Revelation of Sound is pleased to present MTRL (material), an art project by Lukas Weinlein. Experimenting with several ways of artistic expression for years, the way of telling a deepminded story through sound cought his attention. Guided by that, he explored the universes that exist, painted by so many different styles of music. This insightful journey shaped his current understanding of music and ultimately led him to the endless possibilities of hypnotic electronic music, inspired by the infinite cosmos and organic voices of nature. Having bonded with a multitude of great artists helped to refine his style and created a sphere of inspiration around him. The permanent exchange of ideas and skills with other artists helped to transform MTRL into a still developing transmedial art project . The name for this specific art project was chosen because of the definition of the word material: "the matter from which a thing is or can be made" - It fits the purpose of the project very good. The aim of MTRL is to create an audiovisual experience from existing or non-existing matter for open-minded brains. Together with Dycide and Polygonia he is one of the minds behind the label @iorecs. His various releases on labels like Lowless, solid Shape and AGOS are played by some of the most established artists of the Hypnotic and Deep Techno scene.

Enjoy the journey!

Release date: October 31, 2023.

Revelation Session #228/ MTRL (DE)

We're delighted to share with you Synthtati's set recorded during the transience curated night at Whole Festival last year. During these three hours, Synthtati takes us on an incredible journey through moments of dubby, glitchy percussions into surreal atmospheres and more playful moments all emerging from a bi-directional drone setting a pschedellic mood for the rest of the night. 

Synthtati has the following to say about their set : 
This soundscape was manifested for the ambient stage opening, invoking memories of an ecstatic atmosphere in the woods under the stars, flamboyant queer people celebrating life on a hot July night.
I had 3 hours to envision a spectrum of sonic nuances: refined elegance of distorted rhythms, cinematic nostalgia, mysterious organics, musique concrète, spoken word, ASMR whispers, and intricate textures.
Initiating with the ethereal resonance of the Shepard's tone as a countdown point, this mix collages 3 musical channels complimenting one anoher simultaneously and merging into one sonic tapestry resonating with me deeply.

Description:
After recording "Granie Demo3 - Lyra Dreams The Halloween Edition" (Ref. [1]), I had to have a wind down session just jamming out, or was it going more hyper -- you be the judge.

Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 were recorded DAWless on the Granie, feeding it the Soma Lyra 8. Granie is my granular synthesiser Ref. [2].

Track 1 used a definite tuning library, whereas for tracks 2, 3 and 4, it was all modified and improvised. The tuning is listed below, negative frequencies meant play backwards, these were the grain play-back frequencies, which may differ to the human perceived frequency.

Grain Bank 1 frequencies [Hz]:
1: -1.635
2: 0.265
3: 0.985
4: 1.465
5: 2.165
6: 2.865
7: 4.165
8: 12.465

Grain Bank 2 frequencies [Hz]:
1:14.
2: 3.
3: 13.
4: 20.
5: 25.
6: 32
7: 28.
8: -2.4

Grain Bank 3 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 3
2: 14
3: 17
4: 22
5: 23
6: 25
7: 41
8: 47

Grain Bank 4 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 117
2: 122
3: 125
4: 129
5: 131
6: 136
7: 141
8: 40

The tuning was determined one grain bank at a time, all by ear, ensuring each new bank's ith note worked well with the next bank's ith note.

For track 5, I was curious what the tuning of track 1 would sound like with a fixed discrete tuning instrument, so took the raw track 1 tuning and put it into Ableton Live, an exact replica of tuning but with no granular synthesis human perceived tuning corrections. Some selective octave reduction was also used, this tuning is shown below:

ID, Bank, Local, FreqRatio, Cents
0, 0, 0, 1.000, 0c
1, 0, 1, 0.162, -3150c
2, 0, 2, 0.602, -877c
3, 0, 3, 0.896, -190c
4, 0, 4, 1.324, 486c
5, 0, 5, 1.752, 971c
6, 0, 6, 2.547, 1619c
7, 0, 7, 7.624, 3517c
8, 1, 0, 1.070, 118c
9, 1, 1, 0.229, -2549c
10, 1, 2, 0.994, -11c
11, 1, 3, 1.529, 735c
12, 1, 4, 1.911, 1121c
13, 1, 5, 2.446, 1549c
14, 1, 6, 2.141, 1318c
15, 1, 7, 0.183, -2936c
16, 2, 0, 1.835, 1051c
17, 2, 1, 8.563, 3718c
18, 2, 2, 10.398, 4054c
19, 2, 3, 13.456, 4500c
20, 2, 4, 14.067, 4577c
21, 2, 5, 15.291, 4721c
22, 2, 6, 25.076, 5578c
23, 2, 7, 28.746, 5814c
24, 3, 0, 1.118, 193c
25, 3, 1, 1.166, 266c
26, 3, 2, 1.195, 308c
27, 3, 3, 1.233, 362c
28, 3, 4, 1.252, 389c
29, 3, 5, 1.300, 454c
30, 3, 6, 1.347, 516c
31, 3, 7, 0.382, -1665c

I used a bell instrument, ok, this is weird, the tuning, not the instrument, but it worked, 8 notes for each of the Granie banks, strung together into 32 notes and just stuck with only using those 32 notes. I realised I needed a timing track, so picked a drum set and set the Push2 midi controller into 1/16th repeat note mode and improvised some drums into a 21 bar section. Improvised on the Bells track into 18 bars. Put the percussion and bells into looped playback and improvised on the Lyra 8 -- one take, improvised tuning oh ya.

This was all done in the session view of Live, then bounced into the arrangement view ready to play back and do the mastering by putting in volume swells for interest.
