Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary.

I recorded 3 switches (Light/Coffee Machine/HiFi) then I sampled them and I applied some reverbs, delays, resonators, while playing with the samples. It was quite fun ...

LINEAR BELLS - Disquiet0101-Analogbinary - HiFi Furry

The three sounds are ones I had recorded a few years ago at a bakery I was making bread at. One is a Vitamix blender, the other is a 30qt mixer, and the last one I can't remember. 
I only added a little effect to the vitamix: Bode Frequency Shift. 
The others I left raw. In the spirit of this assignment, I used fade in fade out, through out the piece.

Life/Death Machine (disquiet0101-analogbinary)

I left work early as I have a ton of personal time to take before the end of the year and then I recorded my light switches with a Zoom H2 recorder. After importing the recordings I built a small dub send/return network to apply lightly. The deep droning sounds are created through micro loops one of the more interesting switches in my new apartment is the one that controls the garbage disposal after introducing the garbage disposal loop I began micro looping it to create a granular sounding pad and then towards the end layered several of them all in different spans of time off the original loop.

Hope you enjoy.

Make iPhone wear my worn-out socks and recorded the sound of three switches at home. 
1. Water Heater (WH)
2. Hand Vacuum (HV)
3. Water Kettle (WK)

Everything else is done in Logic Pro. The first sound that I use is that of WH. It is looping for the most part of the track and I applied phaser, delay, tremolo to it. The next sound that I layered over is WK and I applied delay and spring reverb to it. HV sound only appeared around 1:27 min mark. There's subtle delay and phaser applied to it. 

I only stumbled upon the Disquiet Juno site last week, so this is the first time submitting my piece to the group. All in all, I really enjoy the whole process of recording and making this as well as listening to everyone's work in the group. Thanks for taking time out to listen to my piece :)

Switch On Off [ disquiet0101-analogbinary ]

Recorded three sounds as directed: A microwave, a kitchen sink (not strictly a "switch" but it does go on and off), and a small battery-powered hand drill.

In Ableton Live, loaded the sounds and made a few permutations of each, both in length and pitch.  They are brought into and out of the piece throughout.

Disquiet Junto Project 0101: Analog Binary

Record the audio of three objects in your home or workplace that have on/off switches. Capture the unique sound of them being turned on and off. For each of the switches, record several seconds of this on/off action so you can create loops of a steady pace. Then create an original piece of music that employs phase shifts — that is, in which the tiny distinctions between loops create noticeable patterning as time progresses. You can use some light processing, but the sense of "switch-ness" of the source audio should never be lost.

Deadline: Monday, December 9, 2013, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

Length: Your track’s length should be between two and five minutes.

For Whom The Boole Tolls [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

I don't have a decent mic sitting around my apartment (and even if I did it's too noisy), so I took advantage of my studio access at my school this semester.

Simply recorded the sound of a switch on a headphone amp, a keyboard, and the wifi switch on my laptop. I looped a specific region of each sound, and chose to cut out every third repeat for each track. 

Because emergence or something.

There's also a delayed version of each track that I mix in and out to fill up empty space.

Wasting Studio Access [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

Each switch on a '70s home-made Weather Satellite Digital Picture Processor was individually recorded and programmed into loops of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 beats in a bar, then layered. A manipulated piano completed the piece.

seclusion [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

I decided to only use switches in my office. Since recording the switch for my powerbar presented an insurmountable problem, I ended up recording the switch on my Oxygen8 Keyboard, the light switch in my office, and the switch for an old boombox, which has several intermediate stages.

I went for a lo-fi vibe, removed the incidental sounds before and after the switch recordings, but did not otherwise plan the performance. I added distortion that emphasizes the poor quality of the recording. Echo effects and occasional wild panning add some variety. The track was passed through a bit-reducing plugin for the end, making it more and more digital as the piece concludes.

The original piece was over 4 minutes long. I decided to cut out a section in the middle, dropping 2 of the 3 tracks to enable me to splice the two halves together. The resulting "radio-friendly" edit is less monotonous than the original, but perhaps less hypnotic as well.

Tick-Tack-Brap [disquiet0101-analogbinary]

In this piece I used the on/off switches of an MC-505, Casio Rapman and cassette recorder. Each item's on/off switch was performed, recorded and turned into a short loop. Each loop has a different tempo and rhythm sequence. From each raw loop, further loops were created whereby each item was modulating another at double and 4x the original tempos. Some granular and phase effects were added to create a sense of space and texture.

“Linear Bells” is David Teboul, composer and sound artist.
His music is a mix between sound manipulations, field recordings, mainly created with acoustic and analogic instruments.
 



Katarrhaktes explores the unexplained, the boundaries of truth, the meaning of a linear perceptive existence, and other discourses via conceptual pieces of music which range from destructive, anarchistic dirges to structured, beautiful ambience.

Residency : Moon Lounge, DatDatDat, Under The Bridge

I began making noise music back in 2004, when living in an apartment in Brunswick, Maine. My neighbors complained about my punk band practicing there, so I switched my focus to editing audio with Windows sound recorder. My first few albums, consisted of nothing more than layering, reversing, changing speed, and adding echo to recordings I made with a computer mic.

Since then I have switched to slightly more sophisticated DAW, and have adapted my work to live applications. My focus has centered more on ambient and drone music, incorporating the bass guitar and kitchen utensils (most notably the whisk). But I continue to layer and patch these pieces into sound collages. 

Over the years I have branched out to playing more shows, including an east coast tour, and some Northeast festivals (Xfest and Frantasia). I have worked with a number of labels including Forever Escaping Boredom, Genetic Tapes, and Classwar Karaoke. I am proud to have shared bills with id m theft able, Crank Sturgeon, Tashi Dorji, Jaap Blonk and many more. 
I now live in central Vermont with my partner Stephanie and daughter Amelie.
