Name: Color Noises by Igor Iofe
Duration: 6 min 47 s
Description: This improvisation has been performed on concert presentation of the "Live Electronics Course" held by Steim Studio Amsterdam led by Jos Zwanenburg on 29-04-2011. That was a farewell concert to "LiSa" (Live Sampling) Software.I was fascinated by the Wikipedia article about color noises therefore I have decided to trigger the sound samples of those noises by my own voice.

This is eerie, enaging and really good, love the muezzin type vocals.

that voice sounds so hunting, wow. trippy track indeed.

wow this is a mad sound track....like it tho

Well, THAT'S different. Definitely haven't heard anything like it, must have been fun to do, and it's certainly interesting to listen to.

You always have such interesting musical projects. I wouldn't hold my breath that this will top the world pop charts:-) But it is only through stretching and warping most people's extremely narrow concepts of music that music and music appreciation helps develop our overall art. I remember when synthesizers were considered weird and not for use in popular music! I really enjoyed your improvisation and experimentation.

Very artistic and unique. I really like your special style. It contains so much. Pain, wisdom, anger, fear, but so much more. Not only in this piece. Just the best to you also in 2023. Have a pleasant evening. 👋🏽👩🏽

This is certainly different ! Really interesting work with some great effects.

RITUAL
I preserve the little ritual,
so you can return anytime.

Every day, when evening falls,
I prepare the table: an extra plate,

cutlery, your own chair, a candle, a glass,
as if you just were delayed.

I hear (how could I think that what
makes me who I am, was gone forever?)

I hear, as if the house still existed,
the gravel, the latch, the dog barking,

and you come in at the moment
I light the lamp, arrange the flowers.

I just hope I can stay calm
and without looking up from my silent routine

find the words, as if it were self-evident:
sit down, help yourself, you were expected.

[Dutch poem]
RITUEEL
Ik houd het kleine ritueel in ere,
opdat je elk moment terug kunt keren.

Iedere dag, wanneer het avond wordt,
maak ik de tafel klaar: een extra bord,

bestek, je eigen stoel, een kaars, een glas,
alsof je enkel opgehouden was.

Ik hoor (hoe kon ik denken dat hetgeen
waardoor ik ben, voor altijd was verdwenen ?),

ik hoor, alsof de woning nog bestond,
het grind, de klink, het aanslaan van de hond,

en je komt binnen op het ogenblik
dat ik de lamp ontsteek, de bloemen schik.

Ik hoop alleen dat ik dan rustig blijf
en haast niet opziend van mijn stil bedrijf

de woorden vind, als was het vanzelfsprekend:
Schuif aan; tast toe: er is op je gerekend.

RITUEEL (mastered)

Here is a Piano and Trumpet Cover on "Titania" by @to_mi_nor The process of remastering and adding @igor-iofe-1 's trumpet to this composition was very enjoyable for both of us.

Legacy

LYRICS

Oh there's a girl in the corner of my tv.
(and I'm totally wasted)
And I don't know what any of it means.
(or how to translate it) 

Tired of wasting my Friday nights,
taking a chance on you.
Tired of working and getting nowhere,
drinking too much too. 
Cos everything's a bit shit,
and nothings going great.
The Frosty Jack's is going down,
I'm wasting half my days. 

Jobfinder coursing down the screen.
(and nobody reads it)
Slightly better than QVC.
(what everyone's leaving)

Cos everything's a bit shit,
and nothings going great.
This Frosty Jack's is going down,
I'm wasting half my days. 
Tired of wasting my Friday nights,
taking a chance on you.
Tired of working and getting nowhere,
drinking too much too. 

You told me everything was shit.
(but I couldn't face it)
You told me everything was a bit shit
(and I tried to chase it)


Jobfinder [with The Fall of Saigon]

Stonewall St Blues - Blind Blake 1927

Just a little something to Jazz-Up your day.

RON SNYDER - Sneakin' Around (Instrumental)

As the sunshine peers out,
from a rupture in the clouds,
winter turns and takes his bow. 
exit stage left, going down.
Applause fades away,
and the blacks into greys,
no colour's displayed. 

As the birds return to nests,
that the winds have almost wrecked,
The crows look on through hungry eyes,
spinning circles in the skies. 
Though the danger remains.
Hope the secrets are safe.
Almost nothing is sacred 

Distant hills create a frame,
joined up to the window pane.
a whole day which contains nought,
just a fragment of a thought.
Within or without.
The snow flys about.
Whilst we lay around. 

All your things placed in a line, 
as a way to pass the time, 
and though I guess what's yours is mine,
this final case is borderline.
You're falling awake.
As the time slips away.
Need a reason to stay. 

Though there's been lack of want,
could have seen it more up front.
Turn around you're back to front,
facing forward to the sun.
You're watching him play,
and you've nothing to say.
Nothing left to say. 

Moon companion in the sky.
Just a plane that's flying by,
in which people sit around,
listen carefully to the sounds. 
It's hope not dismay.
That the people remain.
As they're flying away.

Hi all, been expanding and playing around with my modular rack, adding in new  effects pedals, syncing across old and new equipment, always searching for a clear image. Hope you enjoy the trip. Played live during the second half of 2022. Cut, sequenced and polished in January 2023. Celebrating 10 years on Soundcloud. Peace to you all, the Shaman.
