A new game for new children in a new century, echoes of old mistakes, history on repeat, maybe next time! Lets go to the moon, but not without anticipation, passion, wonder, and regret. Would they recognise themselves as children?

A tribute too Georges Bizet's Op 22 for piano, go listen.

This piano is electric, as is the bass, the found sounds are eclectic: cornwall and NASA, in flight, and in repose. The space inhabited is by Sean Costello/Valhalla DSP.

This frosty world [disquiet0680]

Resonant/reverberant space is something I've thought about a lot since high school, but I never have dragged mics and equipment into a concrete stairwell or washroom before today.

I work at Alfred University in New York and our division of Expanded Media in the School of Art & Design has a four story stairwell which feeds the back of house to two of our galleries and the sonic/video arts studios. I set out four Tascam DR-100 field recorders and captured the sound of my wallet being dropped from the highest point to the lowest. In the accompanying artwork you can see two pictures of this stairwell (one from the bottom looking up [the bottom left picture], and one from the top looking down [the top right picture]). My calves always tighten up a bit at the top.

For the less reverberant space, I chose an old storage closet we're in the midst of transforming into a vocal/studio booth. It has rubberized floors, and a much lower drop-ceiling. I placed the quartet of recorders in the corners of the room, and then dropped my wallet from a much shorter height to the floor. You can see two images from this room set up in the other half of the cover art.

All of this for less than five seconds of audio total. In the first two seconds you'll hear the initial hit of the wallet, followed by a second quieter hit after it bounced in the concrete stairwell. At four seconds you hear the other room with a much more muted single drop (which to my ears sounds a bit like a champagne cork popping, but I've had champagne maybe twice in my life so I probably don't really know what that sounds like.)

using 20 resonance tones I recorded on a toy piano and acoustic guitar, I've responded to this week's @naviar-haiku music challenge, of which you can find details about here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge/

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0686: Catch Your Breath. The Assignment: Listen to yourself inhale and exhale; make music from what you sense.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0686 discussion thread on Lines:

Lately, I’ve been thinking of experimenting with music that could evoke the empty, transitional, surreal, and perhaps eerie aesthetics of liminal spaces. This week’s prompt about breathing seemed like it would make for an interesting soundscape if combined with that vibe. 

This was produced in Ableton Live 12 using Slate + Ash Spectres Multisample. Two tracks were created using a MIDI keyboard, with built-in effects. Additional atmospheric tracks were added from various field recording samples that were recorded last week.

SONG 74 - Naviarhaiku581

drum and bass beats, melodies, and textural samples from several different companies (ethereal 2080, shaman stems, glitched tones, touch loops, undrgrnd sounds), two tracks of live guitar, one synth melody (arturia pigments) and one channel of morse code ("plunging my hand into the lake... billowing clouds") played on a group of randomly triggered small cymbals at 170bpm. the track closes with a sample of toluca lake.

Solo work. Electric guitar, baritone guitar, drums. All recorded at different sessions then layered together afterwards. On baritone guitar I was exploring with snare resonance. I put a small snare on top of the guitar cabinet.
