I don't dare to imagine what the fire would look/sound like... :)

I wanted to stack more firewood today and figured one load would take about 3 minutes round trip. It seemed to encapsulate the nature of my recent walks, that being fall.

Processed channel was the original recording run through wah>phaser>comb filter>reverb

Liquidation Totale

On A Balcony, The Love of a Good Life (2017, from Awry EP and Liquidation Totale compilation))

Today, the Japanese musician Taro Ishida posted a video clip to his Instagram of a rainshower in Nasu Forest (Nasu-machi Nasu-gun, Tochigi.) He also shared a 30-minute audio recording of the rainshower via his dropbox account. I downloaded the audio and decided to improvise a little piece of ambient music around the rainshower recording using my electric 12-string guitar and two patches on a Microkorg synthesiser.

As I listened to Taro's recording, I made a sketch of the rainshower.

I was feeling quite miserable this wintery morning, so I went for a long walk into and around the city of Adelaide. On the way there, it started raining heavily and I sprinted to the nearest shelter at the Himiji Japanese Gardens in the southern parklands. The shelter adjacent to the beautiful stone garden provided a bit of respite whilst the rain cleared. As the rain subsided and the sunlight peeked through, it was a beautiful moment there by the stone garden and my mood improved significantly from that point on! The sound of the dripping rain was particularly lovely and hearing Taro's recording later in the day reminded me of this moment. Hence, the title of this piece.

I want to thank Taro for uploading and sharing the recording of the rainshower in Nasu.

The March of IT (disquiet0465)

Disquiet Junto Project 0465: You Thank
The Assignment: Make a piece of music for someone or something toward which you feel thankful.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0465-you-thank/38745/12

Step 1: Think of someone (friend, family member, source of inspiration, etc.) you’re thankful for, or perhaps a thing (instrument, institution, a local business, etc.).

Step 2: Write a short piece of music dedicated to the subject you focused on in Step 1.

Track notes: 

I've been catching up, listening to(and buying) a bit of more Jim O'Rourke's formiddable Steamroom editions over on his Bandcamp. For the most part, these are longform works (~30mins to 1 1/2 hours) composed primarily on a Serge modular synth. There are also archival editions going back as far as 1992. Getting into these can be daunting (there are currently 51 releases!) but the recent output is incredible: especially the drone-y, ambient vibes of 40, 45 and 50. 

So, this drone of mine - on my studio modular set up - goes out to Jimbo. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration, you wonderful human.

It's an excerpt from a patch that I'd left running for about half an hour. The core of the patch's activity is a newly acquired Doepfer Wave Multiplier, which works beautifully when the CV controls are being affected *very* discreetly. The signal is also passed through a Doepfer Wasp Filter. Around this, there's a dual delay emulating a pair of long tape loops. The artefact sounds (warbles, clicks, static) are stems from my new album, Mote Music. I'm looking to 'deconstruct' the album for live performance next year, so I thought I'd incorporate them into the mix of this patch. I like how - at times - they almost sound like field recordings.

Signal
07:27

Blurring the boundaries between land and sea, Signal creates a seascape in constant flux with its identity, ever changing, always in motion.  Sonic topography inspired and partly arranged from recordings made at a sound mirror on the South East coast of England (UK). The mirror itself stands dormant as it waits, facing out away from land. Sound markers and siren warnings, still it listens, quietly detecting.

Music For Captions [disquiet0469]

This track used four delays: GFI Specular Tempus, GFI Clockwork 2 delay, Eventide Ultra Tap, and Red Panda Particle as a reverse delay. It also uses the GFI Specular Reverb and a little boost and tonal color from the Xotic Effects RC Booster. No other effects of VSTs were used in this track.
After some exploration this track was recorded in one take. I particularly like the impression of vocals that emerged especially when holding notes longer or using open strings.
