Es ist wunderbar mal eine vernünftige und fundierte Stimme in diesem Land zu hören. Genau das hatte uns viele Jahrzehnte ausgezeichnet. Danke Herr Henning.

K G G - Alien Birth

I always look forward to the beginning of the year when this project comes around.  This year I used this piece as a study for a much larger work - specifically using it as a way to experiment with a complex scripting language I have built on top of the RTcmix (www.rtcmix.org) scripting language, MinC.
My scripts allow me to create algorithmic musical patterns in a large number of dimensions:  volume, pitch, sample selection, tempo, placement in a simulated room-space etc.  Each dimension can be moved about in via an algorithmic plug-in, for example, random choice, sequential access, fixed value, etc.
The Psychedelic Ice Machine uses three sets of ice sound samples I have recorded over the years.  The score loops, creating an ever-changing set of patterns.  The relationship between these is sometimes clear and sometimes obscured.

The Psychedelic Ice Machine

The Psychedelic Ice Machine [disquiet0575]

“You said a moment ago that everybody you look at seems to be a rabbit,” says the doctor to his patient in a cartoon by James Thurber. “Now just what do you mean by that, Mrs. Sprague?” Meanwhile, Mrs. Sprague recoils in horror at the vision of her therapist’s enlarged, leporine head. 

There is a rabbit who lives in the underbrush just behind Suss Müsik headquarters. We’ve named her/him Clover. Clover has grown to be fairly large and tends to regard humans with more curiosity than fear. Still, Clover can still easily escape from predators when compelled. Perhaps Mrs. Sprague could take a leaf from Clover’s book.

The rabbit is viewed in Chinese tradition as a calm, gentle yet crafty animal, whose energy emphasizes balance and intelligence. The phrase jiǎo tù sān kū (狡兔三窟) loosely translates as “a cunning rabbit has three burrows and more than one means of escape." With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this is the approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto.

The piece begins with a gentle piano arpeggio, broken into three fragments that randomly shift cadences like a tone poem. A fake fretless bass moves things along until a DIY synth glitches things up. Brief stabs of percussion interrupt the calm, gentle atmosphere, yet the overall feeling is one of balance and crafty intelligence (or whatever the Suss Müsik equivalent would be).

The piece is titled Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū. The image is based on an etching owned by The Welcome Collection, the use of which is covered under Public Domain Mark (PDM) terms and conditions: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū [Disquiet0578]

perf. by London sinfonietta, cond. Jack Sheen. 2nd of December 2022, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank center, London (UK)

"To dream is to forget.." - Fernando Pessoa. The Book of Disquiet

"I’ve been living with the minor second all my life and I finally found a way to handle it…" Morton Feldman, 1982

Co-commissioned by and written for Ensemble Modern, London Sinfonietta and Remix Ensemble

Cyclically floating between different phases of density and intensity, minor and major, slowing or accelerating waves, the piece is woven from hypnotically repetitive patterns of 7 slightly different tempos which intertwine through 16 lines of the ensemble conceived as a complex human body with regular breathing, heart beating, eye movements, blood flow etc., all happening at the same time but not synchronised.

The title “Sleeping Patterns” refers to the brain wave oscillations through different sleep stages as well as to the Morton Feldman’s question “Why Patterns?”

Duration: 20’

Instrumentation: fl, ob, cl, bsn, tpt, hn, tbn, acc, kbd, 2 vibr, 2 vln, vla, vc, cb

Dreaming In Sine Waves

This creation is for the Disquiet Junto Project 0598: Mixmaster Mic.
The Assignment: Record the same sound with multiple mics; mix the results.
The sounds: improvised on the F integral handpan for 15 minutes based on a rhythm that came into my head while riding the stationary bike and watching Picard. Then improvised on the Cajon for 5 minutes based on the recent memory of the previous handpan session. 
Mic setup for handpan: condensor mic, cardiod dynamic mic, zoom handheld stereo recorder, gopro camera, organelle device set to a chorus effect at 50% wet, magnetic contact pickup attached to the handpan. For Cajon: The two microphones and the organelle. 
Process: stacked all the tracks and muted sporadically. Then muted more and more. Cut a few sections of the session for length. 
Thoughts: This was a great way to add some variation to a recording. I enjoyed the process and much of the results. I hope to use the process, or one like it, again. 
Fun things I heard: the sound of the floor creaking, the dog barking, my feet stomping. Happy accidents when the cajon and pan kind of lined up well even though they weren't played together.

++ Der Staat als Feind der Freiheit ++ 

++ Im zweiten Teil unseres Gespräches mit Fritz Goergen von TE gehen wir der Frage nach, warum der Staat nicht die Interessen der Bürger vertritt.
Warum ist überhaupt so ein schräges Ministerium wie das Entwicklungshilfeministerium entstanden?
Was hat die Politik davon, wenn sie wie jüngst auf der sogenannten »Weltklimakonferenz« geschehen Milliarden an Steuergeldern ohne Sinn und Verstand hinauspumpt, während im eigenen Land Schuldenberge aufgetürmt werden müssen.
Fazit von Fritz Goergen: »Die einmalige Chance Deutschlands ist leider verspielt worden, nämlich die Chance, ein sehr erfolgreiches, wirtschaftlich modernes Land mit einem hohen Wohlstandslevel zu werden. Je weniger Politik, desto besser. »Der Staat ist nicht unser Vater, auch nicht unsere Mutter. Der Staat ist aus sich heraus ganz automatisch ein Feind der Freiheit.«
Man muss die Wirtschaft selbst entscheiden und laufen lassen. Nur mißfällt das denjenigen, die ihr Geld in einem Staat verdienen und wo sie irgendwas entscheiden müssen oder wo sie zusehen müssen, dass sie diese Position weiter behalten, ihre Macht absichern. Das funktioniert nur mit der Einschränkung der Macht anderer.
Goergen: »Ja, wir müssen andauernd irgendwo irgendwas regeln, eingreifen und mit jedem Eingriff schaffen. Also mit jedem Problem unter Anführungszeichen, dass sie angeblich Lösungen schaffen, sind fünf neue da und das ist die Entwicklung.« ++

Cochon - Hypocrisy Makes The Bourgeoisie - 10 Death Of The Bourgeoisie

Heute: 

Zu viel Wind - sehr schlecht für die Energiewende

++ Die vergangenen Woche verlief bemerkenswert – wir haben in unserem täglichen Energiewende Wetter mehrfach darauf hingewiesen: Sehr kräftiger Wind, die Windräder drehten ordentlich und schoben viel Strom ins Netz. Am 6. Februar sogar 73 % des Bedarfes, am 4. Februar sogar 77 %. 
Die staatsorientierten Medien verkaufen dies als Sieg auf dem Weg zum Gelingen der Energiewende. Diejenigen allerdings, die etwas von der Materie verstehen, tun sich schwer, solchem Unsinn zu folgen. Ein Gespräch mit Frank Hennig, Kraftwerksingenieur und Tichys Einblick Autor, warum noch viel viel mehr Windräder und PV-Anlagen die Energiewende nicht voranbringen können - eher im Gegenteil ++
