Soundtrack to a troubling matinee, a feeling of dread surrounded me as I left the theater. I couldn’t shake the feeling that my popcorn had been laced with something other than butter.

Ire in Desire

After Heraklit*, this is the second soundscape made with a polyend tracker - a device  I like to refer to as a digital punchcard machine. The reasons for this naming choice are obvious to anyone old enough to remember actual punchcards. 

this upload also is an experiment in having an accompanying video - shot in a jittery, glitchy, seemingly careless, nouvelle-vague digital-punk-70s style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIgBYsTstBs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

RELATIVE SUN

translating torsos, gestures and forces
timid embraces of cultural icons
mind's urban slacklines span fixes and fines
surgical lasers, mosses and lichen
kneel at the sabretooth altar - move on, never falter
don't feed from the baiters - don't give up trying

Now, dear soundcloud, do tell me why this cannot be recommended?

"Beduine"

method: most of the pre-takes done with a reface dx and oyayo toy drums, later stretches in audacity, voice in balabolka and rearrangement and editing in samplitude (also adding bubbling bass voice, clicks and further elements)
Narration: it is the evening of the day …. the serenity of the song by the Stones, coupled with recollectioms of events, i.e. exploring tensions, delayed dis- and resonances and so on and so forth

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
