If you ever read one of my descriptions, you know the drill: I conducted a jam session in which I used a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the stereo in Audacity, which I used in post-production to extract the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!

This particular jam session was quite extensive, so that I decided to create three tracks from it, so this is the first one. In this particular part of the jam session, I was heavily relying on the Eurorack modules Radio Music and Turing Machine, both designed by the amazing Tom Whitwell. As always, Radio Music provided most of the samples, while the Turing Machine provided most of triggering and modulation of several modules; just to name a few: the aforementioned Radio Music, Basimilus Iteritas Alter, Mordax DATA, Doepfer A-147, Make Noise LxD and the still superb Mutable Instruments Clouds. Especially the interaction between the BIA, the A-147, the LxD and the Turing Machine created that distinct "broken" abstract rhythm that drives this whole soundscape. Additionally, I employed several guitar pedals to add flavour to the synth sounds; most prominently the Boss ML-2 Metal Core, that really makes the Arturia MicroBrute sound almost like an electric guitar.

During post-production when listening through the recording and picking the best parts to create this track, a civil defense sirene test took place in my region and the siren nearby my flat was very audible. Funnily enough, it was quite in tune with the track and in my opinion really matched the oveall sound structure. As I mentioned previously, working with a modular synth system often brings something extraordinary into being by means of those happy little accidents. This time, not only my gear surprisesd me, but also this siren test. 

Unfortunately, I couldn't record this siren sound at that time on the fly, so I decided to use a sample from one of the numerous free sample online sources to recreate that surreal feeling I had during the jam session. So I placed the sample roughly at the same position as it occured during the post-production.

Way Before Yesterday

“Ojalá” es un arabismo común y concurrente empleado en el idioma español para referirse a “Si Dios quisiera”. A menudo, esta palabra se usa en nuestra cotidianidad para expresar un deseo que por el momento no es real aunque no se descarta su posibilidad: https://enternetboy.bandcamp.com/plaza-internacional

“Ojalá” is a common & concurrent arabism employed in Spanish language to refer as "If God wanted to”. Oftenly, the word is used in our cotidianity to express a wish that by the moment it's not real but we don't discard its posibilty https://enternetboy.bandcamp.com/plaza-internacional

[ES] Inspirado por sus memorias y el pasado de su residencia actual, enternet boy retrata un lugar con tesoros exo-téricos, sabiduría y habilidades ancestrales heredadas de la tierra maya así como algunas muestras de la aportación cultural de Medio Oriente en la Peninsula yucateca. El álbum nació durante la visita a un lugar específico de la moderna ciudad meridana de T'Hó.

«Plaza Internacional» (anteriormente el Hotel Itzá), que colinda con el Palacio de la Música (antes el Congreso del Estado de Yucatán) es el recuerdo fugaz en el interior de sus nostálgicos pasillos secretos y una revelación creativa entre la arquitectura abatida. «Plaza Internacional» es un punto de análisis, introspección y autodescubrimiento de enternet boy como un ciudadano actual de un antiguo reino maya, brindado luz sobre su origen, desarrollando lo auténtica espontáneaidad y llevándola a la práctica en este LP de 40 minutos.

En esta ocasión, los sonidos brillan por su originalidad como resultado de un estudio autodidacta de tres años en el diseño de sonido experimental. Algunas canciones fueron hechos en vivo durante el Festival de Pajama 3 (track 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 y 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5E-awImOmQ) y el resto salió durante un trance meditativo aka momentos de claridad/improvisación. Mejor experiencia con audífonos.

[EN] Inspired by his memories & the past of his current residence, enternet boy portrays a place with exo-thermal treasures, wisdom & ancestral abilities inherited from the Mayan land as well as some samples of the cultural contribution from Middle East in the Yucatan Peninsula. The album born during a visit to a specific place in Mérida, the modern city of T'Hó.

"Plaza Internacional" (formerly the Hotel Itzá), which adjoins the Palacio de la Música (formerly the Congress of the State of Yucatán) is the fleeting memory inside its nostalgic secret corridors & a creative revelation among the dejected & descontinued architecture. "Plaza Internacional" is a point of analysis, introspection and self-discovery of enternet boy as a current citizen of an ancient Mayan kingdom, binding light to his origin, developing authentic spontaneity & taking it to the practice in this 40-minute LP.

This time, the sounds shine for their originality as the result of a three-year self-taught study in experimental sound design. A few songs were made live during Festival de Pajama 3 (track 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5E-awImOmQ) while the rest came out from a meditative trance aka moments of clarity/improvisation. Better experience with headphones.

Release oficial en Mayo 24, 2021.

great appreciation to
a network of enchanted,
conscious music,
enabling me to weave
a poetry of resilience.
journeying to mystic places,
reflection, projected in waves of rhythm.
feeling home in melodies
made of new and old.
paintings to spark the soul.
