Cafe Kafka

Inspired by the following haiku written by Konishi Raizan, a famous haiku poet of the Genroku period (1688-1704).
spring dream…
not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

is there no gentle place?

This meditation on this year's blood moon eclipse employs 5 layers of field recordings, two from this year and three others recorded on this day in the previous years. Enjoy the slow pace and open space. A work in progress., it is.

blood moon eclipse op 340

Composite field recordings modified and mixed with a live sound feed on September 15 reworked somewhat today in Suceava at Residentia de creatie. Thanks to Rustic Camping Spot and Dan Prodan for cooperation and letting me work in and around them. Recordings include VLF captures from Baile Herculane and shortwave radio and turntable. 

Viile Satu Mare Sept 15 Composition

Recordings from July 28 and 29 reflect the peculiar ambiance of a multitasking bridge over the Danube near Borcea, where the two counties divide. In the darkness the source of the various drones and incidental noises become mysterious because untraceable. Enjoyable because not so loud as to be alarming although sometimes these sounds can be disquieting. This is a work in progress for an album I hope to complete during my residency here in Suceava. Thanks to Dan Prodan, Zidul de Hartie and Rustic Camping Spot for their support.

Watermark 4 with Joseph Angelo (sitar) first mix Oct 6

peking manis, or praeying mantis? the javanese instrument called "peking" is the highest pitched metallophone in the javanese gamelan orchestra. and when i thought of peking's tones gently rising like the foam on the tide, i thought it sweet. and the word i learned in indonesian (and malay, for that matter) for "sweet" was, and remains, "manis", just like you see on indonesian condiments like "ketjap manis". image taken by karolina ossowska-gburek in dubai, NO! in abu dabi, united emirates, of all places, no, wait, it's Okonek!

Visitations I, Preview, Gburek/Ossowska

violin, bass recorder, electric guitar, live computer processing, production by "the house that thinks it's me". as invariance. the kind stabilizing entropy. numbers and alpabeta letters in phase relations. preserving to infinity unstable potential entry. wordlessness and/or musicality of this. feedback loops as overdriven determinants. the tendency of logic signs to envelope or be enveloped by a design to incorporate them. and all the opposites

Systematic Structural Instability, 2012
