Welcome to Composition Sketchbook!

An exploration into realtime composition, process, decision making, music playing and the compositional journey.

I’m Joseph Buckler, a composer predominately making work for soundtracks and soundscapes.

One thing that I’ve wanted to do for a while, is to take the concept of an artist’s sketchbook and use it to make a compositional sketchbook. A place where experimentation with composition can happen. A place where compositional process can be allowed to run free, and a place to create new music and sounds, in realtime with a focus on the process and the decisions that lead to a sketch of a composition. 

The concept of this podcast is to make new compositional sketches, in under an hour, that can be experienced as the process happens and unfolds. 

In this first episode, my composition sketchbook entry is based around the sound exploration of a river, recorded in Stogumber, Somerset. I experiment with composing elements that can interact with the river.

For the full experience, please use headphones to listen.

If you’re interested in being a part of the sketchbook or collaborating on a composition that could feature, please email me on compositionsketchbook@josephbuckler.com

I hope you enjoy the podcast!

LA VOKO, AŬSKULTI 's first album is out now: https://tutmonda.bandcamp.com/album/la-voko
João Svayam - classic guitars, bass, adufe (portuguese square frame drum), vocals, mix and master.
Artwork by Nuno Mangas Viegas

AŬSKULTI is a collaborative project curated by Johano Nadabindu (aka João Svayam ) from the TUTMONDA sound label. Its main focus is to unite musicians from all over, showcasing their talent, language, and creativity on tracks that are primarily improvised.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING is the first track created with this idea of real time composition and the fusion of traditional sounds with an experimental approach.
PROCESS: João record a first classic guitar track on the spot, first take, totally improvised. Then added new guitar layers, with improvised solos. Next a bass. Then some effects on those tracks, and some experimenting with words "There's no such thing as too much thoughts". The two sections of the song were born with the first guitar track, so there was no later rearranging. After some months, when another 7 tracks where recorded, João sent the album to Nuno Mangas Viegas (TUTMONDA's art work and conceptualization artist), and while reflecting with him about this album a lot unsatisfactory impressions came by regarding the concept, the result and the sound. So João gave it a rest, recorded some new stuff and THERE'S NO SUCH THING got some drums and new mix. Here's the final result. The first track of LA VOKO!

PAŜO POST PAŜO, SAVITA was born out of a beat, an improvised groovy bass loop, and some vst piano and rhodes also improvised. After that João sent the track to Jörg, who added the saxophone tracks! And voila!
