180324 : Deux heures on affronte les choses du ciel, lequel termine de se tordre, près de rompre. On persévère avec un rythme irrégulier. Il conserve de la résistance, qu’on déclenche par salves et qu’il réserve on ne sait trop comment. On chiale à demi. On apprend comment pousser vers l’avant mais on s’inquiète plus tard du manque à obéir qu’engage cette course sans bornes..

sound art for disquiet0657.

The sound sculpture in the image is a sort of nail violin. The nails are bowed with a violin bow and make breathy, plaintive sounding notes. I also used the violin bow on two cymbals and a broken saw blade screwed to a block of wood. The saw blade is responsible for the bending tones later on in the track.

Recorded with contact mics and no effects.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0658: Re-Amplify. The assignment was to re-record and re-compose an organ improvisation by Daniel Glaus. This project was the last of three done in collaboration with 2024 Musikfestival Bern.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0658 discussion thread on Lines:

This assignment took me out of my comfort zone. Although I appreciate dark and dissonant experimental music, I find it difficult to create that type of music myself – leaning to a more mellow ambient vibe. I really did enjoy the process and outcome though, so I might experiment more with other styles in the future.

I used about a six minute section of Daniel Glaus's "Kokytos", and re-amplified the more quiet sections to come close to the loudest parts. I then copied the WAV file to my iPhone. From there, I went outside to the deck behind our house. A gathering of crows, Scrub and Stellar Jays were calling loudly in the Oak trees nearby. I re-recorded "Kokytos" from the iPhone speaker, along with the bird calls and other ambient yard/neighborhood sounds, using a Tascam DR-100MK3 digital recorder. Maybe it was my imagination, but the birds seemed to be responding to the sounds coming out of the iPhone.

After copying the file to Ableton Live, I added reverb and other effects to two versions of the audio. Other tracks, a bell tone from a Buddhist temple and chopped up clips of a Japanese children's song about crows, were also added. I also played sliced random samples from "Kokytos" with a MIDI keyboard using the Jumble plugin by SoundGhost. Abstract photo by Greg Rosenke via Unsplash.

Elegy For Crows and Jays [disquiet0658]

Cascaderie [naviarhaiku558]

Generally bouncy (4/4 and 7/8). Mellow episodes,with tenor saxophone playing softly (3/4-sort of).
The photograph was taken,between periods of rain, in my suburban garden in late September. This beautiful hoverfly is Sericomyia silentis (the Yellow-barred peat hoverfly) feeding from Japanese Anemone.. First time for the garden. Infact two female Bog flies were seen several times over two days.

Stand on one foot, like a tree

Artist and non-musician making visionary sound art with found objects.

I collect litter and make small scale sonic sculptures and rudimentary instruments. When I play them I’m thinking of natural rhythms like the wind in the trees or animal movements.
