I hit the antler with broken piano hammers, twigs and wooden dowling sticks. The antler was attached to a block of wood along with a thin metal bowl. I recorded by attaching contact mics to the bowl. No effects.

This is an experiment with a Buchla 100 system that I recently built. Everything you hear is generated by the Buchla and fed through a spring reverb and then mixed live on a Tascam recorder to emulate the experience of recording directly to tape.

Disquiet Junto Project 0711: Show & Tell &
The Assignment: Share some recent music; get and give feedback

I have been working on a project: making a sort of mashup of sketches I’ve made over the last few years when away from home. I’ve made these on holidays, or when visiting friends: at times when I don’t have my usual music setup, but can do some noodling and experimenting, using music apps on a tablet and sometimes using a small semi-modular synth.
Since some of these sketches/fragments have nice sounds, or patterns, or themes, I thought I might select a bunch of them that I like, see if some match with respect to rhythm, tempo, tonality, vibe, and then see if I could maybe combine them into a longer piece (adding some extra parts or transitions as needed.

So this is a slightly edited version of a work in progress. Given the amount of material I have, the end result might be something like 3 different pieces that each are between 12 and 20 minutes long. We'll see...

I’m curious how you experience this. 
It will inevitably be, as a result of the process, a somewhat fragmented piece, consisting of bits that were not intended to fit together. Does it feel totally disjointed, like loose sand, random bits that do not gel? Or is it something of a musical journey (as I hope it might be). Would you like to stay a bit longer in the different segments? Or did you feel impatient to move on? Is it nice if some sounds or patterns or themes recur later on?

barcode disquiet0712

This track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project: The barcode of the softcover Penguin edition of Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" was used as the timeline for the rhythm, and the track was created with this beat as inspiration.
The other elements followed, found through intuition or happy accidents.
The result is a far groovier track than I initially assumed.

Thinking Fast and Slow (Disquiet0712)

Response to Disquiet Assignment: What rhythm do you hear in a barcode? The first :30 of the piece consists of the barcode: vocal sounds to represent each size of the lines, and one sounds for the biggest space - followed by improvisational vocal sounds repeats of the barcode.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0712: Overclocked. The Assignment: What rhythm do you hear in a bar code?

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0712 discussion thread on Lines:

I recently added Daphne Oram’s book An Individual Note: of Music, Sound, and Electronics, to my reading stack. So decided to use the barcode on the back cover for this project. The original intent was to create something that aligned with her more experimental work, but as often happens with these projects, it morphed into something different. This time, into an IDM like rhythm based track.

This was put together in Ableton Live 12 using mostly Dillon Bastan’s Rhythmorphic max for live MIDI effect. It’s a “non”-euclidian sequencer that uses the brightness values of an image or video to generate note patterns with modulations. A little bit like the way Daphne’s Oramics machine works with light and dark. I used the image of the barcode from the book on three different tracks using Slate + Ash and Madrona Labs instrument plugins. Also created additional tracks via a MIDI keyboard, as well as a couple of short, sliced and manipulated samples of her music and sound experiments. Hopefully she won’t mind too much with me using them.
