Name: LIVE@Studio65 - Dani Kirby/Mat Ward (bass strangulation) by No Mates Ensemble
Duration: 4 min 28 s
Description: A little snippet of a gig we did for the ongoing SoundKlub crew; who have been putting on experimental music events in my hometown for more than a decade. Apologies to Dani Kirby as this piece is less of a duet and more a study of me being a soundhog and playing more or less a bass solo over her keyboard and vocal work.

This is what I needed to let my hair hang down!! Free style... Just tingles the senses!! Love the deep tones...& I love that other wordly out of body experience that Dana 's voice +gives off! I missed you playing the bass, Mat...NOW, I got lucky searching the bottom of your music stack & finding this cool ear juice! I just feel so liberated for listening! Thanks, Bosss! >>

LIVE@Studio65 - Dani Kirby/Mat Ward (bass strangulation)

I dreamed I was flying
free as the sky
watching the world
tender wings passing by

All cares and small worries
soon fell to the ground
embracing the world
with a delicate sound

The sun soothed my spirit
and strengthened my soul
set free at last
I was finally whole

Then I woke with a feeling
that wouldn’t let go
with memory diminished
a fragment, a glow

Of freedom and flying
I looked to the ground
flapped my arms like a fool
made a devilish sound

I stopped, feeling foolish
life is not what it seems
you can reach for the clouds
but you must dare to dream

"During this tenuously denormalized environment that we, as humans, face currently amid the COVID-19 epidemic, most musicians [and non-musicians] are discovering ample time on their hands that can be utilized for creative, sonic endeavors; hence, for this week's disquiet junto, I imagined, as Marc Weidenbaum's prompt had stated, '[an] idea of looking ahead -- of projecting  what the world will be like in six months -- what [our] world will [sound] like six months from today, [and] make some music that reflects what you imagined,' and set out to produce a soundscape that might become representational of 'some manner of composing' by musicians and non-musicians, alike, briefly, ahead in the future.

To that end, I struck off into this project intending to be pure audience to the piece; that is, I desired to build a soundscape that was, for nearly all purposes, beyond my control, and was extant without my ever inputing a single note -- nor sound -- by 'playing' ANY conventional musical tools nor instruments.

'Six months from now,' I had imagined, 'the world's aural archive will have grown in its number of works created by non-musicians without the utilization of ANY conventional, musical instruments -- save a computer (for retrieving, and mixing, pre-composed sound files).'

But, of course, when composing and mixing a project in a DAW, egotistical control and inward aesthetic ever-prevails in my case; therefore, I had chosen to select -- and edit -- several HUGE beds of sound, layer them side-by-side, and judge the manners in which they collided, overlapped, and existed together (i.e., using manually-generated volume fades, on-board processing and effects, and panning techniques within the DAW, itself).

I chose the pre-recorded online file archive provided by the website, freesound.org, as my 'nest-egg' of potential 'sound options': I kept entering the search terms, 'space' and 'a-note' -- as in 'the musical tone, 'A' -- into the search field over a period of five hours, and auditioned, chose, imported, and melded-together, seven [7] distinct sound files that were ten- to ninety-minutes in temporal length -- as might a 'non-musician' [!?] might have done -- and mixed them together, all the while, of course, consciously manipulating them according to my unique, individualized aesthetic concerning 'what sounds good' (i.e., manipulating volume fades, effects, and panning parameters).

This musical bed of sound is the result: 'In the Orbit of a Victorian Fireplace.'"
