I do not understand how you make something so simple so good, I'm pretty sure you would have been branded a witch for this in the middle ages.

Fallow Recordings is pleased to present ")When what" by the adept artist Wodwo. 
Wodwo crafts narrative-driven musical collages using guitars, effect pedals & improvising. 
")When what" is a work of pure exploration & showcases Wodwos style in it's most minimal form. 

Think of noisy amplifiers, … herz hum… unresolved phrases…

Wodwo - )When What Decides

Maskin I

Diffuse

This is a study of a method of generating chords from a single sine wave. Each note of a random melody gets divided into 8 new tones, comprising the first 8 undertones of that note. Plus a bunch of other modulation and stuff to make it sound good (at least to my ears). This is a recording of one "performance" of the patch, and is not edited or post-processed in any way. Made in VCVRack; not my first patch, but my first decent patch starting from scratch.

The title comes from Michael Swanwick's novel of the same name.

Qubik - Fields (Senglar Campo Version)

It was a good day to hear a big number of vocal grey seals and lots of big-mouthed terns on the Swedish  island Gotska Sandön in the Baltic Sea.

Lyrics by me

I let fate take me by the throat
I love to be suffocated 
If fate dares to take my breath 
I will come on its face

Take Me by the Throat

This work is intended as a meditative companion-piece to an earlier work, https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20211024-night-music-spring, and follows a similar structure. However, it was recorded in an entirely different location (thirty-six kilometres away).

In this piece, the auditory journey of approach towards the distant source has more intervals, and is more gradual, than in the earlier work. Listening to what may be heard along the way is as important as arrival. On this occasion, there is only one Eastern Banjo Frog in the midst of a plenitude of Spotted Marsh Frogs, along with some Brown Tree Frogs and Common Eastern Froglets.

Other than balancing gain levels, the sequence of recordings constituting this work (made during one night at one location) has not been filtered or processed in any way (with the exception only of the final two minutes).

Fixing the volume from the outset to a fairly low level, e.g., around 40 per cent, and certainly not more than 50 per cent, is recommended. What is distant and quiet will gradually become nearer and louder.

Recorded on the land of the Peramangk people.

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.
