naviarhaiku479 – Summer night

Sotto la coltre verde della foresta esiste un`incessante attività della natura. Non solo statici e rassicuranti droni sonori, ma soprattutto impulsi ritmici e percussivi.
Under the green blanket of the forest there is an incessant activity of nature. Not only static and reassuring sound drones, but above all rhythmic and percussive impulses.

Ants Bees And Fleas (naviarhaiku479)

With the upcoming Keith Rowe celebration in Berlin just around the corner, reflecting upon how Prepared Guitar noise crossed cultural boundaries. Pink Floyd in 66/67 a band of the London arts scene. Legend has it that Keith Rowe influenced Syd Barret to do improper things for the guitar that no other Pink Floyd guitarist cared to explore. I found this idea more plausible than Syd being stoned or aggressive -- although both artists might have found they shared a transgressive feeling for how such noises are the thang to challenge the thinking about the thang. While there's nothing in Syd's guitar sound surpassing anything Hendrix hadn't blown through several times with the vitality of ten thousand cats, it's also more complicated to think it through the Keith Rowe perspective. Hendrix's path, in my reading, was, yes, to found his own sound, gain his freedom, but also to destroy the white western exploitation culture with the rage of the slave uprising through the electrified blues and render, as a result, an American problem and treasure. In the last days, Jimi wanted to bring it back home and play deep electro-acoustic blues and rock the studio like CAN influenced by Stockhausen on shrooms. Keith's sound was already detached from folk traditions, more consciously post-modern (self-historicizing, self-contextualizing -- to lay the emotional guitar down, pushed away from the body), and few people really want to deal with that new kind of wilderness he explored in HARSH, where you see shards of what he maybe transmitted to Syd and which Jimi knew very well but never lived to take out of the rock and roll physicality context. Prepared Guitar music doesn't really exist if the guitar is not really involved, though. This track is all about those cross-over moments between the psychedelic movement and fluxus and free improv and indeterminacy. Syd was still in a rock band rooted in the Black Music of the Colonies and then they got rid of him. Noise has maybe messages beyond human aesthetic.

Where spring feels melancholy

Fireside Trip (disquiet0595)

My contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0600. The opportunity to participate in this is special to me as I participated on Project 0004 which also featured wonderful samples from Marcus Fischer. I created a piece that is still a personal favorite.

Approach and process - I was extremely time constrained with only a few hours to put something together. I built it around a heavily re-worked and effected version of the file '600_PSU_stairs-mfischer'. I used Bitwig Studio, a lot of automation, and a few time stretching tricks. 

I hope Marcus provides more raw material in the future. Thank you to Marc and Marcus for putting this together.

@tristan_louth_robins' Refactored Drift clicked with me, as well as @krakenkraft's Catnip in 60bpm and @Gianantonio_Patella's salience inferiore. While the latter two tracks build a rhythmic foundation, the guitar does the rest. Tons of reverb, new toys from Unfiltered Audio (Silo's great). To stick to the slow tempo, there are gaps to reduce speed. Drive safely. 


Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2 
The Assignment: Combine two or more pre-existing 60 BPM tracks into something new — at half the speed.

Step 1: In the previous Disquiet Junto project, participants recorded a variety of tracks at a standard pace of 60 BPM. Listen to the resulting material on the Lines discussion board and the SoundCloud playlist:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0609-speed-limit-pt-1/

Step 2: Select two or more tracks from the provided ones, slow them to half their original pace — that is, to 30 BPM — and use editing techniques to combine them into one new piece of music.

I extracted two samples from an old track of mine (Tape), lengthened the time, adjusted the equalization and finally mixed them together adding various effects. The basic track was synthesized in csound, the extraction carried out with audacity and finally the mastering with flstudio.

Moonlight Blesses The Temple (naviarhaiku508)

Jonathan Zorn works as a composer, performer, and curator of experimental, electronic, and improvised music. His electronic music pairs improvising musicians with interactive computer systems to create hybrid, human-machine ensembles. Zorn's interest in vocal utterance has resulted in a series of pieces in which spoken language is interrupted by electronic forces, drawing attention to the gap between speech and sound. Zorn has been active as an improvisor on bass and electronics for 15 years and has performed at Red Cat, the Walker Art Center, the Verona Jazz Festival, the Library of Congress, the Seattle Festival of Improvised Music, Line Space Line Festival, and the Chelsea Art Museum. His work has been published in Ord und Bild, the SEAMUS Journal, Notations 21, and UbuWeb.
