kinda gnarly - something like a callsign & fairly brutal sferic distortion

Second attempt to make some music for disquiet0523 according to this rule: Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it. I made up all of the beats and the tonal stuff from recording Ice in a cocktail glass+ Wine glass. I Never knew I would make a conga from an ice cube. SO this was a fun exericise! 

Strings attached: Partly from a sample from a Norwegian String quartet, playing short phrases, that I stretched out to very large segments in Melodyne, altering tonality and time, and additional strings from the Wonderful Spitfire Audio.. Focusing on Strange Overtones...

This piece of music is built on the track https://soundcloud.com/fnubi/cameo-unfinished-disquiet0525 by @Fnubi following the Disquiet Junto project 0526 (details below).
It was inspired by a concert of the lautten compagney Berlin playing arias of Johann Philipp Krieger in the rococo theatre of Schwetzingen Palace. The title of the track (english translation "hope delights the sad mind") is a quote from the aria "Hoffnung ernähret die liebenden Herzen" by Krieger.

Inferno XXIII [disquiet0529]

Among the themes Don DeLillo explores in his excellent novel White Noise is the miasma of uncertainty: a deep foreboding that eclipses human existence like a noxious cloud. The genius of the novel, which some argue to be DeLillo’s best work, is represented by moments of dry humor and domestic banality that poke through its chemically worrisome haze. Consider this passage by the story’s narrator:

“I opened the refrigerator door, peered into the freezer compartment. A strange crackling sound came off the plastic food wrap, the snug covering for half eaten things, the Ziploc sacks of livers and ribs, all gleaming with sleety crystals. A cold dry sizzle. A sound like some element breaking down, resolving itself into Freon vapors. An eerie static, insistent but near subliminal, that made me think of wintering souls, some form of dormant life approaching the threshold of perception.”

This is the intention Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto assignment. The goal was to create a “cold dry sizzle … insistent but near subliminal, approaching the threshold of perception.” A disquieting yet enveloping calm. Various forms of white noise were recorded and altered using VCV Rack modules, with an external Chase Bliss Dark Worlds pedal adding extra tones. 

The piece, titled DeLillo, was recorded live to 8-track and mastered quickly. 

It must be mentioned that, as of this writing, the world is undergoing significant trauma. Suss Müsik is reminded of another passage from White Noise that feels oddly appropriate: “War is the form nostalgia takes when men are hard-pressed to say something good about their country.” 

May peace be with us all.

The Serpent and the Egg (disquiet0478)

Ryan Scott Mattingly's work sets washes of noise alongside sounds from daily life creating melodic songscapes with traditional acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin, double bass),  electronics (synthesizer, pedal steel) and homemade instruments, weaving those juxtapositions into grandiose, otherworldly textures.
