P a b l o presented me this ambient drone titled "lost souls" for me to experiment on. In Belgium we're facing our third covid lockdown in one year. Help organizations worldwide are reporting alarming numbers of domestic violence and abuse due to lockdown. Lost Souls immediately became Trapped Souls in my head. I tried to evoke such disturbing situations through sound. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Anyhow, this is the result.

Gruppo Infernal + P a b l o _ Trapped Souls

This's a song that lamented me who couldn't give any advice to my lost YouTube friends.

#New #Original #Song #Shape #Moon

[Verse 1]
When clouds spring up and it starts to rain
Even if the moon disappears
If you look at the heavens again
That half moon is floating, But
I'm kind of lonely, too lonely
We are the Wanderer of the times
You who are wondering whether to give up
I couldn't find a word to stop
Even if the shape of the moon can be predicted
The flow of the times is unpredictable
An event that I never thought of happened
As far as I'm concerned

[Chorus]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

[Verse 2]
When clouds spring up and it starts to rain
Even if the moon disappears
If you look at the heavens again
That half moon is floating, But
It's a little sad, too sad, oh
We are lonely Wanderer
To you standing against the wall
I couldn't even reach out
Even if the shape of the moon can be predicted
The flow of the times is unpredictable
An event that I never thought of happened
As far as I'm concerned

[Chorus]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

[Outro]
Woo, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away
Oh, in the swell of SNS
Knowin', I can't even stop
I'm a wanderer in distorted space-time
I’ll get caught up in it and be swept away

Description:

Following up an idea on feed back loops, looper cross amplitude modulation with my software based digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt; plus analogue synthesisers: Soma Enner, Soma Lyra 8 and Soma COSMOS.


Track 1, "From This", 01:04, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt:
**************
Records a short Soma Lyra 8 performance, two motifs introduced and recorded into Loops 1 and 2, ready to use in Track 2.


Track 2, "Feedback Madness", 02:15, PulDeFilt:
**************
*(1). This is where is all began. Having recorded two short 11 and 12 second samples from the Soma Lyra 8 from track 1 into loops 1 and 2, it was time to experiment with loops 1 and 2 amplitude modulating (AM) each other.

I wanted to explore the possibilities of dynamic assignment of multiple looper outputs to cross amplitude modulate each other. So I decided to start simple and just cross link only two looper outputs.

The audio signals from looper 1 and looper 2 where then multiplied together, i.e. amplitude modulation. Now to add some spice, after amplitude modulation, this was fed into a delay+feedback+gain block and added back to the looper 1 AM input. This delay was necessary as a technical matter but then later proved to be a useful timbral tool by playing the delay times according to a prescribed discrete set of delay times (as assigned to 8 midi note pads, along with the feed back gain assigned to a rotary encoder of the midi instrument again played by the performer. The discrete delay time tuning was determined by ear, old school style, play one delay time, write that down, play the next delay time that sounded right, write it down and continue, then assign to the tuning library.

Since the original audio from the Lyra 8 was feed into the Soma COSMOS for reverb, no reverb VST was necessary in the digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt.


Track 3, "Wander", 02:41, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
A purely Soma Lyra 8 performance.


Track 4, "Uncover", 03:21, Soma Enner + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt
**************
Here the Soma Lyra 8 played a dual role, firstly as the delay+distortion for the Soma Enner performance and secondly, the Lyra 8 played in it's own right. This was then feed into the Soma COSMOS to layer in and out various motifs and play the Blur and Drift dials. PulDeFilt was used here purely as a mixing console and to layer up performances.


Track 5, "Leaving", 02:00, PulDeFilt + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
After all the hyper activity, a calming finale. PulDeFilt was used to play a pulse oscillator drone through a single delay+feedback block then off to a band pass filter, adjusting the centre frequency dynamically during the performance. This provided the backing for the Soma Lyra 8 performance. The Lyra 8 audio was passed through to the COSMOS for a touch of reverb.

Dead End (featuring Jimena Arroyo)

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
