VA LOCALZ MIX

we.amps returns with Chapter 7 of the Weird Amplifiers series, and this one’s got a tail.
“Nello” is a raw, rolling house jam inspired by our four-legged muse: an Australian Shepherd with an instinct for groove and a heart built for movement. Packed with bouncing samples, sunlit energy, and a dancefloor-driving pulse, this track captures the pure joy of letting go and getting sweaty.
A summer banger made to bark, bounce, and bring the heat.

FIREFLY/STARLING Project Proposal: One of the species of music I do is algorithmic composition.

The intention is to side-step traditional metric notation altogether, and generate electronic sounds directly from their mathematical description.

TWO projects I’m working on involve the movement of sounds in objective or real space. Inspired by the Varèse, Xenakis, and Le Corbusier 1958 World's Fair Philips Pavilion—we did a reconstruction of this with the ASKO SCHOENBERG Ensemble years ago—I am hoping to implement a grid of a 40-voice sound source distributed over 400 light/speakers.

The simplest and most flexible way to do this would be an APP that audience members could download in situ that flashes colored lights on and off, while at the same time playing pitched percussive sound. This means that there are three versions of a piece: light only, lights + sound, and sound only. All versions could be performed in- or out-of-doors.

The first two pieces I’d like to realize both use simple swarm algorithms abstracted from Nature: (1) FIREFLY (2) STARLING.

FIREFLY: The primary parameter is how the 40 relatively autonomous voices—simple percussive, say, woodblock sounds—move in and out of synchronicity using complex, non-periodic rhythms. Secondary parameters are random spatial and random pitch distribution (a simple 4 octave C2 to C6 1/4-tone field). Other variables are total duration and max/min temporal density limits. 

STARLING: Here, there are two equal primary parameters, with an one octave ‘swarm’ of 1/4-tone pitches at high to low density over a six octave field—always maintaining coherence with the same simple percussive woodblock sound with clear spatial transients—that ‘flies’ around in pitch space. 

WORK PLAN: Start simple with laptop models: scale down to 4 voices in monophonic rendering; then, stepwise, scale up to 40 voices. Once optimal temporal and pitch densities are worked out, scale to spatial distribution adding a dynamic / amplitude 7-step scale ppp=far away // fff=very near, as well as stereo headphones output; from there, scale up to the next level with simple single-purpose smartphone wi-fi/cellular APP.

That’s it. Each piece would last about 10 minutes. They wouldn’t be written down, but generated anew each time.

If you’d like take part the FIREFLY/STARLING Project (pro bono) in any way—whether as coder, mathematician, AI specialist, or APP designer— or offer support in any way, you can email me at cliff@picture-poems.com

FULL REVIEW

CF Premiere: G.oss - Selection [TC Records]

Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel.
Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. 
I am a serious consumer. 
On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.

Composer. Writer. Photographer. Former conductor & founder of the ASKO ensemble.

On a bike/ski/hike trek of the Pacific Northwest studying native plants & climate breakdown 🌲 from sagebrush sea to whitebark pine. Composing off-grid the whole way.

Andrea Cavani and Fabio Dall’oglio are we.amps (weird amplifiers).
Both residents Dj of @this-is-not since 2012, they have started to collaborate in September 2016. Spanning from House to Techno, with clear Acid and Old school sonority and a fresh attitude to the Disco sound, they can easily be marked as humble and devoted music lovers.

We are a community of astronauts in search of the best electronic music in the galaxy.

In that search, we become a platform for premieres, reviews, mix series, free downloads, and interviews, as well as weekly and monthly lists of the best out there. 

So let's look up to the universe in search of the best galaxies and constellations. 

"The Sound is Out There."
