Disquiet Junto Project 0413: Objective Thankfulness

March 7th 2021, 7:30 am. Recorded with LOM Uši Pro into MixPre6ii

Among others: tits, nuthatches, woodpeckers, wood pigeons ...

This recording was done with a LOM Geofón at Tystigbreen glacier in Stryn, Norway. I simply buried the Geofón in the snow hoping for the best. Turned out to be a great recording, although I had to push the gain quite a bit in post. In the beginning there’s a snowcat passing 300 meters away, and towards the end an airplane can be heard. These are reference sounds I left in the recording. Quite a lot of thuds from the moving glacier is heard during the recording.

Border(disquiet0413)

At the end of 2018, I bought an Empress Reverb box.  It was $449.  I have used it constantly throughout 2019.  I can't imagine ever getting rid of it.

Why the Empress Reverb?  There are no menus.  I can't stand menus.  This thing, you just turn a knob and then you turn some other knobs.  Then listen.  It just makes everything more beautiful.  Even something like "reverse", which I have almost never used in a DAW because it's so obvious and cheesy, transforms the audio spectacularly with the right combination of the various knobs.

"Process Opaque" is a recent creation, released under my alter ego Ambient Matyk.  I don't know what setting this was.  I don't keep notes.

I've been kicking around the idea of buying the Empress Echosystem (also $449) and using the two together.  I might wait to buy that in mid-2020.  No hurry.  I'm having too much fun with the Reverb for now.

Process Opaque (disquiet0413)

The instrument I chose as thankful for is my Fender acoustic guitar. Not exactly the most expensive guitar I've owned, but I get a lot of enjoyment playing it.
The piece is something I've been playing for years and never had a title for. Never recorded it before, it has just been something to play. I recorded with a combination of the guitar's pickup, an SM57 and an Aston Origin --- a mic I really like the sound of, even though it slightly picks up a radio station. (and no, it is not the mic cable or interface. Ugh.) Then a little eq on each track, and Ozone 8 on the master bus.

If We Must Die (Version)- disquiet0413

Vega lap steel -> Boss compressor -> volume pedal -> TC Electronics delay -> Alesis reverb. Thanks to Greg Wells who gave me the Vega lap steel so many years ago! It opened up new sonic worlds to me.

disquiet0413 objective thankfulness

It's been a while since I last had the time and opportunity to participate in the Junto. Today I woke up at 4.30AM so I had plenty of time...
As my response to this weeks assignment, I chose to use a recent recording I made while visiting the biennale in Venice a few weeks ago - yes, I was there in the week of the floods - no, I didn't record any of that.
This recording was done at night at the vaporetto stop at Sant' Elena - the eastern most island of Venice - there was a really nice squeaky sound from the landing dock rubbing against the poles that caught my attention...
I haven't done any editing - this is the original recording that I made with my trusty Sony PCM D100. A recorder that I'm particularly  thankful for.


Disquiet Junto Project 0413: Objective Thankfulness
The Assignment: Highlight one piece of musical equipment for which you are particularly grateful.

Step 1: Think about all the tools you use to make music, hardware and soft.

Step 2: Focus on one tool for which you have, of late, been particularly thankful.

Step 3: Record a piece of music highlighting that tool’s employment. When doing so, imagine that the creator(s) of the tool might have the opportunity to hear it.

Step 4: When posting the completed track online, be sure to describe what the tool is, and why you chose to highlight it.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
