'I might embody the igneous bodies, carbon and non-carbon-based, forced through existing formations.
Settle like the dregs of the liquid left in thousands of bottles plasticizing the oceans.
I might recycle into non-recyclable thermal paper and coat with dyes and sensitizers and stabilizers and vaporise with heat. I’d roll.
Rolling and rolling, squeezing, a can, at each kick a bounce forward, future-ing. 
I can sense myself hovering, the +1 part per millions of CO2 trying not to take it personally and resent when you decarbonize and diminish me.
I can feel myself being tape, sticking things together, taping wires and mouths, un-taping, warping and buckling up.
I might emerge from a liquid solution, a precipitate, an insoluble solid suspension ejected and fallen at the bottom of a vial.
I might flat on the soil and bituminize to carry all steps on me and all of a sudden, tragically crack and let us plummet, crash.

Potrei assumere sostanza di corpi ignei, a base di carbonio o meno, spinti a forza attraverso
formazioni esistenti.
Depositarmi come fondi di liquidi rimasti in migliaia di bottiglie che plastificano l’oceano.
Potrei riciclarmi in carta termica non riciclabile e cospargermi di tinture e sensibilizzatori e stabilizzatori e poi evaporare per calore. Rotolerei.
Rotolare e rotolare, schiacciarmi, una lattina, a ogni calcio un balzo in avanti, futurizzare. 
Posso percepirmi fluttuare, la parte per milione di CO2 aggiuntiva, cercare di non prenderla sul personale e risentirmi quando decarbonizzate e mi diminuite.
Posso sentirmi essere scotch, scotchare le cose insieme, adesivare cavi e bocche, staccarmi, deformarmi e accartocciarmi.
Potrei emergere da una soluzione liquida, un precipitato, un solido insolubile, sospensione espulsa e caduta sul fondo di una fiala.
Potrei appiattirmi al suolo e bitumare per caricarmi di ogni passo e d’improvviso, creparmi tragicamente e lasciarci precipitare, schiantare.'

An exploration of not bells ... be careful, though ... the SoundCloud algorithm doesn't consider this music, and I didn't really want to "modify your track to make it eligible" for recommendation to potentially interested listeners! 😂

Cracked Bells (disquiet0682)

An electronic composition, sounds created using Pure Data and Audacity.



Thought Takes Flight (naviarhaiku577)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0682: Unring a Bell. The Assignment: What if you could?

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0682 discussion thread on Lines:

My interpretation of un-ringing was based on bell tones morphing and unraveling into other sounds. Initially tried to create this soundscape in Ableton Live but nothing seemed to click. Finally settled on using a small modular system for production. 

Put together a Morphagene reel in Adobe Audition using bell samples as well as atmospheric sounds from freesound.org. The patch routing went from Make Noise Morphagene, Bastl Ikarie, Holocene NLMM, and finally a Make Noise XOH out to an audio interface to Ableton. Manually played Morphagene as the composition progressed. Recorded and deleted multiple versions, till I was finally satisfied with this one. Added a bit of delay and reverb with Valhalla Supermassive. Bells photo by Shaouraav Shreshtha via Unsplash.

Bells Unraveling [disquiet0682]

The Assignment: What if you could?

There is just one step to this project. The idea that one cannot “unring a bell” is a fairly common saying, at least in English. But what if you could? What might it sound like? And what use might the unrung bell serve in the making of music. Please record a track in which you try to unring a bell.

SONG 67 - DisquietJunto0682 - Unring a Bell

This week's #disquietjunto prompt was to create some music "in which you try to unring a bell."

In practice, I recorded the sound of a gong from our school’s band room (it’s like a bell but BIGGER). Then I tried to create the little snippets of sound that would fly around as the bell rang and which our hard-working theoretical performer would eventually have to reassemble.

Disassembling the bell’s tone into fragments was fun and challenging. I loaded the bell into Anemond’s Factoid to break it up into pieces based on frequency ranges, which got me lots of little snippets (including the drone tones you hear now and then). I also loaded it into Synplant, which generated tons of weird synthetic bells that led me down various rabbit holes of sound design and thoroughly distracted me from this project. I also put the bell sample into Ableton’s Simpler, sliced it into snippets based on transients, and then used the Arpeggiator plug-in to play the snippets randomly.

Isolating and organizing all these fragments and new samples into a track was pretty challenging! Eventually, I outlined the structure of the track, which helped me find my way.

1) Bell tone
2) Bits and pieces dance around the stereo field and an attempt is made to reassemble them
3) The bell is rung again, but this time it sounds slightly different
4) Part of the tone breaks off into a drone while a few snippets flit around
Once again, the bell is reassembled, with a big reverse sound leading into…
5) A big, new bell sound (created by layering pitch-shifted iterations of the original sample)

You Wouldn't Unring A Bell (disquiet0682)

My piece is made with reversed bell sounds. Every time I tried to unring the bell it just rang normally, so I thought the only way to unring a bell is to reverse its sounds. 

While trying to unring a bell, I thought of the Lady Macbeth quote "What's done cannot be undone". As she is haunted by past events, I placed many echoes on my track to well, echo her emotions, as I'm sure it's something everyone can relate to.
