Birds, Part 3

This is a live electric guitar soundscape (recorded October 9th 2024 in Paris, France)
for this haiku  by: Jason Richardson

Through a world of sound
the only filter I have
my discerning ear


I used my 1984 Schecter Stratocaster with several pedals by Line6, Gamechanger Audio, Rodemberg and Seymour Duncan and my Boss volume pedal

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0673: Switchback. The assignment: Record a piece of music in which you make loud that which is usually quiet and quiet that which is usually loud.
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0673 discussion thread on Lines:
One approach I use in creating ambient soundscapes is to lay down a foundation drone and layer melodies and other tracks on top. The drone is usually much quieter than the rest of the tracks. In following this week's prompt, the foundation track with noise is louder while the others are quieter, to the point that they all blend together.
This was created in Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Spectres and Choreographs, along with built-in instruments. Waves photo by Cee Ayes via Unsplash.

Hell Canto

On 7.10.23, Palestinian forces, led by Hamas, broke down the fence separating the Gaza enclave from Israel and unleashed a savage day of slaughter and kidnapping that ended with 1,195 dead on the Israeli side and 251 taken as hostages. The Israeli response was just as savage but much longer lasting and much, much more devastating. It resulted (at the time of writing) in around 72,000 deaths (70,000 - most likely, many more - Palestinians, largely non combatants, and 2,000 Israelis, largely soldiers) in Gaza, as well as at least 170,000 Palestinians injured, compounded by a genocidal policy of starvation and destruction of civil order. A response that has destroyed most of Gaza and accelerated the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank - where there have been around 1,000 Palestinian deaths caused by Israeli settlers and the IDF since October ’23. There have also been many deaths and injured in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen.

The horrors of the Unholy Land felt near at home, and like the invasion of Ukraine, pushed me to give some kind of personal response - however pointless and inadequate - beyond following and sharing news and commentaries. Already far into Luna rising, a text and electronica album about Ukraine and Russia, I didn't feel capable of responding with texts so I embarked on a wordless album called Hell Canto.

The parameters are the same for each of the Hell Canto pieces. I’d call the methodology a way of comprovisation, of making sound poetry, derived from vocal improvisations and electronic manipulations. In November '25, having recorded 50 pieces, decided to stop adding more - also the fragile and unlikely October '25 ceasefire remains in place though in practice the word ‘ceasefire’ is a bad joke, with no sign of real peace and humanitarian and political solutions on the horizon. I’ve listened through the 50 pieces and chosen 27 that I’d like to be included in the album and 23 which are orphans for the time being at least. The 27 pieces come to a total of 80 minutes which might be too long for a CD. It’s not sure yet. Anyway, for now there are 2 Soundcloud playlists - the 27 in the draft order for the album, and the 23 which for now are in order of recording.
