Danny Clay - Part 4

Photo: La Paz, Bolivia 2013, pixels on purpose...

Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

Talk It Up

From dusk to dawn with two pairs of cranes and one or two single male contenders. In this recording you will hear almost infrasound (80-200 Hz) growls and heavy panting as the males chase each other in the wetland and of course the trumpeting of cranes through the night. An amazing experience to be this close. Huddunge, Uppsala. April 9, 2024.

AMB82 Nature Roomtones: Deserts 3

Recording 4222.	Wetland Night (1).	12th May ’24 – 10.51pm.		10m05.	Near School Garden.		440’s & the MixPre3.  At nineteen seconds the distant Common Cranes begin to call.  They stop at 3m27.  Species present are Sedge Warbler, Common Snipe, Corncrake and Spotted Crake, Bittern, Common Sandpiper and Lapwing.  At around 6m35 some birds fly over.  Rated 9.
Sunday the 12th of May 2024. Woke up a bit late, around 3.45am or so, got ready as quickly as I could and went first to the garden and placed the NT4 (Omni capsules) at the old house at the end of the Nature School garden and pointing up at the big trees.  Made my way to the piece of forest where I had been recording the evening chorus along the new road, set up the 8020’s going into the MixPre, 56db gain, I had this recorder going by 4.30am.  Then onto the meadow at the end of the new road, had it recording by 4.47am.  I missed a little of the start but there was no way to always wake up on time, didn’t know why the phone alarm would not work, it was probably only something simple.  The weather was beautiful and calm, quite cold at only 3C, there was a slight frost on the grass when going back to the house.  Nothing to do while the systems record, only stand there keeping away from the mics but keeping watch, being aware of a rogue shower for instance, and maybe if anyone was around, unlikely but good to keep a casual watch.  Back at the house I soon put the recorder out again, this time outside the door (MixPre & 8020’s) as the sounds in the garden were very nice.  Slept for a lot of the morning, later before lunch I got a text from Andrus saying he was around for a lot of the morning but he knew I might be sleeping.  I would not have minded if he knocked on the door, however we met up and talked for quite a while.   The British people staying at the other house were very good and appeared at the door with the bread and something else I wanted from the shop.  After tea I went to the piece of forest along the new road to record the evening chorus.  Had all three recorders out, the MixPre3 with the MKH8020’s, a gain of 65db.  The NT4 and the X8 and finally the Warm Audio 84’s with the DR100.  I wanted to capture the chink-chink calls at dusk of the Blackbird.  Oddly they didn’t do much of it that evening and the bit that I got was mainly distorted.  Back at the house I noticed that the sounds coming from the opposite side of the river were interesting so I set up the Lewitts and the MixPre and let it record for a while, the first minutes are best, this is where the very distant Common Cranes trumpet, the sound reverberating around the area, taking a few seconds to die away completely.

Wetland Night (1) - 12th May 2024 at 10.51pm - Palupohja

A nice fall song with just a little bit of energy.  I recorded this using my Korg Radias onto my loop pedal, using the arpeggiator on the keyboard and improvising over that with the bass line.

From the album 2024


GERADE

Gerade denk' ich, gerade fühl' ich
Gerade will ich, gerade heraus
Kein hin und her, gerade heraus: ich will mehr!

Gerade fühl' ich, gerade denk' ich
Gerade will ich, gerade heraus
Jetzt und hier, gerade heraus von mir zu Dir

Kein Verbiegen und kein Hin und Her
Kein Irgendwann und auch nicht irgendwer

Gerade jetzt ist alles gerade
Gerade muss es gerade sein
Gerade heraus, gerade Du
Gerade ich, gerade wir vereint
Gerade!

Gerade fühl' ich, gerade leb' ich
Gerade bin' ich, gerade im Jetzt
Kein irgendwann, gerade jetzt, gerade dann

Gerade fühl' ich, gerade leb' ich
Gerade bin' ich, gerade im Jetzt
Kein Schritt zurück, geradeaus Stück für Stück

Kein Verbiegen und kein Hin und Her
Kein Irgendwann und auch nicht irgendwer

Gerade jetzt ist alles gerade
Gerade muss es gerade sein
Gerade heraus, gerade Du
Gerade ich, gerade wir vereint
Gerade!

Gerade ist es gerade so
Geradewegs durch das Nirgendwo

Gerade

An excerpt from dawn (from an unattended longer recording running from late afternoon to early morning) featuring a Grey Shrike-thrush who flew in close to the microphone rig, assuming various singing positions in relation to the microphones. The first-heard singing in this segment is that of a more distant Crested Bellbird, which continues throughout; the nearby Grey Shrike-thrush begins singing from 00:47.

This recording was made with a microphone rig comprising four supercardioid microphones in an IRT Cross /double NOS array. This is the raw original recording (all four tracks), without further gain, EQ, processing, or editing.

Recorded respectfully and mindfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

2024.08.11 Grey Shrike-thrush, with Crested Bellbird. Dawn. Winter's End.

Shibui is a simple, unobtrusive beauty that expresses original imperfection and intelligent restraint. The track titles are based on various polysemantic aspects of Japanese aesthetics and culture.

Miyabi – elegant, understated sophistication.

Raku – The art of hand-molding ceramics, which allows each piece to have its own unique, rough, uneven appearance and texture.

Wabi – unpretentious simplicity.

Mono No Aware – the sad charm of things.

Iki – an elegant, refined manifestation of beauty that combines seductiveness, composure, and modesty.

Nendouryoku – psychokinesis and telekinesis.

Sabi – archaism, genuineness, authenticity, peace of mind in loneliness.

Sumi-e – monochrome ink painting.

Sayonara is not just a farewell, it is a word spoken when someone no longer expects to meet. It is a farewell forever.

Yo! and thank you for checking  this out
You’re listening to a live jam from Austin, TX
This is an experiment: listening for you, growth w/ every iteration for me
It’s music for meditations, AM reading, and just closing your eyes
Maybe a backdrop for a small part of your day? Soundtracking your walk or hike
Surely for relaxation with a bit of hope, but also with a touch of melancholy
So please chill out and relax
*this track is also part of #jamuary2025 Track 14 of 31
