Emissions noize 2

This track was created by randomly fading in and out individually the instruments and recordings of the original track https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/winter-slow-and-even-tempered. The created spaces enrich the track, give more emphasis to the remaining instruments - and a deeper meaning of its own to this composition.  As contradictory as this may seem...

The creation was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0586 (details see below).

I owe my thanks to @user-957729823 (Ha Kéko) for providing the great field-recording https://soundcloud.com/user-957729823/snow-removal_2. An ambient version of this recording was created with PaulXStretch.
These tracks can be heard if hazard determines to fade them in...

Winter, slow and even-tempered, embracing Spaces (Disquiet0586)

Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Please note: While this is the third part of a three-part project sequence, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which have occurred over the course of three consecutive weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the third in a sequence that encourages and rewards asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0592 7). Note that you are finishing a trio: you’re creating the third part of what two previous musicians began. Please keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record an original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to a pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are tracks by numerous musicians to choose from. The majority are in this playlist:

It was an interesting balancing act, to add something fresh while still leave enough space for the original material to breathe.

This is my 2nd iteration.
Initially, I wanted to just record a drum part but wasn’t satisfied with the end result.
I wanted something more subtle.

So for the 2nd iteration, I came up with a process that allowed me to explore a few of my current interests at the same time. Probably that’s why I was willing to give this piece so much attention. Hm…

Below is a somewhat detailed description of the process and context.
It’s long & detailed, because I wanted to capture a few thoughts while they’re still fresh.

Context:

earlier this week, I studied interviews with Nils Frahm about his current improvised live concerts (How I Play Live: Nils Frahm | DJMag.com). My take-away for me was that playing all parts by hand (e.g. not relying on quantized sequencers) is a part of his organic sound that I like so much.
That motivated me to play keyboard a lot more - mostly piano & electric piano sounds with a touch of tape delay effect - and discover that this is currently my favorite thing to do, musically.

yesterday, I repaired the broken switch of the audio input preamp on my Buchla Easel, and my mind was naturally wondering about how to employ it in the next projects…

earlier today, I read an interview with Biosphere (In the studio with Biosphere | Headphone Commute) - another artist whose sound I like a lot.
I liked the idea of processing samples of acoustic instruments (he mentions sampling classical music) through synths/filters/etc.

yesterday, I found the perfect reverb effect pairing for the Easel - a modulated space reverb pedal.

All of the above coming together to form the idea for a process.

Messed around in MuseScore for this week's challenge, for something different.

Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

A Good Day Dawning(NaviarHaiku492)

A few minutes from my practice session with a simple improvisation setup: a portable electric piano through overdrive & compressor through tape delay.

I simply in love with how the stereo phaser & tremolo of the electric piano sound get transformed into that overdriven electric guitar soundscape that is constantly undulating and moving.

Disquiet Junto Project 0597: Goal Line
The Assignment: Get started on a plan by getting over getting started.

Step 1: For a lot of people right now, it’s around the start of summer. For many of them, it can mean the start of one plan or another. You may very well have musical goals for the next few months. Think of one to focus on.

Step 2: Don’t wait. Record one piece of music that kick-starts whatever goal you’re working toward. Often the first step is the most difficult. Take that step.

This week’s project takes the start of summer as its theme. And if it’s the start of winter where you are, instead, I hope that it can still apply.

This is the first of several pipe organ pieces I will be working on. The goal is to explore several types of organs for minimlist dronelike pieces of music. I am using the awesome virutal organs of the Virtual Organ Company, in this case the L'Orgue Couperin: http://www.virtualorgancompany.com/vritualvstfrenchbaroqueorgan.asp
The goal is to write music for the particular sound and sound possibilities of different pipe organs.
This project is inspired by the exceptional pipe organ work of Sarah Davachi, but of course I cannot imitate her, but have to go my own path.

The piece might match the form of Beethoven's Sixth "Pastoral" Symphony using mostly sculpted noise.

This original version of "49 Nudes & 6 Dogs In Church Arouse Cops" was submitted as part of Disquiet Junto Project 0601: Hard Six The Assignment: Let a roll of the dice determine the relative prominence of various parts of a track.

Process notes - 

6-sided die rolls were 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 1. These numbers helped determine the amounts of echo, warp flux, delay, echo offset, EQ freq, limiter ceiling & reverb for each track with 5/6 being highest and 1/6 being lowest. These numbers also determined frequency of occurrence in the track as a whole. These actions were all performed after the audio had been edited and brought into Ableton Live.

I used the following for the original recordings - three takes, one of backyard ambience, one adding xylophone and one primarily using my voice.

Intuitive, improvised electronic music. Soul search in sound.

Sonic Search is a way to explore my interests in art, abstract sound, improvisation and collaborative music practices. A way to connect to the Source. A personal sanctuary and retreat.

A former self-taught bass player, I've had a many-year break from music-making during a time of personal crisis. 

Gradually re-building my music practice, I'm grateful to all my friends who've been helping me along this journey.
