Extract from program notes:

Working with a tropics-themed found sound library compiled solely from Hollywood feature films, Edin and Settergren have composed the six-channel piece Topos. They have chosen to focus exclusively on those sounds that, in the grand scope of Hollywood narrative, supply only a supplementary role. Room tones, ambiences, foley— sounds one might argue are present in a film not to be listened to as such, but rather not to be noticed missing, are in the present work singled out of their various (often heroic masculine) dramas and thrust centre stage. Here, contexts out of context, they are cast in roles altogether different than in their respective blockbusters.

(WE'VE GOT) HONEY LOVE

written for EXAUDI as part of my Masters at GSMD

recorded by EXAUDI with James Weeks 06.10.20

(WE'VE GOT) HONEY LOVE

Composed and performed by DD (Friday 30th October 2020) and Luis Rigou (circa 2015)

for this junto challenge "Record a piece of music that moves back and forth between two inhospitable zones before finding one, à la Goldilocks and the Three Bears, that is just right."


I made a parallel accompaniment for a discarded quena (south-american indian flute) performed years ago by my friend the great Luis Rigou.
Completely removed the old acoustic  tracks/accompaniment and made a "comfort" one ( a tame groove of pizz strings samples and upright bass C minor pentatonic) and an uncomfortably one (C diminished performed on dystopian orchestral samples and a different flute performed on a different key)

The final mix goes back and forth from the comfort and the disturbing track.
Love

Looking For The Comfort Zone (disquiet0461)

In August 2020 there was a few days of some intense thunderstorms across the UK. On this particular day I put my microphone rig out under the cover of a large hedge outside my flat and recorded for several hours. For most of the recording the hedge was inhabited also by a robin, who sang softly throughout most of the storm. 

This is a short excerpt from that longer recording where I like the density of the rain, and where the song cuts through just enough. It was the middle of the day so you'll hear some traffic and other sounds of activity from where I live, at the edge of a city.

« Lumière indomptable » I for orchestra (2020)

Red Rock Gorge Camp Ground in Sundown National Park, Queensland, beside the small dam at the Northern end, around midnight. Zoom F6, Rode NT55-MP with cardioid capsules, Rycote BBGs with wind jammers, ORTF. Three species of frog can be heard calling. I think they are: Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peronii, pok, ..., pok, ....), Smooth Toadlet (Uperoleia laevigata, creeek), and Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog (Litoria fallax, buzz like running a nail down a comb).
