sound art for disquiet0647.


I started with a drone loop made with a broken casio keyboard. I then played the loop through a bluetooth bone conduction speaker. I’ve been experimenting with a cheap speaker and using it to vibrate other objects and record the vibrations with a contact mic. For this track I first used it on one of my litter sculptures that has a metal tin attatched. Each face of the tin sides gives a slightly different sound when the bone conduction speaker is moved around. I made two tracks like that and panned them hard left and right. The result is a subtle pulsing effect.

Then I made another two recordings of the speaker on top of a buckled crash cymbal. I left the speaker alone and let it slowly move across the cymbal by its own vibrations. Both are straight down the middle with no stereo effects, one is EQ’d to cut out a lot of the top end.

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.
