Squelcher - 20190427

This composition was made as part of the Disquiet project. The German word “rauschen” means a murmur, a rumble, a whisper, any continuous kind of noise. The American artist Robert Rauschenberg, student of John Cage, winner of the Venice Biennale's Golden Lion in 1964 (infamously due to CIA meddling making him an unwitting Cold War pawn), and famous for his collage-based brand of painting.  

For "il rumore della spiaggia" I grabbed recordings from my archive, all recorded in the Italian village of Pisciotta (SA). These include the sound of the sea on rocks, bugs in the surrounding hillsides, electrical hums and drones, and cars and scooters in the distance.  I mixed them, entirely unprocessed, with just editing, panning, and fades.

This week’s project is the first of three being done in collaboration with Musikfestival Bern, which runs in Switzerland from September 11 – 15, 2019. More details at:

sounds from march, 2020: newsfeed roundup, optimism and fear, how are you otherwise?, a love letter to L, recall time before, embrace afterward.

made with two technics, a pair of pedals, and an aux via virtual DJ. recorded onto tape and a TASCAM, edited for fun. 

hope you enjoy, as much as one can. - mh
