outside i hear the sound of rain
for the first time in a year.
the last time i heard it
your voice was in my ear.

asking for something
meaningless it seemed
but now that i think back
it means so much to me.

the small things
you said
i wrote some of them down.
and when i
read them
i see your face now

memories are just that;
thoughts that i have.
ill never see your face
again.

rain outside

thoughts before recording:

ive not felt this off-kilter in years, and its because I’m just trying to focus.
i noticed this morning that somethings been off about me; how i think.
i never noticed how much faces i walk past every day until i was looking for one.
i wasn’t even trying to look for a face, really.
i dont really know who i was looking for.
well, i know who i was looking for, but it felt like i gave up 5 minutes in.
why did i keep looking for the rest of the day?
it felt like i knew everybody at the same time.
it was cold.
im absolutely helpless.
when i woke up this morning i saw the face of someone i can’t really imagine anymore.
we were back in my old house where i lived.
i need to learn how to let go of things.
i want to hold on because if i dont remember it then what was the point of it existing in the first place.
i dont like how i think.
i dont like that i dont feel as much as i used to.
whenever i feel things they’re too extreme.
i wonder if this is how things are going to be from now on.
nothings really changed about myself, im still the same.
what am i doing; not focusing, that’s for sure.

05   Fragments Of The Universe   Copelandia (Original)mp3

Of late I’ve been getting to know the MakeNoise Morphagene modular synthesis device. The User Manual describes it as being “informed by the worlds of Musique Concrete and Microsound”, “a set of tools for creative synthesis” “ for the creation of new musical form and content, previously unimagined.” 

It enables extreme manipulation of recorded sound using a syncretic paradigm of delimited analogue tape splicing exaggerated by the granular control capabilities of digital software. That is, infinitely variable fragmentation and reassembly of sonic units discretised down to improbable fractions of seconds duration, organised and disorganised in complex systems activated by tiny variations in voltage control signals. Unscripted, possibly unscriptable combinations and sequences of sonic fragments drifting into basins of attraction, pattern teasing and spilling into unpredictably chaotic cascades. 

As source material for this most aleatoric composition, I prepared a small set of recordings using five empty aluminium beer cans. I teased a variety of sounds from them on the kitchen bench, beginning with the objects intact and gradually reducing them by stages to tiny pieces, coaxing sounds from each stage of their disintegration by tapping, dropping, rolling, shaking, etc.

Once ingested into the Morphagenes random access memory, combinations of cables carrying tiny voltage variations were experimented with to derive the dereeve you’re about to hear. 

The resulting composition paradoxically synthesises interruption as flow, using fragment as method to simultaneously generate and disrupt an unusual listening experience - its a kind of aural synechdoche or fractal in which any part effectively represents the whole.

Back in the 20th century, French essayist and semiotician Roland Barthes explored and expounded the fragment as technique, content and political strategy.

For Barthes, fragments held the potential to manifest escape from the tyranny of mundane meaning imposed by so-called ‘common sense’ and received wisdom. He characterised his writing, and intellectual works as ‘a circle of fragments’.

A quote from 1977 exemplifies : “To write by fragments: the fragments are then so many stones on the perimeter of a circle: I spread myself around: my whole little universe in crumbs; at the center, what?”

kingdom music | Fragments  Nomyn No Copyright Music

An improvised sound experience performed by Althing using samples, doublebass and a pedalboard. 

Recorded at Kunstforum Unterland, Neumarkt-Egna in October 2021 during the opening of the exhibition “Fragmente – Fliegen, Dosen, Krieg und imaginäre Gipfel | Frammenti – Mosche, lattine, Guerra e vette imaginarie” by Giancarlo Lamonaca

The performance and the sounds used were inspired by the individual works of art. Also the approach to work in layers was part of the creation process.

Watch the video on my youtube channel! Subscribers are welcome! ;-)

Fragments

We are inspired by isolated territories. We mix sounds of nature with analog synthesis machines.
We seek to digitally disseminate the essence of wildlife on your device or computer.
We have ideas based on ambient music and contemporary experimental classical music. The result of our work is very uncertain; 
from Music Therapy to Film Soundtracks, Drone, Ambient, Downtempo, Techno, or any other manifestation of what is presented. It is always unique and different.

We are the kingdom of media, and the kingdom of music is branching out of it

music is a huge part of life, and im living!
