Disquiet Junto Project 0650: Doppler, Interrupted
The Assignment: Record a piece of music in which a passing siren blossoms into something else entirely

The siren I used as raw material is an excerpt from my work with Sound Obsessed x Sónar+D: Temporal Tide

The collection of A/V pieces is currently exhibited at Sonar Festival in Barcelona. It's a collective work I enjoyed being part of https://www.soundobsessed.com/temporaltide

For my part of the exhibition piece "Exploring global temperatures since  1750" I processed Earth Surface Temperature Data for several cities as control voltage in VCV Rack. Noah Pred wrote a wonderful article about his sonification tool for  Ableton and how people approached the sonification task for Temporal Tide: https://manifest.audio/temporal-tide

Low Tide is inspired from that work. I heavily processed the siren and the first bleeps from the incoming
data in audacity (simulating a doppler effect, of sorts). I processed that sound in VCV Rack and added a synth from my Ksoloti Gills (Tiar SpaceViolin).

The Disquiet Junto prompt this week was an invitation to transform a siren as it passes from left to right.

My contribution features the transformation of an air raid siren by way of two layers of heavily effected slide steel guitar and an ambivalent synth pad. The vocal samples were generated with text-to-speech.

"Airships Over Chicago" is a stereophonic experience, so choose your listening environment with care. Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Lab, The Shambles, Chicago, USA.

Music can make you feel better, calm you down, lighten the situation or help you relax. So wouldn't it be great if you could call an orchestra in an emergency?

This track follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto 0650 project and gives you the opportunity to listen to an orchestral ambulance passing by.

The sound of silence

Like other “Beat Poets”, Jack Kerouac was attracted to Eastern philosophy, perception, and poetry. Together with Ginsberg and Whalen, he helped “Americanise” the haiku form and introduce it to a wider audience outside of Japan.

“The American Haiku is not exactly the Japanese Haiku. The Japanese Haiku is strictly disciplined to seventeen syllables but since the language structure is different I don’t think American Haikus (short three-line poems intended to be completely packed with Void of Whole) should worry about syllables because American speech is something again…bursting to pop.

Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi Pastorella.”

(Kerouac)
