Dreaming Of Insects (naviarhaiku374)

A literal interpretation of John Cage's proposition:  “The sound of a truck at fifty miles per hour. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments.” 
It comprises a number of short recordings of the above-mentioned elements, randomly assembled into three longer sequences played simultaneously.

Tuned Silence (disquiet0607)

Prompted by the mention of Youtube, I looked at a few of my videos of a few years ago, concentrating on soundscapes & musique concrète. For most captions were unavailable but, quite strangely & randomly, one came up with the following word sequence: 'hai hai ya Aku nggak Tahu hai', which turned out to be in Malay &, not counting the repetitions of 'hai', means: 'Hi, I don't know' (according to Google Translate). Strangely again, when I revisited the video the captions had disappeared.
Anyway, I recorded this word sequence a few times & after applying numerous repetitions & effects, this track was the result.

Random Ignorance (disquiet0608)

A live electronic com;position created in Pure Data.

Moonrays & Shadows (naviarhaiku504)

Many thanks to the relevant artists for the three tracks I used. I downloaded them simply because they are around the same length:
undermulden - Sleep Spindles
wasabicube - chwe deg
Johanthan Zorn - Disquiet0609 60bpm
After changing the tempo as required, extensive editing & a touch of reverb, this is the result.

Quickly (naviarhaiku527)

It is impossible to replace the elements of a complex instrumental or electronic track with a single voice. Hence I just roughly imitated the basic tempo of my recent video soundtrack 'Drive' 
(available at https://youtu.be/cCRMg1JtFrM)
I recorded my vocalisations while playing the track then added various fx to create the illusion of multiple voices. The final result does not bear much resemblance to the original but was fun to do and should not be taken too seriously.

Frisson  (naviarhaiku528)

This track includes a vintage vinyl recording of the Aria & Variation 1 from the Goldberg Variations played by Wilhelm Kempff (available on the Internet Archive). After it was subjected to numerous filters and a touch of reverb, etc, some evolving electronic drone was superimposed. The original piano recording gradually loses clarity as the track progresses.

I wanted to create a more interesting standalone track & (I hope) have done this by carefully applying numerous tweaks to the dynamics plus a degree of delay & reverb.
