and it's every bit as soft as you could ever hope

from album from last april. 

One thing i don't like about soundcloud is seeing the amplitude of the track while listening. It gets rid of any suspense from the unpredictible future of the track. by seeing it all at once you can see when it goes to the drop or explosion, crescendo or whatever. I'll rather not even see the runtime of a track. Also it propably makes you want to click around more?... whatever

7 Waking-field (MWTBH 8)

Another collection of loose tracks I've made over the years, some were made over a decade ago. Several of these are from films I've worked on. Others are pieces I've never found a home for. Throughout the project you will hear a lot of piano. Some from virtual instruments, and several are actual recording of me playing on my father's Samick. I also used his Tascam 388 on a few tracks to gain some hiss and warmt. Many imperfections in this project, and I like that. I think this is probably my most vulnerable release, and feels the most like myself. Hope you enjoy something from this offering.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

One of the themes of my work is “memory.”
Recorded sounds are also memories, and at times these memories become complex, fragmented, and scattered. The intention behind works centered on the theme of memory is to reconnect and reconstruct scattered fragments of memory to create new memories.
This work, “Frozen Memories,” uses sound materials whose origin and recording date are unknown to me. These sound materials were first edited into a completed work, which was then further processed and edited to the point where it no longer resembles its original form, resulting in a new work.
In a sense, this can be described as a chain of memories.

FRKTL Residency @ HKCR ⊰ Ep. 02 ⊱

UVL is proud to release two new side-long compositions from Max Eilbacher. Edition of 150 three color risograph print.

Digital Sketch For Strings
One morning I had an idea for a string composition. The tonal colors of the strings would be constantly morphing between shifting intonations. A rising and falling spectrum of many different sonorities would construct a throbbing, living whole. The gestural and perceptive qualities of the stringed accumulation would exist somewhere between glacial and in constant motion. I ended up using saw waves instead of string samples or acoustic instruments, as I found the harmonics of a saw wave helped achieve what I was hearing in my head that morning.

Spectral Masking Room Construction
A work exploring onset partials on audio perception and spectral masking. I started with a woodblock sample. For me, the woodblock's harsh yet beautiful striking sound is complex. The short burst acts as an extremely salient and trepidatious sonic cue. After listening for hours to a single strike and performing in-depth spectral analysis, I began to hear and comprehend the strike’s intricate material composite as extending beyond its short temporal life. The burst started to exist as an impulse response. With each strike, information about the space in which the woodblock’s material existed for the recording was communicated. The room in which the wood was struck was just as much a part of the sonic material being heard as the wooden material colliding with one another. Synthesizing the woodblock sound from scratch turned into a minute study of individual partial’s attack and decay times. I used the results of spectral analysis and composed around the initial short strike. The pitches comprising the fundamentals and overtones in the sample were extracted in various clusters and used to create a few different digital synths. The timing structure of the sampled and synthesized strikes are controlled by a simple counting transform. By doing so I set conceptual throughlines for the variants of struck sounds. The many variations of partials being highlighted or sent to the audio background serve to imitate “fake” spaces in which these sounds exist and convey subtle architectural information to the listener.
