Time To Bern1 (disquiet0599)

minimalism on my (main) instrument lately. a few recordings directly into TE's TX-6

8 oscillators(disquiet0599)

recorded drones and noise using a VST synth, along with a recording of some mouth noises into inner ocean 4track to make lil loops. altered speed playback direction and EQ of those loops, and then faded them in and out for the final mix. The master bus had some compression and reverb, and i used soundhack bubbler for a granular delay effect on the master bus.

There are seven drones here (assorted softsynths, including Arturia Pigments). Two of them are ‘doubled’ and linked to give them a ‘dancing in and out’ effect. One simple percussion line comes in towards the middle to guide it to its ending.

All done in Ableton Live.

My attempt at the 599th disquiet junto assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts (https://disquiet.com/0599/)
Also my first my first submission to any of this ever

The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.

The idea for this piece was to have, on the one hand, some looping/repeating audio, and on the other hand looping/repeating audio effect automation. And then to create a piece on the fly by routing the audio into the effects channels, using a ‘matrix mixer’.
And then the hope was to have all of these patterns - patterns of played notes and patterns of changing effects - interact in interesting and unexpected, emerging, minimal-music like, ways.
Which, listening back, maybe happens… in some places… a little? But generally: not so much. 

That said, I’m not unhappy with the thing that came out of this little experiment. The piece has an interesting atmospheric feel to it, I think, not in the least due to the fact that I had the window open when recording (playing the bass part live while at the same time doing the routing of the audio). The wind and street noises - cars, seagulls - coming in and being fed into the effects chains, work rather well.

Minimal Blend - disquiet0599

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend (part 3 of a Disquiet Junto Éliane Radique themed project done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern)

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0599 discussion thread:
My original intent was to create something very experimental but this evolved into more of an ambient soundscape. I tried to keep it within the minimal description but might have strayed a little beyond that in some sections. I used seven parts that I morphed and modulated using various effects (see below) in Ableton Live. An additional track using Audio Things Noises was used to create a foundation. 

The following plugins/effects were used: Slate+Ash Choreographs and Landforms, Sugar Bytes Aparillo, Amazing Noises Grain Scanner (M4L), Bleass Granulizer, Audio Damage Other Desert Cities, Strymon Big Sky and Eventide Blackhole.

The Real Ones

City Diaries
Bruno Bernard 2024
(english)
"City Diaries" is a refection on our city lives, a daily imaginary journey that invites us to
introspection. Te world of sound that surrounds us is experienced in a unique way by
each and every one of us, yet we all share it.
Each stroll is unique, each moment unique.
It's up to us to make these situations our own, to build our own dream cosmology.
Considering the creative power of what surrounds us as a tool for inner construction, as
poetry, is a response to our materialistic lives and can help us better apprehend the
modern world.
True to Gaston Bachelard, the aim here is to give free rein to daydreaming, while at the
same time giving full artistic expression to the noise of our times, an essential concept
developed by Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries was composed from sounds collected at night in my city (Chalon sur
Saône), which gave rise to an imaginary vocabulary for this acousmatic piece.
Our sound context is a refection of our times, and it's up to us to seize it and, like
modern alchemists, appropriate one of the last things that is free - noise - and transform
it into a work of art. Fortunately, it's one of the last things we have free access to.

« City Diaries » est une réfexion autour de nos vies citadines, un parcours imaginaire
quotidien qui nous invite à l'introspection. L'univers sonore qui nous entoure, à la fois
ressenti de manière unique par chacun d'entre nous, nous est pourtant commun, nous
l'avons en partage.
Chaque déambulation est singulière, chaque moment est unique.
C'est à nous de nous approprier ces situations afn de construire une cosmologie onirique
qui nous soit propre.
Envisager la puissance créative de ce qui nous entoure comme un outil de construction
intérieure, une poésie, est une réponse à nos vies matérialistes et peut nous aider à mieux
appréhender le monde moderne.
Fidèle à Gaston Bachelard, il s'agit ici de laisser libre cours à la rêverie et en même temps
donner toute son importance artistique au bruit de notre époque, concept essentiel
développé par Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries a été composé à partir de sons collectés de nuit dans ma ville (Chalon sur
Saône) qui ont donné naissance à un vocabulaire imaginaire permettant de construire
cette pièce acousmatique.
Notre contexte sonore est le refet de notre époque, à nous de nous en emparer pour, tels
des alchimistes modernes, s'approprier une des dernières choses qui soit gratuite -le
bruit- et le transformer en oeuvre artistique. C'est heureusement une des dernière chose
qui soit nous accessible librement.
