My contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0731. 

The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

My process: Video'd swirling ice in water in a wine glass -> looped using the Instruo eurorack module -> processed in multiple ways in parallel using other modules including (but not limited to): Strymon Magneto, Mutable Instruments Clouds, Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio, and various filters -> knobs twiddled live and recorded all in one take. 

Inspired (unconsciously) by Karl Ove Knausgaard's The Third Realm, which I'm currently reading.

This is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto Project 0732: Color Drenching.

The assignment:  Record a piece of music that you think sounds like color drenching. Note: The New York Times has described “color drenching” in interior design as “meaning the walls, ceiling and even trim are painted using the same [color].”

My process: The base is a recording I made of me playing the chimes of a sound installation at Boscombe pier about six or seven years. For some reason, these kind of harmonic sounds always conjure up a sense of "green-ness" for me. To "drench" the soundstage, I looped the recording at three different speeds and lengths in Ableton and multiplied each and fed through various effects and eight delay lines in my eurorack modular rack. 

My (unconscious) inspiration:  Vangelis' "Memories of Green", LTJ Bukem's "Atlantis (I Need You"), Terry Riley's "In C", and Steve Hillage's "Rainbow Dome Musick".
