Absolutely feeling like I'm deep inside a seemingly simple electrical device with an actually complex internal dialogue happening all around me. I love this.

Yes that's really beautiful...dense but delicate

The Assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.

Step 1: Rather than record music, in the traditional sense, you are going to spend time assembling a sonic environment, what might be thought of as an atmosphere. Think about what that might entail. Please begin this process with the understanding that you will create the atmosphere from scratch, which is to say: not using field recordings of existing environments.

Step 2: Think about the sort of atmosphere you want to make. It might help to experiment by first making some quick rough drafts, in order to see what sorts of atmospheres your skills and equipment lend themselves to.

Step 3: Now record the atmosphere you decided upon in Step 2, adhering to the directions mentioned in Step 1.

Deadline: Monday, November 11, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

Disquiet Junto # 0671 was an invitation to create an atmosphere from scratch. "Other People's Dreams" features three intertwined vignettes, guiding the listener through mysterious spaces that are lying in wait for their stories to begin. 

A lot of the sounds, including the rattling engine in part 1, came out of torturing drum kit samples with filters, ring mods, and arpeggiators. I live-sculpted high pass and low pass filters on layers of pink noise to create the ocean swells. I recently acquired a Nektar Panorama control surface for Logic Pro, which gives me tactile control over parameter automation. For this piece, I was able to record a live performance involving shaping and filtering in real time. It's been very freeing creatively.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Lab in The Shambles, Chicago. True to the instructions for the prompt, no field recordings were used.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0671: In the Air Tonight. The assignment: Make an atmosphere of your own.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0671 discussion thread on Lines:

I envisioned entering a cave and the final descent into a dark abyss. Created with a Make Noise Strega semi-modular using the "Bat Cave" patch from the user manual. Added Valhalla Delay in Ableton Live. Along with bat sounds – birds, crickets, water drips, wind, and maybe frogs could be heard? Photo by Gabriel Tover via Unsplash.

DARK AMBIENT - THE PASSAGE OF DREAMS

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Noodle Twister is a sound artist in Northern England. Ambient, experimental and field recording are some of the current focus.
