Bella And The Litehouse - Please Don't Squeeze

on March 18th of 2022, our discord members were given a sample and had to make a song within 24 hours using the given sample for our first snare society sample challenge.  with 44 tracks made within a 24 hour time frame and genres spanning all over, this comp showcases the raw talent this community has.

the sample we used was from someone who turned out to be a not-so-cool dude, so we're not associating with them.  we're still keeping this comp up, we just don't want to give said not-so-cool dude any attention.

ratio + the bron jame better

THE PMC X SNARE SOCIETY SAMPLE PACK SWAP CHALLENGE!

For this event, we peened up with the Snare Society cummunity to bring the public a THROBBING NEARLY 4GB 1K+ SAMPLES SAMPLE PACK! YES BRO!!! MORE THAN ONE THOOUUSAND SAMPLES!! For a week, like our previous sample pack albums, we opened up dropbox's for our members to submit any type of samples they would like us to use to make songs out of! Except this time there was a twist 😳 . The samples we submitted were given to Snare Society to use, and the samples Snare Society submitted were given to us to use. We all had 48 hours to create a track using the respective packs to represent each cummunity and it became a super s(lol replace the s with a d LOL)ick swap challenge. 

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY, AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT SIDE B OF THE EVENT OVER AT SNARE SOCIETY!!!!

Description:
Dodecahedrons, frequency modulation (FM) networks, free tuning of hardware synthesisers and the sounds of a forest at dusk all come together in this suit, Dusk.

The title is inspired from that magic time when daylight begins to give way to darkness -- dusk. The insects begin to sing,
the forest becomes alive with other sounds. Dusk is an imagined journey into the forest at dusk.

1: Dusk Movement 1
The sun has set, the wind has calmed down, insects and creatures of the forest come out to sing. A normally quiet time except for the chorus from the forest that is slowly building up. A time to reflect on life. In German, we call it the Dämmerstuendchen, a time to sit in semi darkness as light from the sun fads, complemented by sip of a good Australian red wine with a friend. The nocturnal creatures begin to wake and say hello to each other, the bats, owls and possums. 

2: Dusk Movement 2
A distant rhythm of drums are heard, the Cicadas. The birds from tree tops have their brief say. The crickets decide to join in again. Possums scurry from tree to tree. A sugar glider sweeps past.

3: Dusk Movement 3
A breeze picks up, the din of the insects give way to singing trees.

4: Dusk Movement 4
The wind stirs some more, swirling into the caves, awaking the bats, emerge from the cave, flying into the forest.

5: Dusk Movement 5
The wind dies down. The crickets emerge again, the owls fly past. The trees cover the forest in a comforting blanket. Nocturnal marsupials looking for morsels. All settle back to their nests before the sun rises again.

This project has been on the building books and sketch books for a while now. It all started with someone posting an article on the "Mathematical Tiling and Tessellation" FaceBook group about five side shapes (Pentagon) in nature. I was then curious about networking several of these Pentagons for a tuning system, turns out you can connect twelve of these to form a closed surface called a dodecahedron. A very common musical scale in Western music uses twelve notes equally dividing the octave. I started a music project using a scale based upon twelve notes printed on a paper dodecahedron, the notes you would see as you rotated the dodecahedron, that project is still ongoing. This led on to thoughts about how such a shape could lead to a physical instrument -- more trials, more ruminations during my exercise walks. Now, fast forward to Nov/Dec 2025, the pentagon was reduced to a triangle and the closed surface of the dodecahedron was reduced to an open surface triangulation with one pocket.

Eight triangles, eight vertices. My Push2 midi controller, has eight main rotary encoders and eight columns of note pads. An FM synthesiser at it's core has three inputs, a carrier frequency, modulation amplitude and frequency of modulation. Can you see the pattern? The triangles form the topology of the FM synthesis sound generation, the surface the human machine interface. The Push2 as the prototype.

Find your self a quiet time to listen to Dusk with a set of good headphones or stereo speakers. Lots of timbre evolutions, small detailed changes and an evolving spatial movement of sound voices.

Dusk Movement 2

Serene Heaven

Une immersion sonore durant 7 jours au Phare de Cordouan, situé en pleine mer, à plusieurs kilomètres de la côte Atlantique.
Départ de nuit un vendredi de février 2023. Nous rejoignons le phare dans la navette fluviale, avec l’équipe du bateau et les deux gardiens, qui relèvent le binôme sur place depuis 15 jours.  Aux premières lueurs du jour je n’en mène pas large quand il faut enfiler le wader, tenue étanche indispensable pour se mettre à l’eau et marcher du bateau jusqu’à l’entrée du phare. Une dizaine de mètres, pas plus, mais avec de l’eau jusqu’à la taille et en portant son matériel à bout de bras. Rien de plus banal pour les gardiens, qui échangent quelques phrases et accolades avec leurs deux collègues sur place depuis une quinzaine,  avant de se séparer. 
Nous voilà arrivés, isolés sur le plateau de Cordouan jusqu’à la prochaine relève dans 7 jours. Ma première impression est le calme et la sérénité qui règnent. Le roi des Phares, comme il est surnommé, nous domine de toute sa splendeur et le brouillard présent ce jour-là ajoute une touche mystique.
Durant cette semaine je vais avoir la liberté d’arpenter de long en large les lieux. Ici, la notion de temps change et l’on vit au rythme de la lune. Je marche de longues heures sur l’estran, plateau rocheux et sablonneux,  découvert seulement à marée basse. Je capte le fracas des vagues de l’océan au loin, les vaguelettes qui viennent s’échouer le long de la digue, les cris perçants des goélands et les piaillements des tournepierres. Cette quiétude est seulement perturbée par quelques rares passages d’un avion militaire. Mais le son le plus caractéristique de ce lieu est pour moi celui des balanes. Ces crustacés marins fixés au mur d’enceinte extérieur du phare, présents par milliers, et qui produisent un son très particulier (à écouter entre 7m20s et 7m50s). 
A marée haute, entouré par les flots, j’enregistre depuis les toits terrasses le déferlement des vagues, le bruit du vent qui s’engouffre dans les moindres interstices du phare et produit d’étranges résonnances. Je monte et descend les 301 marches qui font résonner mes pas et admire le coucher de soleil  depuis la salle de la lanterne, le point culminant du phare.  
Cette expérience unique et hors du temps,  j’ai souhaité la retranscrire sur une écoute immersive de 10 minutes. Je souhaite qu’elle puisse vous faire voyager et apprécier l’atmosphère de ce lieu magique. 

Merci au SMIDDEST et Marie Laure Cardenau d’avoir rendu cette aventure possible.
Merci aux gardiens du phare, Benoit et Thomas, de m’avoir accueilli et laissé partager leur quotidien durant ces 7 jours.
