The long, long river
A single line
On the snowy plain

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think about how a gradient functions, as one thing transitions into another.

Step 2: Make a short piece of music that aims to explore the idea of a gradient in sound.

As mentioned on a previous junto, lately, when I have time, I’m recycling old masters I got back this summer from a publisher deal, I have dozens of 10 or 15 years old tracks to re-listen, re-work and release or use at will.
For this junto I decided to do a gradient between two old tracks: one completely electronic (synths and treatments) and one acoustic (live in the studio performance with actual musicians and instruments)
It starts with the electro-drone song , and instead of just crossfading volumes between tracks I decided to make my own interpretation of gradient: the second song’s tracks start unmuting one by one, starting with the flute and some percussion, then bass, etc, while the first song’s tracks start fading or muting one by one.
To make things interested, the first song is in the key of Bb major, while the second plays around A major and A minor, so the long middle section of this track, where the mutation happens, is in two superimposed keys, providing dissonance and instability instead of the original track’s clear mood.

A year ago, we recorded our first joint track with Ilaria (https://soundcloud.com/crazycompass/ilaria-boffa-foreign), and then we agreed that we would do another one later in which each of us will read own poem in native language. Everything coincided. "We translated our voices into exact references and wording. Now, hear."

TRADUZIONI (Ilaria Boffa)

Una precisa geografia di pioppi bianchi
frassini e aceri circonda quest’area fluviale.
Narrazione di fruscii, conversazioni rumorose.
Traduzioni. Ciò che sentiamo e il linguaggio
udibile implicano indagini
sui modi di ascolto dell’altro.
In dubbio l’affettività, il riverbero degli oggetti
che scontra soggetti oltre noi.
Dentro quei metri cubi di suolo e aria
il suono prende spazio, costruisce e colpisce.
Neuro-trasforma e impatta la plasticità
delle cose.
Abbiamo tradotto le nostre voci in
riferimenti e formulazioni. Ora, ascoltami.

TRANSLATIONS 

A clear geography of silver poplars
ashes and maples surrounds this fluvial area.
A narrative of rustles, chatting loudly.
Translations. What we hear and the language
that makes it audible imply investigations
on others’ listening modes.
We question affectivity, objects’ reverbs
crashing into beings beyond us.
Inside those cubic metres of soil and air
noise spacialises, builds and hits.
It neuroshapes and impacts the plasticity
of things.
We translated our voices into exact
references and wording. Now, hear.

ГЕОГРАФИЯ (Nata Boundariver)

На свете так много мест, куда я не смогу попасть.
Попасть бы хотя бы туда, где я есть.
Почти нигде и почти никогда.
Забытое слово я.

GEOGRAPHY 

There are so many places in the world where I cannot get.
Get at least where I am.
Almost nowhere and almost never.
Forgotten word I'm.

Geography of Translations (Ilaria Boffa & Crazy Compass)

This is stub of our collab piece for the Disquiet Junto Jam Time 2021. It is inspired by a patch by Omri Cohen and follows his idea of unsynced loops that I found relieving. For a long time my hesitation with electronic music creation was the idea of proper syncronisation...
