silent percussion(disquiet0607)

I had started out with the assignment yesterday… today, I re-read the instructions and found that I might have been on a wrong track. Is it 0-40-60-0 of overall volume? Or the ratio of sound to silence in the overall piece? 

Not being totally sure about this, I started to carve out bits and pieces from the track. I removed most of the underlying drone, dimmed it down to 40 percent maximum, cut off reverb tails, removed some notes, trying to get the „guitar“ part in front.

Disquiet Junto Project 0607: Silence Wave 

The Assignment: From close to zero and back again, alter the relative amount of sound to silence in a piece of music.

There’s just one step to this project:

Compose a piece of music in which the relative amount of sound to silence starts at zero (that is, no sound), rises to approximately 40 percent (that is, 60 percent silent) and returns to zero again. Keep the pace fairly steady.

Background: This project builds on the two previous ones. You needn’t have done them; do give them some consideration. In the first of the two, each participant composed a piece of music with as much silence as notes. In the second, each composed a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound. Jason Richardson proposed the first project in what has since become a sequence. As that project unfolded, Klaus-Dieter Hilf (aka RabMusicLab) commented that maybe the instruction should have read “sound” in place of “notes.” Since the first project went well, a subsequent project increased the amount of silence, and implemented Hilf’s proposal. This project takes it a step further still.

Caterpillar  (Naviarhaiku 503 )

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0608 (see below for details);
A field recording made on an IC train in the Netherlands (and already used for the track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/aankomst-amsterdam-zuid) was fed into the free transcription tool https://editor.flixier.com/transcribe/. The resulting Spanish text was translated into English. The free text-to-speech tool https://ttsfree.com/ was then used to create the voice pronouncing this text.

The field recording and the voice are accompanied by various instruments improvised to the existing soundscape.

The track-title is one of the translated sentences the AI has thought to recognize from the sounds of the train's interior.

The lyrics created by this magical approach are:

Marta,
Educates,
Alicia.
Thank you.
For if we are to what we are.
I have,
I don't know to yes.
Left number, the B.
Yes,
no nothing.
All right,
Miles,
I love me.

Sorry, Marta.
Thank you, Marta.
Don't go on.

Synth track inspired by haiku by John Hinks

Deep, dark Summer night
A sudden shaft of moonlight
Blesses the temple

BREAKINDUSTRIALCORE (by.XEROZZ)

In the hollow womb of the Void, where gods are torn apart and screams are older than stars, a hatred was carved into reality — and named XAL’THEROTH.

He is the rot in celestial flesh. The unspoken scream at the heart of silence. Born not of blood, but of blasphemy.

His voice is decay. His breath is ash. His arrival is not witnessed

A ritual to awaken the chained horror beneath existence.

XAL’THEROTH does not listen… he consumes.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
