Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain

Six minutes or so of motorway noise, recorded near work on Friday morning / shortwave radio recordings made in the early hours of Saturday morning / a number of recordings of rain in my backyard, in town, at work, made since Christmas...

///

i've tried to be Cageian, in that i've not really treated any of the sound sources, beyond fading them & placing them, a little bit of EQ * but * i've been particularly uncageian in that my choices were never really dispassionate - i rather vainly tried to arrange them * pleasingly *; chance was involved but wasn't always adhered to... perhaps it's self evident - but i kind of love all these sounds. even the traffic, as oppressive as it can feel sometimes , has a beutiful gauzy whoosh to it...

they're all three flows, these types of sounds, it seems to me. Yeah, they've a * start * & an * end* but their defining characteristics are more about a certain fairly relentless streaming, no? even if they flicker and lurch at the edges...

& it's this relentlessness that is my excuse for this piece going so long - i wanted the them to weave, intermingle. Pretty cheaply, i guess, i made a feature of the more percussive bursts of radio static (most, by no means all caused by my shifting between bands) but i was more interested in the way they keep going, flowing, all three somehow intense and meandering...

Techniques
- Asymmetric loop lengths
- LFO control over panning
- LFO control over track volume
- Phase offset of LFOs to create variation

This is a site specific performance of my Found Objects and Atmospheres (acoustic translation version) on July 15th at King's College Strand Campus, Somerset House, East Wing, Inigo Rooms,  the space of the Performative and Experiential Translation exhibition. As sound material for my performance I solely used field recordings I made at the campus and its surroundings and some sounds I produced live during the performance. I transformed or "translated" the field recordings into electronic sounds using a framework I set up with tools developed by GRM.

Truck Radio Rain - disquiet0479

More on this 479th weekly Disquiet Junto project – Truck Radio Rain (The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them) – at: https://disquiet.com/0479/

Our prompt was inspired by John Cage and we were to find samples of rain, cars driving, and static between radio stations or record them ourselves, then make a track with only those sounds.

The Junto is a place for me to try new (usually brand new) things and share results, no matter how rough they are. This track is a documentation of my first ever jam with Cheat Codes V2 run on my Norns Shield and controlled with Grid... Also the first time I ran the script... and read through the manual. This script has some depth and I need to dig in, but in the mean time, try to get through this awkwardly choppy amalgamation of sound.

Disquiet0479 Truck Radio Rain

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
