Hello, I'm Noah. This is my SoundCloud page for my DIY ambient/post-rock/electronic/folk/indie hybrid monster Confusion Ends. 

I just completed my last ever album for this project and it's called Finishers. It's all up here for free to download. Please enjoy, comment and/or share with anyone who you think would like/love it.

Thanks for all your support.

Thembi Soddell (b.1980) is an Australian sound artist, electroacoustic composer and practice-led researcher with an interest in psychology, perception, extreme emotion and the subjectivity of experience. She works primarily with the sampler, generating sounds from field recordings, instrument textures, played found objects and synthesis to form surreal and ambiguous realisations of place and experience. These volatile, filmic sound worlds exploit the dynamic extremes, toying with the listeners' sense of expectation and disquiet.
 
She creates work for recording, installation, live performance, and concert presentation. Her CV includes the release of four major composition works for CD; guest curation for the National Gallery of Victoria’s Melbourne Now: Now Hear This sound program (Melbourne, 2013-14); works exhibited at the Wellington Art Gallery (Wellington, 2013), Parisonic Festival (Paris 2011), the National Gallery of Australia (Online 2004) and the SFMOMA (San Francisco 2002); solo performances at Australian experimental music festivals such as the Totally Huge New Music Festival (Perth 2009), What Is Music? (Melbourne 2004) the Liquid Architecture Festival of Sound Art (Auckland 2006, Sydney 2005, Melbourne 2001); and two European tours in duo with Anthea Caddy including performances at the Hörkunstfestival (Erlangen 2006), Biegungen Festival (Berlin 2009) and Instants Chavirés (Paris 2006).
 
Thembi has a BA in Media Arts (2002) and is a graduate with honours in sound art (2005) from RMIT University’s School of Art, where she is now a PhD candidate. Her research focuses on the articulation of firsthand experiences of mental illness and psychological distress using sound art practice. She also assists in running the Australian experimental music label, cajid media. Thembi has an ongoing duo with cellist, Anthea Caddy and has worked as sound designer and dramaturg for choreographer, Tim Darbyshire.

Jürgen Heckel, also known as Sogar, was born in Nuremberg in 1970 and has been living in Paris for 14 years and is now located in Munich. He started playing music when he was 19 and became part of several groups as a guitarist. He then got interested in creating and processing sound in unconventional ways. Thus Jürgen manipulates accidental sounds to create light and fragile melodic textures. The sources of these arrangements are guitars as well as sounds from mixing consoles, amplifiers, cables or other aural finds. These sounds are then reworked on a computer to become a music made of cracklings, and rich melodic oscillations exploring the extremes of the sound spectrum by associating acoustic technique and software.

Sogar’s music is formed of richly layered textures, a delicate transmutation of static and formerly “nonmusical” sounds, a music where the melodic elements are created out of particular sounds of uncertain origin. All elements in this music slide and cover one against each other, running into itself yet still keeps a very controlled balance, while creating myriads of peaceful new lifeforms in the process.
This music call attention by the constant wish to escape from any attempt of qualification or any act of nomination. Extremely dense and abstract as much as it becomes impossible to apply a classical epithet like “melancholic”, “sad”, “happy”, “beautiful”, etc, the music of Sogar is no less than a source of a new musical grammar. Without any conceptual thoughts his music is slightly but constantly transforming to become a sensitive translation of a state of mind nurtured by his subconscious.

I play piano. Everything here is improvisation - it's my best language for telling you how I'm feeling - unless it's preparing someone else's work for a concert, in which case I've acknowledged it.

I am a dabbler in word, sight and sound.
I have drawn inspiration for these sonic works from many and varied soundtracks for computer gaming, films, and sound artists.

Thank you very much for stopping by my page, listening and subscribing!
