strange, hypnotic drones. but then it turns out it was only the sea. i liked this a lot.

Nice. Luciers  technique is always a joy. Liberally used in early Hafler Trio, one of my favorites.  Great choice to reverse the iterations with a reveal at the end

I'm sitting in my room, listening... Lucier (one of the best ever)

halF concrètE [disquiet0590]

This is my entry for https://disquiet.com/2023/04/20/disquiet-junto-project-0590-concrete-roots/

I took a brief portion of a field recording I made several years ago of high tide in Provincetown Harbor (Provincetown, MA), and subjected it to a process inspired by Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room". I iteratively processed the sound through a convolution reverb using an impulse response (IR) from an empty concrete nuclear reactor hall, Each successive generation re-applies the reverb so that eventually we hear only the resonant frequencies in the space from which the IR was derived. This was a manual process, as I wanted to preserve the ever-increasing reverb tails, and also to control the reverb level to avoid digital distortion (which can be cool, but not what I was after).

When I assembled the segments into a single track, I decided to reverse the order so that the most highly-processed segment comes first, and the original recording is only heard at the end of the piece.

Made in Reaper using the Waves IRLive Stereo plugin. The IR is from the OpenAIR Project: https://www.openair.hosted.york.ac.uk/?page_id=626

I Am Tiding In A Concrete Room [disquiet0590]

a combination of electromagnetic recordings to generate the feedback for the assignment and some old field recordings of birds squabbling at local sheds, with occasional environmental noises and artifacts. 
both tracks had lots of noise i tried to use as texture
added various layers of fx
all mixed in ableton

TRANSMISSIONS    X1

A live stochastic experiment with
four ARP 2600 synthesisers, 
from http://cherryaudio.com, 
celebrating the centenary of 
Alan Robert Pearlman,
founder of ARP.

There are audio artefacts 
that contaminated the 
track during recording. 

After repeating this 
experiment four times, 
and giving up on 
removing them manually, 
I am publishing this 
in its raw, live form.

Solemnitude

Izu Ambient 022

A track from the forthcoming CD "station" — a collection of noise, dark ambient, and experimental works evoking the anxiety of uncertain times. Part memory, part post-apocalyptic fantasy, this set of ten pieces extends a growing catalog of introspective, meditative, and reflective sound art.

This track blends my soundart world with the world of my quiet music (chamber music with electronics).

Releases 22 Juy 2025

Experimental electronic music, mostly in the drone category. This is where I put live sets, one-offs, experiments, and excerpts from longer releases.

CD: "~60 Hz" on Irritable Hedgehog - http://recordings.irritablehedgehog.com/album/dave-seidel-60-hz

Sorry, SC won't let me follow any more people, so don't feel slighted if I don't follow you back.
