Disquiet Junto Submissions

c'è in giro da tempo una specie di 'nuova musica assoluta', astratta, che sta fra la cosiddetta 'ambient music' e la 'drone music', nei pressi dei cosiddetti 'soundscape' o, meglio ancora, degli 'innerscape' .. a volte ha tratti più 'cameristici', o addirittura per strumento solista, a volte è più 'sinfonica' .. a volte usa solo sonorità 'sintetiche', a volte invece anche strumenti 'tradizionali' .. ha antecedenti illustri, sia nella cosiddetta musica 'classica', diciamo storica, sia nella 'popular music' e nel jazz .. a quella soprattutto io guardo

The stars are always falling

I visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin a week ago and I felt overwhelmed since I walked in the first corridor.
The Memory Void, one of the symbolic spaces on the ground level of the Libeskind building, includes the installation Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves) by Menashe Kadishman. More than 10,000 faces with open mouths, cut from heavy round iron plates, cover the floor of the ground floor void.
Menashe Kadishman’s sculptures stir painful memories of the victims of war.
The soundscape you hear within the composition is a recording I made in the Void of people stepping on the iron plates.

Step 1: Locate the latest instrument, piece of music/sound software, or related technology that has come into your possession. 
Step 2: Employ only the single thing identified in Step 1 to compose and record a short track.

My latest purchase was a Tibetan Bowl you see in the photo, I bought it last Sunday in a garage sale here in Paris.  It was a deal and included 100 incense sticks ....
Now: my previous purchase was, like a year ago, another Tibetan Bowl, so I did many recordings using that one  in the past year. But the challenge forces me to go back into the bronze age. Again.

I used the two sound you make with this thing, _Tap_ that's a "hit" on the edge of the bowl with the fat wood stick/mallet and a _Rub_ drone turning the stick around the bowl's edges.
Then I just pitched up and down to several different notes and constructed this soundscape. But the source is just that single bowl. And 40 sec Lexicon Reverbs with Wah Wah...

No synth used off course, nothing but the bowl.

Friday 15th February 2019 in the morning.

Valentine's Bowl (disquiet0372)

i think the last instrument i got was art pyrite softsynth. i try not to get too much new stuff; work with what i've got (depth v breadth / necessity is the mother of invention etc)

i played for a few minutes and turned up the depth and feedback on the drone setting throughout. weirdly when i looked at the recording it said i'd been playing for over 9 minutes. just did a little limiting and normalized it.

This follows a Disquiet Junto challenge to create a piece of music which uses PI (3.1.4159).  To that end:

1) there are 3 voices (drone, bass, melody).
2) the piece is 31 bars long (4/4 time signature).
3) bass line is made from the steps of the dorian mode in the order 314159, repeated in that order.
4) the melody uses the the same steps of the dorian mode, 2 octaves higher and played in a random order.

The piece was played using the Strum script (by me @carvingcode)on the monome norns musical computer.  The drone is from the String Studio 3 AU by Applied Audio System.
