The Sound of Jack [Naviar Haiku # 548]

Only modules in play: Soundfreak EMS (Buchla format) Triple Oscillator and Dual Ring Modulator.

What you are hearing here is a version with reverb. The Youtube video version is the dry signal. Modules used the Soundfreak EMS Dual Filter/Oscillator and the Dual Ring Modulator.

Not For The Impatient

The opening salvo of my 2025 Jamuary challenge!

2025-01-01 Jamuary

The ingredients:
A length-21 sequence of JI-chords every 13 seconds;
A length-13 sequence of JI-chords every 8 seconds;
A length-8 sequence of JI-chords every 5 seconds.
All these are run through a digital ring modulator.  
This results in constantly changing timbre, and a slowly morphing rhythm
(because 13/21, 8/13 and 5/8 all quite close).

At the start, all the chords share a common root/fundamental, 60 cps.  

The roots gradually drift apart to 60-60.75-61.5 and this causes the overall timbral profile to grow gradually more gnarly.

Needless to say, this track is purely synthetic and so not derived from any sampled sound.

art thou but a didgeridoo of the mind, a false creation?

Chiral explores the concept of chirality: a property whereby an object cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, as is the case with certain crystals or with human hands, essential protagonists in piano performance. In this sense, Chiral invites us to perceive music as an interaction between sonic reflections that never fully align, generating a dynamic and continuous tension between the two pianos.

The piece is structured in twelve brief movements, each delving into ring modulation as a technique for manipulating pitch material. Inspired by Mantra by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Chiral uses ring modulation not merely as a technical resource but as a fundamental element that shapes the texture and sonic color of each movement. This technique enables sounds to fuse and transform, producing a spectrum of harmonics and complex timbres that resonate and contrast with each other, generating interference patterns that evoke the idea of a "misaligned reflection."

The structure of the piece allows for an exploration of the boundaries between symmetry and asymmetry, taking the listener on a sonic journey in which each movement reflects and distorts the previous one. The pianists, engaged in a perpetual dialogue, create a space where chirality becomes tangible, blurring the line between original material and its transformation.

D.A.Wilson is an Electronic Engineer, Sound Designer & Vintage Synth Specialist with a particular interest in combining vintage tube, classic analog and modern digital technologies working as a synth engineer looking after a very considerable amount of vintage studio equipment for Will Gregory (Goldfrapp / Moog Ensemble) and a number of other internationally celebrated electronic musicians and producers.  Having undertaken several major restorations and produced custom electronic designs for a number of major artists including Jean-Michel Jarre, Dani is also known for fully restoring two out of the world's four remaining 1979 Crumar GDS and partially restoring 1938 Novachord 346 (the only known operational Novachord in the UK) to playable order along with developing and producing the new Elfin family of 8-bit polysynths and the popular MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and XD-280 Drive Emulator upgrades for the AKAI S612 sampler.

Born 1960 in Vienna. Austrian composer, improviser and performer. He studied composition with Friedrich Cerha and musicology in Vienna. Besides writing experimental instrumental music, he performs on his own electronic instrument m@ze°2, develops software environments for computer-aided composition and creates generative sound and video environments. Since 2007 professor of composition for electro-acoustic and experimental music at the University of Music in Vienna.

Karlheinz Essl performs on a laptop computer that he has transformed into a live electronic musical instrument. The result is exciting and musical. You just won't hear these sounds anywhere else. He performs solo and in duets and trios, responding with sensitivity to fellow musicians, producing fascinating sound transformations, creating spontaneous surprises, and moving quickly from loops to cacophony to tiny clips of vocal sounds to all kinds of textures and ideas. He does all this with his m@ze°2(Modular Algorithmic Zound Environment) performance software. (Joel Chadabe, CDeMusic, Januar 2002)


"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
