Film Noir sound design for Creative Sound & Music/Photo Art course collaboration project. This piece was played through headphones to accompany the 35mm black and white stills for our groups project at the exhibition. The brief was to create an AV project for an extract from the film The Man With The Golden Arm. I arranged this to the script to resemble the delicate mental state of the main character. Recorded at Gregynog House, Powys, Wales in January 2014 by Simon Gore, Harish Jariwala and Paul Jones. Using the residential instruments and found sounds of Gregynog House. Live improvisations by Simon Gore, Harish Jariwala and Paul Jones

Gregynog Noir

CSM first year final project for Making Tracks module. Composition method was based upon John Cage's indeterminacy concept of graphic scores. All performances were first take improvisations in the dark to nothing but the guide track and a indeterminacy photograph of extreme close up visual texture, used as a graphic score. 7/4 guitar written and performed by Simon Gore. Guitar improvisation by Simon Gore. Extended technique acoustic piano and vocoder improvisations performed and composed by Harish Jariwala. Vocal improvisation performed and composed by Luke Florence. Produced and titled by Harish Jariwala

SHEWILLDOANYTHINGFORSILKCUT

audio track from an AV project for CSM first year Political Economy & Music module. The original track had an electronic voice over dictating the relevance of the still images in relation to the subject, but I muted it because it sucked. This was performed with philosophical first take improvisations on a Casio CZ5000, Novation Bass station and electric guitar with various effects including the Recovery Effects Bad Comrade. Recorded with a mono Stealth Plug into audacity on a laptop borrowed from Oli Montez. Written and performed by Simon Gore

Every Revolution Needs An Anthem

Skeleton House is the collaborative instrumental noise project of Simon Gore and Harish Jariwala. Harish live samples my guitar signal and makes soundscapes and melodies with the manipulated and reborn signals through an MPC2000XL. We then improvise jam to the live loops/samples. The beauty of this project is that the performance is completely individual every time as the MPC has no internal memory. So all of the sounds have to be built up from scratch at the start of the jam. Harish does not know what I will send him and I do not know what he will sample. The results are exemplified here. This recording was made in Harish’s living room with only single speaker Fender 85 and an SM57, recorded with a Marantz PMD660 solid state field recorder.

This recording was made in Harish’s living room with a guest performance from his house mate, Asher. Only one SM57 was used between 2 amps with the speakers facing each other, recorded with a Marantz PMD660 solid state field recorder.

This is a sideways picture of a cool dog that has no relevance to the track other than that I saw it. Compilation of minimally manipulated tape noise from a Dynachord Echochord super and the forgotten ends of cassette tapes played through a Denon DRW-760 cassette deck. The first of more...
