soniki (disquiet0560)

i used samplebrain, searching for 'rain beat' on freesound, found this:
https://freesound.org/people/tictac9/sounds/530585/
and used it as a 'target sound'(since it was tagged 'rain' it fit the disquiet project's instructions), and used other sounds tagged 'rain', 'night', and 'bird'(which were more like sound-design/field-recordings:
"237729__flathill__rain-and-thunder-4"
"339326__inspectorj__bird-whistling-a"
"352514__inspectorj__ambience-night-wildlife-a"
"531947__straget__the-rain-falls-against-the-parasol") for the 'brain contents' of samplebrain..

Disquiet Junto Project 0561: Samplelicker
The Assignment: Rework environmental sound recordings with Aphex Twin’s new software.

Step 1: There’s a new piece of freely available software called Samplebrain. It was designed by Aphex Twin and developed by Dave Griffiths of Then Try This. Download Samplebrain and read up at:

https://gitlab.com/then-try-this/samplebrain 11

Step 2: Create a piece of music using Samplebrain. For source audio, only use sounds tagged “bird” or “rain” or “night” from freesound.org 4. Use as many as you like. Be sure to credit the source material when posting your finished track.

Track notes: 

I decided to use only two samples for this samplebrain composition: "Rain.wav" from idomusics as my 'brain' sound and the delightfully named "French men in the deep night.wav" from satoration as my target. 

Having been listening to a lot of Rolf Julius' small music lately, I'm impressed with the variances in pitch and dynamic to these textures and how interesting they might sound broadcast at very low volumes or with the stereo field separated out. I'm looking forward to experimenting more with the app!

[Disquiet_Junto_0561] Glitched men in the deep night

Using Samplebrain I loaded seven clips of bird sounds from my own recordings with a short percussion track as the 'target'.

Sleepybutterfly - Storm Of The Rings

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.
