Track number 9 from the upcoming album 'Seafields' available from Dronarivm 260321

'She & Him' - Seafields - [Dronarivm, 2021]

prepared improvisation. moonlight and constant cleansing waters.

i originally created this piece for the 85th disquiet junto (http://disquiet.com/2013/08/15/disquiet0085-3parts/). however, as my track finished uploading, i re-read the rules, and it seems i completely misremembered the week's theme...i basically disqualified myself at the last minute for not sticking to the format. i had thought the directions were to assemble a song from a melody, background layer, and field recording.

with those constraints in mind, i recorded a few audio sessions directly to cassette tape, playing all parts by hand, without midi, sync, or sequencing. after tracking the sparse juno 106 arps (run through a couple of strymon effects pedals), i improvised the main piano melody over the top. the cassette tape was then tracked into audacity and ardour, so that i could duplicate/rearrange a few of the juno passages and add the field recording: a hidden fountain i discovered during a recent late-night walkabout.

despite not adhering to the junto theme, i liked the resulting moody mix of improvised passages and post-process arrangement. it reflects my nighttime wandering through quiet, empty streets.

I believe in miracles, light in the darkness, the Savior, life after death...

Nick Angeloni is a composer, audio engineer, pianist and synthesist who releases work under the name n-So.

One of the hallmarks of Nick's fantastic 2018 album 'A Stroke of Blue' is its careful balance of felted piano and electronics — it's an album that's full of accessible moments that twist in just the right way. Depending on the listener, the album's x-factor could be the unexpected textures, or it could be a chord that perfectly roots an ambient soundscape.

Speaking with Nick, I was reminded how tense the balance is between will + self-care. Nick is an incredibly talented and driven artist, and it was staggering to hear him talk openly about the challenges he faced while trying to finish this work. And to confirm that coming out of the valley isn't a momentous break of clarity — it's small moments of grace, of the universe wanting to heal what's hurting. I am grateful for Nick's honesty, artistry, and perseverance.

Episode 20 was lovingly assembled and edited by Matt Lowery (@mattlowerymusic). I'm so grateful for his willingness to give his energy and expertise toward this project and toward the lines community. sound and process is an exploration of lines, so, come join the conversation at https://llllllll.co
