Very own and appealing ambience and attitude in this track. Like it!

Disquiet Junto Project 0692: Combust a Move

The Assignment: Make music using fire for the rhythm track.

There is just one step for this project: Record a piece of music in which the sound of fire — match, burner, cigarette, etc. — provides the primary source for the rhythmic track.

. . .

Deadline: Monday, April 7, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

I want to start making mixes semi regularly. Quarterly maybe. 
Though not necessarily representative of the seasons 
More reflective. An aide memoire of what I've been listening to / going through

So here is one for Autumn...

---------------------------

Weird period of time.
Lots of work.
Drama. Kissing friends. Cold setting in.

How is it December already?

Asake & Travis Scott - Active (MK3 DUBZ Bootleg) [FREE D/L]

This is the sound of my gas stove igniting -- spliced, looped, and filtered. The industrial tone of the piece is inspired by a variety of sources: Gilded Age/early 20th century sounds (factories, railroads, typewriters); the factories making the droid army in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and the Clone Wars series; the David Lynch film Eraserhead; Bjork's 2007 single "Earth Intruders," produced by Timbaland.

Synths, samples, piano, effects. 

This piece uses a few bits of samples from Craig Smith’s Vintage Fire pack, which was taken from nitrate optical recordings from the 1930s & 40s.

First National Dander (disquiet0692)

This track is made up exclusively of recordings of sounds made with matches - scraping, striking, rattling, etc, with extensive manipulations of pitch, tempo and dynamics, multiple repetitions and various fx.

Matchplay (disquiet0692)

Disquiet 0692 called for us to record the sound of fire and use it as a percussion layer in a composition.

I broke out my trusty stereo field recorder and captured the sounds of match strikes, a lighter, a gas stove, a gas furnace, and a wooden-wicked candle. I did minimal sonic processing on the samples, mainly touches of distortion here and there. All of the samples except the candle were loaded into a custom sampler set up and programmed as a drum kit. The drum pattern is supported by a full-length recording of the candle, processed rhythmically with a combination of a highly sensitive noise gate, beat breakers, step FX, delay, and quantization.

The percussion is the center of the piece, but there's also some vintage analog synth goodness in the background. All of the synth parts were played and manipulated on a Moog Minitaur, my current favorite desktop analog synth.

"There is just one step for this project: Record a piece of music in which the sound of fire — match, burner, cigarette, etc. — provides the primary source for the rhythmic track."

The sound I chose for the fire was a field recording I'd made a few years ago in Brittany of a friend preparing a BBQ

CAT 1000 Rephlexions!

Mangle 11 (Circuit Bent V.I.P. Mix)

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.
