Moonlight Shaft (naviarhaiku508)

This is a ~5 min segment from a recent recording session of an atonal ambient/drone patch, inspired by Jaap Vink’s ‘screen patch’ explorations. New territory for me, been trying out feedback patching for awhile and this is a first attempt in doing one on this style. The sound source is ring modulated feedback created by patching a handful of Eurorack modules together.

The key modules are a Doepfer BBD delay, Make Noise Mimeophon, Make Noise Maths, Make Noise Rxmx w/ Fxdf, and Mutable Instruments Blinds. Altogether, a simple "record head / playback head" feedback loop is created that slowly builds by itself, and using Maths to suppress/compress the signal by acting as an envelope follower that controls the overall patch amplitude.

Blinds is patched as a ring modulator, and Rxmx/Fxdf stand in for the 'third octave filter' suggested in the original Screen Patch. This allows the feedback to be processed through 6 bandpass filters, including being able to scan through one or more filter bands. 

I also added another multi-mode filter, wave folder, and through zero FM VCO into the patch, allowing for more timbral range and ending up with a metallic resonance that I was pleased with.

If you're interested, check out Jaap Vink's work in the 1970s at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht, exploring ring modulated feedback patching with the 'screen patch'. More on the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Bcr_HS9XM

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0618 discussion thread:

Having lived and worked most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area, I selected a descriptive New York Times article from March 1, 1970, about the colorful salt evaporation ponds located in South San Francisco Bay "Coast Salt Flats: New Ecological Battlefield". The article examines the battle between industry, developers, and conservationists. 50+ years after the article was published, some of the wetlands have been restored, but the conflict still continues.

I recorded from Chrome's Read Aloud text-to-speech reader to a Tascam DR-100MKIII. I then processed the audio four times using Calsynth Monsoon (Clouds clone) with different settings, and placed them on four tracks in Ableton Live. From there, I added reverb/delay effects, as well as a track with sliced samples of the original unprocessed audio using Ableton's Simpler. Created additional tracks using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Sugar Bytes Aparillo, Jogging House Sonic Beds Vol. 1, PaulXStretch, and AudioThing Noises.

Although I no longer live in Northern California, it was cool to create a piece that links to an area that’s part of my history. This turned out to have more of a darker vibe than I would have liked, but in the end, I enjoyed putting this together and am good with the result.

Even On Clear Days [disquiet0618]

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
