"I think someone is trying to drive you crazy before finally killing you."

A tribute to an early work by the master of Giallo, Dario Argento. Long on style, short on logic, the movie is a twisted tale of murder. The original score by Morricone naturally sets a very high bar, and I am confident I might, with luck, one day manage to limbo under it. In the meantime: my own poor alternative take… Made & mixed live in AUM on IPad, using Hilda, Sopranotron, Speldosa, et al. Sequencing by midiDreams. No keyboards harmed during making of the piece.

Sonatina no.4 (for pianoforte) - Argentine winter

Jóhanna had cramped feelings about the abandoned mountain hut, where she found a new red jacket....

I recorded a track, then played it through a Bluetooth receiver at the limit of its transmission range. I also recorded the EMF around the receiver, while playing the same track at distance. 

The three tracks were merged, using vocoders, and AudioThing's Motor to help add some musicality to the broken Bluetooth track.

The Hermit

A sample of tracks from my record Ginkgo. Originally released February 28, 2020 on Muzan Editions. Available at rjraffa.bandcamp.com/album/ginkgo

From Muzan Editions:
"Ryan J Raffa’s latest release is an engrossing listen that questions the things we understand, the forms of unspoken communication we take for granted, and amplifies the sense of personal, cultural or geographical dislocation we sometimes feel; to quote the artist himself, 'Our quest of sense-making can deliver us far from truth.'

Created in parallel with a short story about 'living under an occupation' - which occupation I am unsure- details are scant, but I hope to read this story one day - adds to the narrative flow throughout, carrying an album full of plaintive melodies in forward motion that is well-crafted, full of smart harmonic moves and essentially human and demands one-pointed listening."

“Gorgeous, highly textural ambient...an emotional close listen.”
