sound art for disquiet0666.

Took some found objects I had been using like gongs and bashed them up with a hammer to get more of a wonky sound out of them (pedal bin lid, paint tin, bbq lid). Then played them with animal bones and a stick that landed on my head when I was out for a walk. Added a bit of nail violin. No effects, just EQing.

Part of making art/music is embracing the daemonic aspect of yourself as something useful, and creating a space where mischief is a positive.

a prayer for mischief (disquiet0666)

This week marks the 666th consecutive week of Disquiet Junto. To mark the beastly weekly number, I reached back in time and came back with an early industrial number about the "satanic panic" of the 1980s.

Samples were cut from found-sound vintage news broadcasts and some from created from synthetic sources. The line about boys wearing makeup is a nod to my youthful pre-trans confusion. I tried to stay true-to-period with the drum machine and the arpeggiators, while keeping the synths evocative but ambiguous.

Put on your black t-shirt and your favorite headphones, and enjoy the imaginary 1988 demo version of “Satanic Panic”.

Process notes -
For this, I started with a very casual absently-minded piano piece using QuNexus, Noire Felt & Bitwig. I pulled a section of this - highlighting a scale including some quarter tones also making use of the flatted-fifth, (”The Devil’s Interval”), for this Disquiet Junto and another section for this week’s Naviar Haiku. Along with the piano part, I pulled into Ableton Live a resampled and stretched piece of the piano alongside a section of a SurgeXT improvisation earlier in the night.  I added some effects while in Ableton. 

Tools used - Bitwig, Ableton Live, Jasper Marsalis' Tone Resonator, Puremagnetik Pastfabric & Zerone, Surge XT, Noire piano.

Devil's Train of Thought (disquiet0666)

recorded separate layers on my modular system: stuttering voice (radio music sample thru beads), noise swell (mainly plaits), clicks (turing machine gate outs directly into mixer), simple tonal sequence (plaits fm voice)

combined in ableton live with some automation. listening again, maybe held back a bit on the noise swell. so it's more easy listening than originally intended

id_23 - DCLXVI - everything goes smoothly - Disquiet0666

Created using some numerology inspired input.: 

“In China, 666 can mean "everything goes smoothly" (the number six has the same pronunciation as the character 溜, which means "smooth"

666 is also the sum of the squares of the first seven primes (2x2 + 3x3 + 5x5 + 7x7 + 11x11 + 13x13 + 17x17)

666 is the sum of the first thirty-six natural numbers, which makes it a triangular number:
Since 36 is also triangular, 666 is a doubly triangular number.  

Also, 36 = 15 + 21 where 15 and 21 are triangular as well, whose squares (15x15 = 225 and 21x21 = 441) add to 666 and have a difference of 216 = 6 × 6 × 6.”


I used several ideas from the above info lifted from Wikipedia .

For instance: 

36 bpm
36 bars
36 note sequence 
Prime Number sequence / steps/events
Especially 15 & 21
Note duration 6.66 seconds
(Chord 6 add 9
G Blues)

FX
Filterstep
Other Desert Cities
Crystals 
Blackhole
Diffuse
Modnetic 
Cascade
Velvet Machine
Stellarvox 

Synths 
King of Digital/FM
Tera Pro

sequencers
Harmony Bloom
Euclidean (4 pockets) prime numbers as events etc.

Process notes -
I started in Reason, using a xylophone sound and two arpeggiated synths. I did two different versions. I brought the entirety of the second longer version plus some of the first into Ableton Live 12.1. Here, I added some alto sax from 2018 and a bit of a manipulated guitar recording from 2008.

Tools used - 
Reason, NN-XT, Europa, Ableton Live, Granulator III, alto sax, Cort Zenox, native Live & Reason effects, iZotope Nectar & Ozone.

Mister, Have You Seen My Dog?  (disquiet0667)

A response to Disquiet Junto 0667: Neighbor of the Beast.

I didn’t know how well I’d fit in with the new neighborhood, but so far people have been really friendly. My neighbor even invited me over for a jam session. Most people assume he’s just a fiddler but he plays a mean ebow too. It’s nice to be welcomed into the circle.

Features live ebow guitar and slide steel, live bass, and hand-programmed drums. Samples include pink noise, the bells of St Paul's Cathedral in London, and a musical theatre performance heard from outside. (Listening back, it seems I accidentally made a Shepherd scale at the end there!)

Circle Six (The Heretics) (disquiet0667)

sound art for disquiet0667.

I took two seperate recordings I made of cathedral bells and played them with a bone conduction speaker through various resonant metal objects (radiator, tins, bin lid). I made a recording of each object (contact mics) with the seperate tracks and panned them hard left and right. The tins were bashed up and irregular and that’s where the buzzing tones come from. No effects, just EQing.

when the devil sleeps he dreams of heaven [disquiet0667]

Artist and non-musician making visionary sound art with found objects.

I collect litter and make small scale sonic sculptures and rudimentary instruments. When I play them I’m thinking of natural rhythms like the wind in the trees or animal movements.
