JVox -  Architect Of Truth (Senglar Rmx)

I tried out various online tools to convert different field recordings into text and ended up using https://editor.flixier.com/transcribe/ - because it was the only one that worked on any of the recordings. I also tried audio > video > YouTube but YouTube failed to caption the videos.

I used an echoey recording of a recent visit to a cathedral which translated into nonsensical text (in German) but unfortunately no descriptions like [noise] or the like. I did not find a way to read a score or musical instruction into the text so I used text to speech - including the time stamps to translate the text back into audio. Because it is a rainy day, I turned this into a house track, sort of.

Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow
The Assignment: How do you depict a shadow in sound?

I started playing around in the DAW and somehow ended up with old step samples. The simplest idea of musical shadows are certainly delay and reverb, and initially I built a (virtual) modular thing behind the steps that changes the shape of the steps but still lets us think of the original, just as shadows only hint at what cast them.

The second idea was the drums, and what could be the shadow of a drum kit? I used a looping noise sample (coming in very late, and not too loud) and carved out a kind of kick drum with negative noise using filters, so the absence of sound is the shadow here. I'll tell you why it has to be like this at some point far, far away … 

The third idea was to use two different types of motifs in one scale: An FM synthesizer using only the black keys of a blues scale (the real thing), and a classic basic saw synthesizer using only white keys (the shadow). 

Em ... and in general: first comes the real and then you hear the shadows, and in the end there are only shadows, because the word also stands for a kind of vague memory that continues to have an effect even after the real has disappeared. And remember, samples are shadows of real sounds …

The result is undoubtedly overly intellectual and musically not a gem. But it wouldn't be experimental music if the experiment couldn't - as here - go badly wrong. That's why I kept it under 3 minutes ...

3 Shadows [disquiet0622]

Seagulls [naviarhaiku517]

I recorded a track, then played it through a Bluetooth receiver at the limit of its transmission range. I also recorded the EMF around the receiver, while playing the same track at distance. 

The three tracks were merged, using vocoders, and AudioThing's Motor to help add some musicality to the broken Bluetooth track.

Echoes of Light

James is a multi-instrumentalist creator of music as well as a contemporary artist. He plays stringed instruments (guitars, cello, ukulele, bass, etc.) and uses a midi controller for any instruments he doesn't have access to; such as a timpani or a glockenspiel.

James creates music that is inspired by the pure love and joy of making music. The style of music he creates varies from piece to piece. He will go from songs that are accompanied by guitar or ukulele to full arrangements of a traditional North American band to orchestral scores that you could easily hear backing a film or video. 

By browsing his music you're likely to come across traditional pieces of music sounding as old as time and other pieces sounding as new as yesterday's jingle. 

Instruments inspire him to make new sounds come together to form music and combining old and new sounds is something he very much enjoys exploring.

While music and sounds are a big part of James' personality so is making art, graphics, and videos. James has worked professionally as a technical illustrator/graphics specialist since 1991. So James almost always creates art specifically for each piece of music he puts out into the world. The art may or may not be directly related to the piece of music in context but it will definitely give you another perspective on how the music has inspired him or makes him feel.

To learn more about James and/or see his art seek him out on Instagram.com and YouTube.com; he’s easy to find if you spell his name correctly.  A pseudonym also being used by James is Mildred Stain.

If you are interested in collaborating in any way, contact him!
