Review:
“Goosebumps and Deep Breaths… these rich soundscape “stories” sincerely do thrill my senses…
The concept for Sonic Encounters (so far, and in my interpretation) is this… You read a short text (sometimes the title is enough) on the premise of the “story” before listening. Then you listen to a purely sonic piece of field recording morphed with music, electronic manipulation, and performance, and you’re immediately transported via your own imagination’s 3D projection of his premise. Mark’s become a consummate sound artist. He creates powerful imagery and elicits surprisingly keen emotional response from the listener without being heavy-handed. His economy and value in precision is proof of his skill.
My favorite story so far is “Metamorphosis Under the Chatham Light”. I get chills just thinking about it. My very close second is “And What Do Trees Hear When the Wind Blows”. Read each premise before you listen. Or not. No matter, the pieces will creep into your consciousness and take up residence.” - http://BlindFlyTheater.com

S04-E07: The Signal Within the Signal

This Sonic Encounters soundscape was improvised live in one-take using my 4U 62HP Eurorack musique concrète Instrument. It's the follow-on track to the "Droid 164 Gets Distracted by a Wildflower" https://soundcloud.com/markmosher/so4-e02-droid-164-gets-distracted-by-a-wildflower.

S05-E01: Singularity

This  song debuted as part of the Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet Drone Day 2022 Celebration.  It’s the soundtrack to sci-fi short film of the same name which you can see here https://youtu.be/8WNZEwu1mEI?si=iNQ5rbtLxhpTvIGV.

This piece was produced entirely on an Apple iPad Pro 11 with Borderlands Granular and Luma Touch LumaFusion.

The music was performed in one real-time pass on the amazing Borderlands granular synthesizer which you’ll see superimposed on the screen. The source audio was based on field recordings of household objects, and on location in Iceland and Melbourne Australia.

S05-E02: Last Known Transmission

This song was improvised using MPE multi-touch to control analog modeled synths through a Frippertronics looper.  It was first performed at the Stellar Lounge astronomy concert which was a collaboration with the Colorado State Parks and Wildlife. 

More on this here https://markmoshermusic.com/2024/07/10/performing-space-music-colorado-parks-wildlife-stargazing-event-thursday-july-11/. 

In other words, the song is inspired by experiencing the vast night sky.
