains answer back,
Ever present steps of the walker,
Stirring the grains.

Track 5: White Socks - Friday
Grains intertwine and reverberate,
Lyra 8 interrupts,
Pauses for a moment,
Walker contemplates,
Lyra beckons.


Granular synthesis in Granie release 6.2 using the new graphical sequencer. The Soma COSMOS played the roles of reverb and taking fragments of sounds from the Lyra 8, Pipe and Enner replaying them in creative ways as directed by the performer. Each of the five passages of a continuity of theme, using the rhythmic choices of the previous passage as a starting point, then changing them. 

Tuning of the granular synthesiser was a simple harmonic series of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 with the master reference frequency of 6 Hz. Because it was granular synthesis, this 6 Hz was the replay frequency of the grains, length of grains (in milliseconds) was varied. There were up to four voices with their root notes as follows: voice 1 tuned at 6 Hz, voice 2 tuned a perfect fourth a 4/3 ratio at 8 Hz, voice 3 tuned 4 octaves up a ratio of 16/1 at 96 Hz. Occasionally a fourth voice came into play at 0.346 Hz, again tuned in a harmonic series, with the root tuned 4949 cents below the master reference frequency of 6 Hz. The negative 4949 cents (4 octaves and 139 cent), seems like an odd ball tuning, it's root note was tuned by ear, I liked it, so kept it.

The Soma Pipe algorithms used were Orpheus (twin resonant reverberators), Filtera (resonant band pass filter) and Drum #1.

White Socks - Thursday

Feel the heat and drone of the sacred didgeridoo, as the expanse of the great Australian Outback hits your senses; you feel a magic in the land, and hidden forces you can't understand.

Ayres Rock

This joyful circular song was inspired from our one month stay in Alto Pariso, Brazil where we immersed ourselves in nature and Daily satsang's with Prem Baba. 
   This sweet little Humming bird also know as Beija Flor in Portuguese ( Beija = he/she kisses & Flor = Flowers) reminds us to live life with a joyful heart and to drink/kiss the nectar of life. We had a blissful time sharing this on at recent 2015 EU Hearts Wide Open Tour.

Poem by Tere, music by Intop

O que Viemos cá Fazer

Quanto tempo….
Quanto tempo...
E Fomo-nos encontrar.... neste tempo
E estamos aqui ao som da música…
Quantas vidas
Teremos de passar
Para nos voltarmos a encontrar...
Um dia chegará.... 
Um dia chegará
Nós sabemos 
A alma não nos deixa esquecer...
E pelos caminhos mais sinuosos que temos de percorrer
Vamo-nos sempre encontrar…sempre
Para num olhar recordar
O que viemos cá fazer.
É algo mais profundo…
Mais profundo que estes dois corpos que caminham sobre esta terra...
Tão profundo….que não nos deixa adormecer
Que não nos deixa adormecer...
As nossas almas flutuam
Como uma folha dança com o vento
E rodopiam, e rodopiam, e rodopiam...
Nesta dança da Vida...
Nesta dança da Vida...

O Que Viemos Cá Fazer *Poem with Harp (Tere & Intop)

Tribe calling

RXNL MMXIX Edit

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

AS IF ( Jyoti Graziano )

כנפיים נפתחות 
ממריאות אל השמיים 
נזכרת יש בתוכי אור אינסופי

לתת לראש מרגוע
לשקט לנבוע

ורק להיות ורק להיות
לא למהר לשום מקום

ורק לנשום ורק לנשום
לתת ללב להיפתח
לתת לו מקום 
להרגיש את הכל משתנה

כנפיים נפרשות
מלטפות את השמיים
נזכרת יש בתוכי אור אינסופי

לתת ללב מרגוע
לשקט לנבוע

ורק להיות  ורק להיות
לא להגיע לשום מקום

ורק לנשום ורק לנשום
לתת ללב להתרחב לתת לו מקום
לשחרר את הכל, לשחרר

כנפיים מאירות 
מתמזגות עם השמיים
נכרת יש בתוכי אור אינסופי

ורק להיות ורק להיות
לא לברוח לשום מקום
ורק לנשום ורק לנשום
לתת ללב להתאהב
לתת לו מקום
