Never Events - Objects Left Inside the Patient

I thought I'd go live and make some music for an upcoming EP, which will be available to stream once I finish the other tracks. Whilst clearing out the cupboards, I discovered some unused toy sounds and other things that make noise, which my friend bought from the charity shops, which led me to the idea of making some found sounds music. Anyway, enjoy the video. Oh yeah, you can download the samples I used in this video for free and can be found on my main website, gasnolight.co.uk. If you're interested, here's the link;

free improvisation with snare drum + objects

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik

It focuses specifically on one main theme of the novel, which is the characters noticing a pattern of objects at first being spoiled or worn out, then reverting to earlier obsolete forms, eventually affecting not just individual objects or even rooms but entire settings in which they find themselves. The examples focused upon include cigarettes, coffee and cream, coins and bills, a tape-recorder, appliances, an elevator, vehicles, and even Ubik itself. This mystery gets a resolution late in the novel when we discover that they are a result of Jory's inability to maintain a consistent phatasmagoric reality for his soon-to-be victims in half-life.

Philip Dick, Ubik - Reversion, Obsolescence, and Spoiling - Sadler's Lectures

"A Prototype of Chaos & Love" is a long-form piece that I played on a number of my original and customized instruments (the Experibass, Expericello, deconstructed piano, custom trombone, flutes, metals and cymbals, prepared guitar and violins, bells and objects). The sound of some instruments was processed post recording, but their unique nature was kept intact.

It’s improvised and chaotic, but also delicate and warm, a sense of tonality emerges in different sections, but it doesn’t last too long.

When I recorded it, I left myself feel the intensity of each sound and the effect of different instruments under my fingers. There were no visual cues in my mind, just sounds taking my full attention.

This piece creates an intense and visceral experience; it’s likely going to push your tolerance for unfamiliar sounds and uneven musical structures.

The art cover is made with a chaotic “painting” that I assembled by using pieces of instruments and materials.

Hi, my name is Gas No Light and Game For Experimentation. I've been making music for over 26 years now and have been and still make all sorts from synthy stuff like Vaporwave/Synthwave and Hauntology and general synthy vibes. I also make club stuff Jungle/Drum and Bass, House and Reggaetón, UK Garage and UK Funky which I enjoy making the most. Also, I like to make gaming music and Experimental music hence my other name but I do like making lots of different genres too.

Finnish composer, producer, writer and visual artist, focused mainly to algorithmic processes, computer-assisted composition, and various other methods based on cybernetics, chaotic dynamics and stochastic systems, among others. Most programs written by author, various languages. 

Studied musicology at University of Helsinki, computing at OU, Milton Keynes, private studies in composition. Musical genres, from avant-garde/postminimal chamber music to minimal techno, wonky/noskool, IDM, electronica, ambient, experimental. 

Diego Stocco is an inventor of unusual musical instruments, music sound designer and composer.
One of his most recognizable instruments is the Experibass, a mutated double bass for which he invented a playing technique called “Sticcato”, creating an intense combination of tonal and percussive timbres. With this instrument, he was invited to be a featured soloist on the soundtrack of "Sherlock Holmes" scored by Oscar®-winning composer Hans Zimmer, the video games "Assassin's Creed" and "Darktide" with BAFTA-winning composer Jesper Kyd and as a composer and performer of his piece “Thunderous” for the film "Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire”. As a composer, he produced the music for the video game "The Conduit” and the film "Chernobyl Diaries”, where he experimented with more strange instruments and sonic approaches. 
The music and sound design elements from his Sonic Artifact label, specialized in horror, thriller, western and sci-fi genres, is distributed worldwide by BMG Production Music and have been placed on dozens of film trailers, films and TV shows.

As one of the Principal Sound Designers, Diego created numerous iconic sounds for the core libraries of Spectrasonics Stylus RMX, Trilian, Bob Moog Tribute Library and the flagship synth Omnisphere. His approach to listening and psychoacoustic microphone techniques allowed him to discover musically playable sounds in a variety of common objects, such as light bulbs, a clothes drying rack, a leather hat, and a number of odd instruments created by combining pieces of furniture and parts of appliances with traditional instruments. One of his most extreme sampling session was the Burning Piano, a piano sampled while it was on fire. He later created his own Sonic Extension for Omnisphere called Twisted Trees, where he built original sculptural instruments inspired by forest trees and the random motion of elements of nature.

Diego explored the sound of nature and trees with a series of musical videos, starting from Music from Sand, Music from a Tree, and Music from Nature. In these works, a lighter, playful and more abstract approach to sound appears, where he let the unconventional sounds inspire the composition. He also built instruments that can be seen as imaginative little places, like the Magical Butterfly Valley and the Miniature Forest Piano, where the listener is invited to listen to the instruments as if they were played by butterflies and birds.

Diego also created a unique approach to Convolution processing with his “Rhythmic Convolutions” sets, where he takes sounds produced by a variety of objects, materials and interactions to create original Impulse Responses that transfer both their rhythmic and spectral profile to drums, synths and any instrument with fast attacks. Occasionally Diego teaches workshops and masterclass where he shares his imaginative approach with other musicians and sound designers.
