Enjoying this synth meltdown and [vocoded?] voices. Great stuff!

Wonderful!  I had the comic up on another tab, so I looked at that while listening to your track.  It really matched up and flowed with the comic.  I love the part with the synth breakdown - such a perfect feeling for the end!

oh, I think I need a clock that tells me the time this way :)

to me your sonic version of the ending is exactly like the picture, well done

"It's 1:15."  I think EVERYONE loves that!  I do.  You could have posted that one bit all by itself, it sounds soooo good!  It's midnight.  Is this real, or am I dreaming?

Very surreal and atmospheric!  I really enjoyed your piece!

This one is my first new mix in over a year and a half; it's dedicated to what has become my favourite musical space: expansive, melodic, spacious and weighty dubwise/dubtechno music. Starting at around 112 bpm and ending at 160 over the course of almost 2 and a half hours, this is a mix I'd been meaning to put together for some time now and I'm so happy to share it now. As always, listen on some quality speakers or headphones; this sort of music especially benefits from proper low end as you know.

Recorded in Serato on two Technics 1200s, a Rane 72MKII and with live dubbing on a Benidub dub siren and Roland space echo pedal.

Specta Ciera - Surface Light

This was a final project for my sound design course... six separate renditions of the same minute's worth of dialogue. 

My project was inspired by my dear friend Matt Madden's 2005 comic "99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises In Style" and before that Raymond Queneau's 1947 book "Exercices de Style". Check them out!!!

The dialogue is a mash-up of multiple, random eavesdropped conversation fragments overheard while making my way around NYC. So no... it is NOT necessarily a linear narrative!!! (Disclaimer: I am still editing several sections, so this is a work-in-progress)

Thanks to everyone for all the help!!!!!

So you can follow the bouncing ball:

- Oh. You.
- Yeah.
- I’ll take it that you’re not real hot on this.
- It’s just sand and a coral seahorse sticker.
- I was like “I’ve got nothing to lose, so…”
- It’s too loud. It’s too colorful.
- But it means so much to me.
- Wait, did you see that?
- See what?
- Oh my god, oh my god. I can prove it. It's really happening.
- You’re lying, right?
- You know, can you please just be quiet?
- Why can't I....why. Why? Why can't I bring it up?
- Because you would lose that argument.
- Apparently, I cannot share my opinion without being looked down upon.
- I just pull the trigger when they tell me to.
- I’m outta here.
- Well, this isn’t about you. I make the toys man!

"Timelapse" - [disquiet0014-oumupo]

My interpretation of Matt's work is one of the juxtoposition of the sense of time being both escaped and in escapement. 

By not using my own field recordings, I feel like a bit of a cheat with this week's Junto. Using Freesound.org was the only way I was going to be able to participate.
My trusty ZoomH4n was not to hand :(

My first contribution to the Disquiet project, all done in one single day (busy Bank Holiday weekend).

Maybe a bit too repetetive. Should have given myself more time, but there we go.

Lazy Day (disquiet0014-oumupo)

This is something I created for the latest Disquiet Junto project. The assignment involves creating a sonic narrative for a comic created by Matt Madden. We had a lot of freedom to do whatever we wanted – straight narrative or abstract rendition.
 
The piece 1:15 am is constructed of a coil recording of my laptop, drones and tones, and a field recording of my refridgerator at the end. I also used the mac speech feature to record the dialog, but ended up granulating and delaying the sound, which you will hear midway through. My goal was to express the strange feeling of 1:15 am, especially when you’ve lost track of time.

What is there left to do?
Can't we do something new?
I found my old guitar,
I'll tune it up and play for you.
