for Disquiet Junto Project 0326: Wave Turntable
In collaboration with composer Danny Clay, make music for his exhibit with artist Jon Fischer using only sine waves and turntable surface noise.

Assignment: Compose a short piece of music using only sine waves and the surface sounds of vinyl played on a turntable. 

Process: I had a look at the work of the artists mentioned above. I saw the point and wondered how can I make sine waves that are played by unusually surfaced records? Some time ago, I got an old turntable on the flea market because I wanted to somehow listen to tiny records that I found on my mom's attic. They were from a speaking toy parrot, that had a little toy record player inside. This however, was lost. With a diameter of about 5cm only, the mini records were of course not suited for a regular record player. anyway I tried to play them and recorded the noises, which were very scary. At the end, the records were just skipping and these parts I took out of the recordings (to leave out the scary parrot voices) and glued 4 of them together to a 1 minute wav file. This I used instead of an impulse response for processing in convolution reverb. I fed short sine waves of different frequency into the convolution reverb and let the reverb bounce about as it pleased. I EQd it so that the record noise is still audible as well.

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.

This is true hip-hop, but only as an attachment to hip-hop. I am the bassist and free form lyricyst of logician. My rhymes travel through the spaces waves to push the dark apart from the stars. To instill progress to an other generation born to light the darkness far beyond. Not to budge atop but too walk it taught.
