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?

Op Art Arpeggios (Disquiet0410)

This track is a response to a challenge from the Disquiet Junto: "What does the sonic equivalent of Op Art sound like?" 

In this piece, I first composed a small symphonic riff - and then cut everything up in pieces, like seeing a picture through a grid or a comb, to see if the idea of the original would "peek through" - or maybe even change character. I think it changed quite a bit; some parts gained importance, other disappeared and some got almost too intrusive. But I actually like it better like this... :)

disquiet0410 - broken syncphony

Using an image Jelie sent me from a mountain retreat I loaded it into Photosounder.
I then inverted it to get a more traditional OP black and white image. I then used the black and white tools to draw trees using the tools. 

I then took the inverted image’s sound, duplicated and reversed it. I then took the “drawn” inverted images sound, duplicated and reversed it. Using these 4 sounds I grouped them in Live to a looper and EQ.

I then dialed in some drums on the Roland DJ 808 drum sequencer for the 606, 707,808, 909 drum banks. I then used the MIDI fighter routed to a drum kit with a looper to capture a phrase that I then folded into the group Loop chain.

Using audio illusions to create sonic expression... I've just realised I forgot the part about expression though.

It is a M4L implementation of this Glissando Illusion: http://deutsch.ucsd.edu/psychology/pages.php?i=205

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.
