4. Decides Itself

Here's another one. Feeling kinda like a tribute to Moving Shadow

Systematized Delusion

The Civil War was a schismatic moment in Irish history, and the fault lines it left split families, tore apart communities and turned former comrades in arms against one another in a bitterly divisive period of violence and conflict. According to historian Anne Dolan, ‘The memory of the Irish Civil War has been assumed, distorted, [and] misunderstood. It has been manipulated, underestimated, but most of all, ignored’. 

Now, 100 years on, in marking the centenary of this period, The Civil War Memory project is currently underway (a collaboration between The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin and award winning documentary filmmakers Scratch Films) to document and preserve oral testimonies, reminiscences and accounts concerning the Civil War. The collecting project will result in a body of archival material which will be deposited at the NFC for posterity, with two documentaries covering the collecting process being aired on RTÉ this autumn. If you would like to contribute to the project, please reach out to us at bealoideas@ucd.ie

To take me through the project, and to discuss this phase of our history in more detail I’m honoured to be joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Críostóir Mac Cárthaigh, Director of the National Folklore Collection. Join us as we discuss silence, memory and the trauma of war.

10:58: Commandant Horgan in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 20 May 1980. Horgan explains how he and his brother were on opposite sides of the conflict, and how his mother would keep them separate when they would visit the family home.

14:36: Kathleen Farell in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 6 March 1980. Kathleen describes how IRA men were hidden in her house.

16:10: Patrick Galvin in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 10 January 1980. Patrick describes how he was unable to return to his job after the Civil War, and was fired when it was learnt that he had fought on the anti-Treaty side.

32:22: Patrick Galvin in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 10 January 1980. Patrick relates how it was difficult to shoot against former friends and comrades. Describes the 'great boys' he fought alongside in 1916 and in the 'Tan War' (the War of Independence) but states that everyone has a certain principle by which they must stand.

39:03: John O'Brien in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 04 November 1979. John relates local information concerning the assassination of Michael Collins. Is reluctant to share what he has heard out of respect for local families, and remarks that it could be dangerous.

Take me out
I’ve been really numb these days
Answer me now
Are you feeling the same or not

No one will find me on TikTok
Even on Facebook page
Sick and tired of scrolling down
Even when I’m tired as hell

let’s meet at the second house
where no one can find us
let’s meet at the second house
we’ll light up the fireplace 
and dance around all night

지금 가진 것들을 모두 다 내려놓고
떠날 수 있냐 물으면 너는 답하지 않았지

다시 오지 않을 오늘이 가고 있어
우리 함께 떠나보자 내가 마련한 집으로

let’s meet at the second house
where no one can find us
let’s meet at the second house
we’ll light up the fireplace 
and dance around all night

Second House

Richard Devine's demo of the Mutant Snare eurorack module (amongst others). He seems to have made good use of the external input to morph the Snare into something completely different!

Find it on ModularGrid here! https://www.modulargrid.net/e/hexinverter-Electronique-mutant-snare

His description of the patch:

"I took 5 sources into the external input, and then multiplied the output and fed it back into it self so you get this really hi-fi feedback sound at times. 
Used the Low-Gain Electronics Short Bus V2, with 5 sources running in, then took the summed output back into the Snare to get these glitchy broken like sounds, then slowly opened the decay allowing for more of the external signal coming through and then I flipped the switches to turn on and off different effects.
Sources:
1. Mungo d0
2. Warps running parasites program 7 delay/feedback
3. Z3000 modulation at low rates (amplitude modulation) audio cutting.
4. FMVDO running modulated high FM, mixed in by hand manually with a intellijel ATT
5. Digital Noise out from the Synthesis Tech e102 quad temporal shifter
I multiplied the output and sent 4 sends to the HexVCA, one out to the Eventide Space, one to the intellijel Spring Ray, and one to Clouds for the granular delay stereo scatters. Being triggered by the Ladik Random R-110, for the long gate holds."
