Resilient Strategies 11/22 [excerpt]

Improvising on contrabass recorder to acoustic jungle loops by Ned Haweeli.

Drum And Contrabass Recorder

I found a few tracks I recorded years ago, apparently a bit of modular synth and lots of no input stuff. But also a few recorder notes? Anyway the tracks fit together well I think.

About ten years ago, I got inspired by the blossoming magnolia tree in the neighbour‘s garden and played on my bass recorder. (Almost) every year since then, when the tree starts to blossom, I rework this improvisation, either by processing it electronically, or by adding another layer of recorder playing.

This year, I took a version for processed alto and bass recorder (consisting of loosely connected „sound islands“), and played comments on it on the contrabass recorder.

Improvisation for bass recorder on self-playing synth

Resilient Strategies 6d

Some while ago I read about Luigi Nono's later works involving live electronics, in particular "A Pierre. Dell'Azzurro silenzio, inquietum". I found detailed descriptions of the electronic setup on the homepage of Hans Peter Haller who worked with Nono on this pieces in the Freiburg studio.
I wondered whether I can use these techniques in an improvisational setup and emulated (in puredata) two tape loops sampling whatever is played and playing it back at (almost) half speed, with some slight differences in speed to create microtonal inflections.
My experiments with this setup never worked out - the electronics' reactions were too predictable and slowed down my own playing; results were pretty boring.
Last week I gave it another try, adding two more emulated tape loops which sample and transpose down what I played 16 seconds ago. Suddenly this worked for me; I improvised to this on bass recorder, alternating sections with long and with short notes, trying to react to the electronics' answers. I liked the thick clouds of subbass recorders sounds answering me and the resulting sound halfway between compositional rigor and improvisational expression (well, that's at least how it feels for me).

I'm playing along Matthias Boss @bosspfaeffli 's wonderful https://soundcloud.com/bosspfaeffli/violins-should-be-played-only-with-clean-fingernails on contrabass recorder.
