Siren For The Electric Baby - (Disquiet0655)

It’s a Monday and you’re sitting in your office typing away, and there’s plenty to listen to, but why not whip up a quick little reworking of a loop from the FM3 Chan Fang Buddha Machine that someone recently sent to you as a gift? (Audio processed in VCV Rack. Buddha Machine audio inputted into a MacBook via an Edirol UA-25EX audio interface.) And a side note: SoundCloud shows this track as having been "mastered," but that's not the case. I did experiment with the built-in SoundCloud mastering option, applying the "Aurora" version, but it ended up too shrill for my ears. The ringing in particular sounded like a fire alarm was going off the whole time, so I replaced it with the original.

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.

0657 =  Straight Edged. Held tones, sharp edges.

I'm not too keen on imitating the classical orchestra - I've known and loved classical music for too long for that. But quite quickly, I thought of a personal reference in this field (may I be forgiven :) to answer the assignment. So I made a little one-minute piece in which the held tones occur progressively and are gradually superimposed. That's all.

Tools :
Logic instruments.
Waves & SSL plugins.
Mixed and mastered with Logic Pro X.

“Kokytos” by Daniel Glaus, multiplied, re-amplified, remixed & re-panned, a touch of delay & reverb added. I kept to roughly the same length as the original composition in order not to lose any of the various sound combinations.

Disquiet Junto Project 0658: Re-Amplify
The Assignment: Re-record and re-compose an organ improvisation by Daniel Glaus.

First I did a recording of a portable speaker output, recorded by a Zoom H1 in a Microwave. It somehow had a crazy humming in it. I recorded two sessions with the Zoom, recoding from the MacBook Speakers. And I tried to record with the Zoom the Output of earpods and changed the sound by holding the earpods closer or further away. All the time the windows were open, which explains the noise. The idea was to have organ-ic elements in it that are as improvised as the recut of the recordings.

Thanks to Daniel Glaus.

Organic Impro [disquiet0658]

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.

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.
