Blossom [ disquiet0536 ]

A VOI.....

Made for Disquiet 0539.  The Assignment: Let your slow breathing guide a piece of music.

It's fascinating that music, like breathing, can help us into transformed states. So I loved the idea of trying to create a piece of music that begins with, and evolves from calmly breathing. I expected to make something very mellow, some low pulsing and droney pads that compliments the breath, but once I started creating, I came up with something a little different. Added a little more energy, inspired by breathing, and observing the backyard. 

I sat in the backyard, half reclined in a chair, with the Zoom recorder on my chest, breathing. As thoughts came into my head, instead of waiting for them go away and going back to breath, I vocalized the thoughts. I noticed how some birds are living in a thorny rose bush, finding safety from predators (like my cats unfortunately) in a dangerous place. I noticed a new fence in the neighbors yard to separate a wild overgrown garden from a manicured lawn. Noticed plants growing tall, spreading seeds in the spring, and I wanted to let them all grow, to stop cutting it all back. With our gardens, and with life we build some fences, but the order may be just an illusion, it's still chaos underneath, and there's a kind of peace knowing that. 

Finished song in Ableton by listening to the breathing, adding things that came to mind, lots of Hybrid Reverb. Then did my first every recording with the circuit monostation through a talkbox pedal, which became the lead  part in this. That too was an exercise in breathing, and kind of messy. Looking forward to playing with that more. 

As someone weekly beats pointed out, this song itself has a bit of illusion of order - there's some chaos bubbling around underneath some calmer vibes.

Silence 

The city shines apocalyptic tonight 
An avalanche of grief in a sea of blue lights 
Turning the other cheek, falling into their graves 
Rising like Lazarus to do it again 

A crowd of youths are getting ready to “meet”
There’s an air of violence running down every side street 
Put down your guns 
Thrown down your arms 
No one’s brave enough to sound the alarm 

The deafening silence 
This silence is deep
Been silent for so long we’ve forgotten to speak 
Words like silent raindrops fall 
The silence is deep but the anger is shallow 

The toothless vampire’s getting ready to bite 
Fuck me man you know what’s wrong and what’s right 
For every Abel there’s another Cain 
Every vow of silence is another bloodstain

Silence

These old hose fittings have been sitting in my music box for years.  This Junto project was a great opportunity to do make percussion samples with them.

Kit Bits (brass threads) (disquiet0433)

Drum samples, from the Volca Sample factory sounds, played through a tin biscuit box, in the shape of France, converted into a reverb/resonator. Recorded with the biscuit tin lid on and off through a ladder filter with a touch of resonance.

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.
