Name: Coastal Rock Side - Storm-surge Washes by Andy Martin, Field Recordist in Glugging
Duration: 2 min 59 s
Description: We're not really in a hollow here. The storm surge is battering a really odd-shaped set of rocks and I'm trying desperately not to fall in.

Occasionally I see interesting tight squeezes and think, "My microphones can fit in there."

This is one of those times. Along the coast there are great big hollow rocks being slowly eroded by shallow saltwater waves. They aren't sea caves, at least not the kind you would stand in comfortably. When a wave pushes against the opening it makes a nice thump before slowly filling in. The water swirls for a bit, then slowly drains. At the right tide height with the right rocks it makes a nice "schlork" sound I like to refer to as "glugging".

As much fun as coastal recording can be, I'm much better with inland soundscapes. For some of the most interesting shoreline recordings you'll ever hear, you should check out my good friend Peter Comley  at http://www.petercomleysound.com/sound-effects-libraries1.html

As We Fell From Our Radiant Palaces

Album - Format: CD, Digital - Releases January 20, 2023

Everyday life is often filled with many small anxieties that we deal with by simply pretending they do not exist.
Sometimes they thicken beyond the horizon of our field of vision, turning into a sense of impending danger, a floating leviathan, an immense bird of prey hiding in the clouds above the skyscrapers ready to grab us. Our only defence is to try to ignore it, hoping that oblivion will slowly devour it, relegating it to another plane of existence.
And sometimes, it is simply like dreaming of suffocating...

Nothingness

A state where nothing is present, or where nothing exists that is important or gives meaning to life. (Cambridge Dictionary)

Stati di interdizione, stasi, sbilanciamento,, fluttuazione, indeterminazione.

Nothingness(disquiet0602)

News story from the Kentish Express archives, 2nd February, 1973.
May all news someday be this dreary.

Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede
The Assignment: Turn old news into new music.

Step 1: Locate an old news article, the less dramatic perhaps the better, from roughly 50 years ago. Try to find something local to where you live now or have lived.

Step 2: Use a text-to-speech tool to convert the article to audio. There are numerous such software applications, and no doubt discussion in the Junto thread on llllllll.co 1 will yield suggestions should you require one.

Step 3: Set to music the voice recording that resulted from Step 2. A length of two and a half to five minutes is recommended. Use an article sufficient to that length — you may end up not using the entire text. As the piece goes on, have the voice slowly get subsumed by the music, until by the end the voice is no longer intelligible — perhaps not even audible.

Note: In case the word isn’t familiar, a “lede” is “the opening sentence or paragraph of a news article, summarizing the most important aspects of the story.”

Game of Phaune, Episode #9: Au-delà du Cercle - Avec Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot

Aujourd’hui, on décolle avec nos oreilles dans les pas de Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot. On suit avec eux les traces sonores, fragiles et puissantes, de ces présences multiples qui peuplent un paysage sans heure.

Et si à l’aventure, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber, on sait qu’on va tomber. Ici : sur un moment de grâce et de beauté.

Entrelacement de vies, territoires chantés, goût de l’air et frisson du monde, c’est Game of Phaune #9, avec Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvot.


 ——

Today, we take off with our ears in the footsteps of Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot. With them, we follow the fragile and powerful sound traces of these multiple presences which populate a hourless landscape.

And if on an adventure you never know what you're going to fall in with, you know you're going to fall. Here: on a moment of grace and beauty.

Interweaving of lives, sung territories, taste of the air and thrill of the world, this is Game of Phaune #9, with Mélia Roger and Grégoire Chauvot.

We're not really in a hollow here. The storm surge is battering a really odd-shaped set of rocks and I'm trying desperately not to fall in.

Coastal Rock Side - Storm-surge Washes

That last bit of compression just before the water hits the underhand is so satisfying, especially with the blurp-y splash right after

Coastal Pocket

This is the archetypical coastal glugging hollow to me. Drained of water, you can hear the approaching surge through the hollow rocks. When it fills up, though, it's like a giant sloshing can. Only when the water drains does it sound like the open channel it really is.

This hollow gets deep. When the water was drained I could walk on the wet sand. After the surge, though, the fill limit was 2-3 feet.

Coastal Hollow - Surging Chamber

Another angle on the same surging chamber as before. I tried to focus a little more on the sloshing, but it's difficult to get a good aim when dangling mics from above.

Coastal Hollow - Surging Chamber 2

This nice, long chamber was further up the beach from the previous chambers. As such, it had a nice long surge and drain without ever staying full.

Coastal Hollow - The Tunnel

Like The Tunnel, this hollow was further up the beach from the rest. The difference here is that the actual fill chamber was deep inside the rock and I was only ever able to record through a crevice that looked into it. Rather than hearing the water slosh up and around in a wide stereo field, we instead mostly hear the reverberant surges and splashes. It has a nice giant "chamber" feel without any direct slosh.
