Astrofaros - Above The Clouds (Mean Flow remake)

Oleksandr Demianenko - forever and always

The Gilded Lily

Habituation

The Assignment: Improvise successive layers, each time reversing the previous layer.

I used Korg MS2000 + Memory Man looper pedal, which is probably the easiest way to overdub on reversed audio. So you have different loops coming together, some reversed, some forward. 

I added a bit of ping pong delay and slap back echo sort of reverb to create a bit more space and then add some punch to the 'drums'.

Some recordings of harsh ways of people closing doors.

I am telling people in german (austrian dialect) to close the car door slowly. 

I hope you like it :)

Please dont close the door so hard.

Rising moon [naviarhaiku370]

I made this piece in response to this week's Naviar Haiku:

One traveller,
Wakes another traveller,
At the sight of the sea.

Here's some more info courtesy of Naviar Records, who initiated the project:

The Haiku Foundation is always a rich source of inspiration. I immediately fell in love with this poem by Choshi, included in R.H. Blyth “Japanese Satirical Verses“. For those of you who are not familiar with the difference between haiku and senryu: the former tends to be about nature, while the latter refers to some aspect of human nature or emotions. Their structure is similar.

I couldn’t find any information on Choshi online, so here’s what R.H. Blyth said about our haiku of the week:

“We have here a clear example of the difference between haiku and senryu. The sight of the sea in the early morning makes someone wake up a fellow traveller. But what remains in our minds is not the sea glittering in the morning sunshine, but the shaking and awakening of the traveller by someone who hardly knows him from Adam. We feel the kinship of the men through that one touch of nature.”

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate, visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 24th February 2021

See the Sea (naviarhaiku372)

Le Berger is the moniker for the artistic, conceptual & professional endeavors of Samuel Landry, hailing from Montreal.

Namely:
• Ambient textures & tonal ventures accomplished with primitive means and scarce source material
• Limited series conceptual art prints
• Commission work for interactive installations, one of a kind artwork & individual design projects
• Narrative & voice over (audio books, scientific narration, film, TV, commercial & others. French & English)
• Concept albums & mystical (yet whimsical) stories in sounds
• Openness to free association, collaborations and interesting projects, please do inquire

In most of these undertakings reside an ethos that goes deeper than aesthetic considerations. The creative process itself is considered in many ways as quintessential as its end product. Le Berger often times consciously restrains the resources, tools and options available; a method intended to excite resourcefulness and focus on human potential rather than a dependency upon expansive & expensive technologies offering what appears to be near endless possibilities.

There is a clear intent to create work that celebrates imperfections, values character and personality over the stale gimmicks of promotion. And then the sincere hope that it generates as penetrating an experience for the end receiver as it does for its creator.

The work has been characterized as refreshingly kinetic, candid, self-replenishing, atmospheric and serene. It falls along the lines of drone, minimalist, sound art & ambient genres and undeniably subscribes to a DIY modus operandi.
