fad hold

halF odD [disquiet0507]

I had a nice recording of an FM radio falling out of tune recorded outside on a Autumn morning with the rain failing off a tent. Its quite evocative so I took this and added some background music. I sent this recording into various channels and effects and with some nice synth sounds it felt like the classic era Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works sound. So added some low key beats chugging away in a very 90s ambient house sort of way! 

The haiku and the sounds match in my mind.. the synths are the summer and the rainbows fading and the beats are the years progress and the hiss and static and rain are the damp days of Autumn.

A day of rainbows
As Summer gives way to the
Damp days of Autumn

Summer Gives Way to Damp Days [naviarhaiku405]

A sequence of enhanced multiple-channel recordings created with the aid of an elderly laptop which may well be retired in the not too distant future, but not yet. On the other hand, the sounds were made with various pieces of junk destined for the recycling bin.

Damp Days [NaviarHaiku405]

I've had a Korg Monotron Delay for a while but more recently bought the Monotron Duo but was a bit underwhelmed by it. This was a good reason to see if it deserved to stay. I think it does. The Duo was passed through the Delay and then recorded into Ableton. Then the track was subjected to Unfiltered Audio's Silo and Lo-Fi-AF as well as Wavesfactory's Quantum.

ils restent (disquiet0510)

For this Disquiet Junto assignment I revived my Dreadbox Lil' Erebus - most sounds and effects in this jam from this module with some percussion added - it was one of the first DIY modules I built (and it shows). As a result it's been living in the Bardo Drawer with other modules that are on their way out.
