Willow Tree - GRP

Enceladus was one of the Gigantes from Greek mythology, a son of Gaea and Uranus, who is said to be buried under Mount Etna. More recently, he gave his name to Saturn's sixth-largest moon, discovered by Herschel in 1879 and thought by many to be the only other body in our solar-system that might harbour life. Could this be true? Why not join me on an inter-planetary mission to explore its icy depths and we can find out for ourselves...

Artwork is by the inspired collage artist, Harl Vind and is entitled "Gigantomaniacs".

Enceladus

Between Two Drops, with its slow ambient sounds, examines what a physical experience might be like between two events when interpreted audibly. Whether those two events are physical such as being shot or between emotional states of anguish the sound focuses the listener to hear what is not present in the actual event only what is felt.

I am a god, 
Of nothing I shape a little world
With a bite of each arm,
Subtle, nice and bold
It comes in many ways 
And i know by now
Beckon the ancient fires
This is my evening dress
I watch them glow
and I will stay
Your gnarly ghost
Happening at the same time:
Your shining guide,
Delight all the darling boys
With or without the old soul-and-so
You just can't bribe brightness

Sleepers should be dreamers, oh i know
It's so obvious it drives me crazy
Making up entire scenes
That used to taste so sweet to me
And if you want to catch those arrows on your bow
You should simply believe, and
Do & be & do do be do
Waahoooooooooo

I'm on a train of thought
I've got nothing but nought
I should have brought
My binoculars, oh 
See me boys, looking for something
I'm down in the dumplings,
Open the bin bag
Bragging and boasting, b&b
You're surely not just anybody
But what's in a name? 
You're not yourself,
You just can't bribe brightness

Sleepers should be dreamers, oh i know
It's so obvious it drives me crazy
Making up entire scenes
That used to taste so sweet to me
And if you want to catch those arrows on your bow
You should simply believe, and
Do & be & do do be do
Waahoooooooooo

Do & Be

This is the world premiere of the new work for double-bell horn, developed during the Virtual Brass Academy with Christine Chapman and Ensemble MusikFabrik, July 2020. This performance took place on July 30th, 2020 - in Cologne.
I am indebted to Ensemble MusikFabrik and the fantastic work they did with us in introducing us to the worlds of double-bell instruments, and to the ever-expanding repertoire of new music for these instruments they are bringing to the world.

The work explores a sense of dual forces that act and react upon each other, and how the relative mediator (the performer) indeed interacts with the score, the instrument and it's two bells, and finally how the theatre of the piece - both through actions and the position of the instrument - is transmitted to the audience. In the four sections of the piece that each explore a different facet of the manipulation of the horn - first through the use of a contra-bassoon reed to produce aggressive yet fulfilling multiphonics; then in the second and third exploring the two bells and their range of possibilities. The final section condenses the instrument down to only it's single-bell form and the mute and interacts briefly with it to express a settling within the performance. Gasping, grunting, growling and grandeur are all some of the ideas explored in this short miniature.

Understated Matter - for solo double-bell horn [premiere]

I decided, after looking at several of Martin's paintings, that I wanted to focus on that precision repetition, the light/dark alternation, and the subtle gradations of field.

The track is an improvisation inside Live, with one instance of the Buchla Music Easel (providing the upper-register track) and one of ARP 2600 V3 (providing the lower one), with Live's BrainDance and Squishy Beat Repeat effects to put in additional emergent rhythmic effects. I potted down both synths, gradually faded them in, and then slowly tweaked the filter frequency and resonance on the ARP, gradually adding in ore modulation from the ring modulator, then slowly removing it. The Buchla's variations came from tweaking the effects following it, but basically leaving the patch alone to imitate the regular ruled lines.

The Tree, 1964 [disquiet0456]

Second single by Philadelphia's indie-pop band Heliocentric Overdrive
Dedicated to all those explorers pushing the boundaries of human space exploration!
lyrics
Counting down
A million thoughts
now hold on
for dear life
cleared for launch
all systems go
the instruments
all come to life
final checks
ready for launch
t-minus zero
time to blast off
rocket thrust
it lifts off
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.

Out in space
traveling fast
exceed the limits
while hoping that
these very moments
forever last
so many dangers
but can’t look back

going further
than anyone
take precautions
but follow none
of the our steps
we leave the trace
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.
