The Composition of Timbre: A Multidimensional Approach

My process:
Entirely made from the samples of a truck on the highway, radio static, and rain.

- Imported the samples into Ableton, chopped up transients, dragged my favourite chunks into "sampler and simpler" and set the in and out duration of the clips to create an instrument from the samples.

- The drums are mostly truck sounds and rain–– tiny clips transposed and EQd (chopped up and dragged into drum rack clip slots, arranged by their likeness to snare, kick, HH etc)

- Drums were drawn in brick by brick, The Synth instruments created by dragging into simpler were also drawn in, then I changed the envelope pitches as well to make the sound have a falling winding down effect.

- I included the radio static samples as a whole clip pitched up over time, creating some chaos :D  
- lots of EQ filtering

Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain
The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them.

Step 1: Locate online or record by yourself the following three sounds: a vehicle driving speedily, static between radio stations, and rain.

Step 2: Make an original piece of music using those three sounds. Do what you want with them, but only use those three sounds.

The Loneliness of the Rusted Things (2020) [Rehearsal] | Michele Abondano

For amplified cello and piano (2020–21)

The title (Spanish for ‘dry soil’) responds to an exploration of dryness as an opportunity to study he fragility of timbre from the particular and intimate experience of friction. In this composition, noise is especially approached as a dynamic entity from the materials that rub, brush or scrap the strings. Therefore, performers are invited to approach their instruments as dry soil territories in which they move to discover each textural identity. Cello and piano are explored as mirrored sources of sound, thus both instruments respond to each other as mutual extensions of their timbral conditions. Amplification works as a microscope: rather than just intensifying the sound, it is thought of as a magnifier of the inside of timbre, its structure and behaviour. 

Performers: Ivana Peranic (cello) and Rachel Fryer (piano)
Live recording at Goldsmiths, University of London, November 2021.

This is my submission for this week's Disquiet assignment.

The two people playing together here are different instances of myself -- the experimental electronics guy of recent years, and the "traditional" guitarist of yesteryear. They had this jam when they met.

Enjoy the duo, and here's some more insight about this project:
