Amaterasu Ōmikami

I accidentally found this forgotten sequence in my library. Nothing extra-ordinary, just a fine collection of 'travel music' of different sorts. Once a pilgrim, always a pilgrim.

More on this 624th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Fresh Pair (The Assignment: Combine two influences, however disparate they may be), at: https://disquiet.com/0624/

For my response to the disquiet brief, the two musical influences behind this track are David Sylvian - here referred to through elements of the amazing 'Ghosts' by his band, Japan, in the 1980s - and Brian Eno - through the use of extended, ambient, structures and the use of chance. 

The 'ghost' here is Alain Badiou - a more philosophical influence - talking about desire in his lectures on change, which can be found @ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_QaFDCZn9rDGSOG_wWK0GZTNKzHgohgC&si=JHUCCic-FxDudNwK

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰

Gwyddion Flint: British interdisciplinary artist, writer and electronic musician performing under the name Xanadüüm. Please view my Bandcamp page for Official Releases. Link below.

Recently reviewed by Electronic Sound Magazine for the album: inverted Terrain, and featured on DJ Lola Haro's Kiosk Radio liveset from Brussels.

Back in 2013 Gwyddion Flint collaborated with David Tibet from the experimental band ‘Current 93’ in creating a sound installation at the Eastbourne's Redoubt for the exhibition: Archive Fever in the South of England.

The film ‘Brutalist’, a contemporary dance, electronic music and spoken word film was created in conjunction with ‘Collabs’, a London-based platform (headed by producer Dan Lowenstein) for arts collaboration of all kinds, utilising Gwyddion's poem ‘In the City of My Body’ to create an experimental film and dance work in 2018 utilising electronic music. (Can be viewed on  YouTube and Vimeo) 

Gwyddion has exhibited his visual artwork nationally in the U.K. and is now beginning to exhibit internationally, along with his poetry and other writing currently available through Amazon (under the title: A Hymn to Proteus) and publishing platform Medium.

His artwork is heavily influenced by Buddhism, philosophy, psychology and future technologies. Previous works have included psycho-geographical and hoax art elements, such as the Hopwas Project, where he buried two copper plates and other occult artifacts in a Staffordshire woodland that were later found and written about in local newspapers and online, sparking an interest into the woodland’s past that became international.

Despite some of the more elaborate artworks and installations that he has created he always comes back to pencil drawing, poetry and prose as his main source of inspiration. 

His poetry is primarily created as spoken word works to be accompanied by synth soundscapes and imagery, both live and recorded initially encouraged by a chance meeting with Alan Moore.

He is a qualified yoga instructor and practices and teaches vipassana meditation which he studied while living in various monasteries for a year and a half as a Buddhist monk and later while living and traveling in South East Asia and India.

I've been making electronic music since I bought my first synth (a Juno-60) and a Tascam 4-track way back in about 1986. I work with singer-songwriters and performance artists, and compose for modern dance and theatre. The pieces here represent recent electronic instrumentals, where I’m exploring/experimenting/having fun with 'pop' music production techniques and composition. I currently live in Tokyo, and am interested in collaborating with other artists. You can hear my PhD compositions here: https://soundcloud.com/mphorrocks
