love the bass clarinet, electronics bit there

This piece is like a fine hiking track. I keep coming back and it keeps giving.

Great track. I like the slow atmospheric piano parts, almost minimal

Just bought the record.  Fantastic stuff Michel.

Watch on YT for all the patching and knob fiddling.

Jam from scratch, as in: Everything is unpatched by the time I start the jam, no sequencers running or even connected to a shared clock, and all oscillators on init settings.

...and then I build the track during the 5 minutes of the jam from that 🥰

This was a very very fun challenge by the Hardware Jams FB group!

"Home Diaries is an invitation to artists and musicians to create an album or EP to document their personal experience during the lockdown or social distancing conditions that are upon us, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrays their own reflections uniquely. Each release is digital only for now. The releases feature a recurring polaroid image of a small lonely house, with a coloured filter chosen by the artist for each respective release. An interview with each artist is included as a bonus PDF with the download."

blochemy - Home Diaries 021 (Whitelabrecs) Sampler

Release: 21. August 2020

SOFA is the home for one of the most interesting string duos in Norway, whichever genre. We are talking about Sheriffs of Nothingness, featuring Kari Rønnekleiv and Ole-Henrik Moe. They continue to impress and surprise us with their compelling music. Their fourth release on SOFA is a mature confirmation of profound interplay and musicmaking. 

An Autumn Night at the Crooked Forest is a sort of tribute to the oldest and most traditional place for afterthoughts, meditation and reflection: the fireplace. Be it a bonfire (as it was for the first, say, five million years), or an indoor fireplace, or, even a woodstove could do the works as the place for people to gather, to tell stories, to share thoughts, or, to just be. This art of just being around the fireplace is perhaps what this album is trying to be about: four improvised pieces, dedicated to different types of firewood, or how it burns and glooms. Consequently the music on this album is not really moving anywhere in particular, it just is, trying to emphasize the point in everyday life where you are not trying to move on, where one can allow oneself to just halt and let your thoughts move freely. This record is recorded in the middle of Krokskogen (west of Oslo), in an old cabin, and by a fireplace that was, in different ways, burning all the time. So, all the way, you can hear it crackle, gently. Don’t miss out on Sheriffs of Nothingsness latest achievement available on CD and DL.

Sheriffs of Nothingness: Muted birch-logs

In September the trees shake their knees,
This is the sound
As they fall to the ground.
