Op Art Arpeggios (Disquiet0410)

This track is a response to a challenge from the Disquiet Junto: "What does the sonic equivalent of Op Art sound like?" 

In this piece, I first composed a small symphonic riff - and then cut everything up in pieces, like seeing a picture through a grid or a comb, to see if the idea of the original would "peek through" - or maybe even change character. I think it changed quite a bit; some parts gained importance, other disappeared and some got almost too intrusive. But I actually like it better like this... :)

disquiet0410 - broken syncphony

Using an image Jelie sent me from a mountain retreat I loaded it into Photosounder.
I then inverted it to get a more traditional OP black and white image. I then used the black and white tools to draw trees using the tools. 

I then took the inverted image’s sound, duplicated and reversed it. I then took the “drawn” inverted images sound, duplicated and reversed it. Using these 4 sounds I grouped them in Live to a looper and EQ.

I then dialed in some drums on the Roland DJ 808 drum sequencer for the 606, 707,808, 909 drum banks. I then used the MIDI fighter routed to a drum kit with a looper to capture a phrase that I then folded into the group Loop chain.

Las Ruinas Circulares: an electronic collage incorporating some of the eponymous work by Jorge Luis Borges first published in 1940 in the literary journal Sur.

Are we the dreamer or the dream? The act of creation is one of pain but also of necessity. The culture of judgement and personal responsibility posits the guilt of the agent. but is there agency, or does the house of cards rest on nothing at all; a supposition? Are we a construct of images, pasted together from scraps of memory?

Voices raised in dream:
- modular (rings, pams, sloths, 2hp arp, 
- rhodes
- valhalla
- Drumbrite, SSF entity
- flatwound
- torpid scorpion

disquiet0478 collage level math

My audio collage was made by setting up two radio music modules, one playing banks of unfinished tracks I'd done and another filled with audio recorded from public radio. I also set up the radio receiver on a Koma Field Kit to live scan an FM band, whilst the sources were triggered and scrubbed by a complex rats' nest of clock synced LFOs.
I can't really call it a composition as it was me simply setting up a process and documenting the chance encounter. Somewhat fortuitously the Field Kit locked onto a local station broadcasting Covid public service announcements hence the title. Consequently the mix is very rough and unpolished and the chance interplays of radio snippets is best heard on headphones.

Radio Covid (disquiet0478)

i took this weeks project as an impetus to just cut and paste something together, didn't let the "musical" side put me off, just revelled in the excuse to splice and juxtapose the contents of my recorder - some sounds recorded intentionally for this project, most just what was there; fragments snatched over the past three months or so.

///

... some pink noise, an aubergine being chargrilled, nextdoor's bins, a ventilation system, a brief hydrophone recording, a waterfall, a self-service check-out, various birds, some metal stairs, traffic, rain, ice, snow, various paperbags, a train station tannoy, a malfunctioning videocall, a dehumidifier, gulls, small pieces of plastic, wind, demolition work...

///

it's my age and inclination, i think, but i am deeply enamoured with collage and assemblage aesthetics; the way the world necessarily leaks in to even the most perverse and hermetic project; the way you can sort of synthesise the sheer abundance of the world; a nest of implications and connections; the way things become strange when they're oblided to be in overlap or proximity.

///

i used no effects on the final piece beyond a little panning at times, a little EQ-ing; some of the files and chopped into the thing had been processed, but for the most part - as the relentless bumps of mic-handling shoud indicate, the component sounds are essentially unprocessed.

time and room enough here [disquiet0478]

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Music, videos, cartography.
