wonderful, I can clos emy eyes and picture Plaça de Catalunya right on. At least how it used to be. Guess it is different now.

halF separatioN [disquiet0628]

sound art for disquiet0628.

"The operation of Separation in which the black, earthbound Soul Bird splits into two white birds that retrieve the saved remains of Calcination and Dissolution."

Found objects:
Cassette audio book of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull read by the author Richard Bach. (I found this cassette over a decade ago)
Metal grill from an electric fire.
Two metal feet for baths in the shape of eagles claws. (Found on the Thursday morning of the Disquiet Junto)
Seagull feather.

I strummed the grill with the feather and clanged the metal feet.
I made a random word collage with the cassette and panned one lot of voices hard left and another hard right to create two birds from one.
The word collage was made by fast forwarding and pressing play on a tape deck. Lots and lots of layers. Some recorded with contact mics attached to the speakers, some jammed underneath and some attached to the metal grill which was jammed under the speaker.

One of the phrases that appeared in the collage was “if you wish to learn” which is where the track title comes from.

No effects, just the objects and some EQing.

the good fairy

A three-part sequence created in Pure Data & edited or enhanced with Audacity. Hence just two 'tools' were used with a relatively minimalist approach.

Crushed (disquiet0630)

"Take one held tone and make it dance slowly"

HI, I used a single Saw waveform playing a C note. I made it evolve using the Mod-wheel mapped to filter frequency cutoff and the knobs and faders of my midi controller mapped to tweak filters and LFO in real time.
Recorded two parallel tracks, one tweaking a square waveform LFO1 mapped to "volume" , the second track tweaking a pulse LFO2 mapped to Filter-Cutoff.

Disquiet Junto 0636: Left - 1 of 3 [disquiet0636]

This track is an asynchronous collaboration with @user-807707609 (he_nu_ri) and @mikey_a as part of the Disquiet Junto Project: I was inspired by the wonderful track https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637 created by these two artists and added the sounds in the middle of the stereo field.

I tried to build on this soundtrack of a peaceful flowing river and add some more musical dimensions. A river can be a metaphor for many different things - and I would like to leave it up to the listener to reflect on this image.

Conciliabule

December, 2010. Suss Müsik is walking the streets of Barcelona at night. It’s Christmastime, so the city is illuminated in celebration of the upcoming holiday. 

Suss Müsik notices a pattern in the decorations. One cobblestone street is lined with circular disks of white light; another has rainbow-colored rectangles hanging from the lampposts. The two streets meet at a public square just a few blocks from La Rambla. Suss Müsik determines this intersection to be the Chromogenic Nexus.

A man is photographing the holiday lights around the square. Suss Müsik watches the man from a distance as he stows his tripod and camera equipment and revs up his motorbike. Suss Müsik mentally assigns this gentleman the job title Keeper of the Chomogenic Nexus. It’s a big responsibility.

The Chromogenic Nexus is the metaphorical congruence that personifies this beautiful, fantastic city. It’s a place where new and old worlds mesh perfectly, where a tour of Casa Batlló concludes with a 3D hologram of Antoni Gaudí waving you goodbye. 

The Barcelona Sound Machine embraces this city’s Medieval origins, its Nouveau and Gothic architecture, its love of competitive sport, its cultural fluctuations, its nautical cuisine, its Catalonian nationalism.

It’s an audio landscape inspired by multiple generations of artists. If it were a gallery, it would display the surrealistic paintings of Joan Miró alongside prototypes built by Universitat Autònoma students, the two separated by 100 years and a mere 26 kilometers.

It’s a late-night ride on the FGC, where on the station wall a numeric display counts down incoming arrivals to within a microsecond of accuracy.

It’s the bronzed foam topping on a strong cup of coffee, enjoyed outside while gazing at a store mannequin that seems just a bit too realistic. Next door is a shop that sells nothing but scissors. 

To Suss Müsik, ultimately, the Barcelona Sound Machine is a glitchy, multilayered, counterpoint homage to the Keeper of the Chromogenic Nexus. Godspeed to the Keeper, he who balances our understanding of what has taken place and what yet may happen.
