sound art for disquiet0647.


I started with a drone loop made with a broken casio keyboard. I then played the loop through a bluetooth bone conduction speaker. I’ve been experimenting with a cheap speaker and using it to vibrate other objects and record the vibrations with a contact mic. For this track I first used it on one of my litter sculptures that has a metal tin attatched. Each face of the tin sides gives a slightly different sound when the bone conduction speaker is moved around. I made two tracks like that and panned them hard left and right. The result is a subtle pulsing effect.

Then I made another two recordings of the speaker on top of a buckled crash cymbal. I left the speaker alone and let it slowly move across the cymbal by its own vibrations. Both are straight down the middle with no stereo effects, one is EQ’d to cut out a lot of the top end.

Knock, knock, knock – making up personal pictures is a steady inner dialogue. Wether wrong or right pictures come up – the studied movements reminds me of a well trained shadowboxer.

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

A different approach for this one, no modular just audio samples and instrument and effect plugins. Mainly because I wanted to see what I could do with the Stochas probabilistic sequencer. https://stochas.org I also had some other effects and instruments that I wanted to give a proper outing.

All the samples are from here: https://www.luftrum.com/free-field-recordings  Some are from the Free pack but I bought the full library a few weeks ago but again hadn't used them in anything.

Atonement

Inbows ridernoon_01

I'm primarily a visual artist both 2D and 3D, for the last decade I've operated almost exclusively in the digital 3D realm.   since the late 80s I've made periodic forays into the sonic world, MIDI sequencing, minimalism, musique concrète, found sounds  and improvisation. I am seldom happy with anything and seldom consider a piece finished.
