After releasing a first glimpse in the form of the ‘Atomos VII’ EP earlier this year, A Winged Victory For The Sullen finally reveal their second full-length album entitled ‘Atomos’, which besides familiar piano, string and drone sounds also sees the duo introduce flurries of electronics, harp and modular synthesisers.

Wayne McGregor, founder of Random Dance Company and resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet, chose to play the album repeatedly during practices with his core group of dancers. After noticing the group's reaction with the music, he contacted Adam and Dustin to see if they could write the score for his new oeuvre. The duo were given complete artistic freedom and they treated the score with the same care and attention as their debut album. They recorded more than sixty minutes of music over a four-month period during the summer of 2013 across studios in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik, with the help of their long time collaborative sound engineer Francesco Donadello. During the recording process they realised, that this would become their official second studio album. McGregor provided them with the inspiration to expand their sound palette into more electronic territory, whilst keeping their signature chamber sound, resulting in a very unique record.

“As a wise man once said, one who procrastinates their own choosing will inevitably have their choice served to them by circumstance. We had virtually no time for second guessing ourselves. That being said, we tried to balance the discordance between being creative, and fulfilling our duties for a commissioned soundtrack with a very strict deadline, and all the while staying true to our collective melancholy.‘’ – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie

“We never imagined 2013 would be such an explosively creative year. The first record took us two years from start to finish, but in the micro span of time over last summer we were able to change the formula for the way we write, record, and let go. It was incredibly liberating.” – Dustin O’Halloran

Dark Pitch [Disquiet0407]

So I woke up this morning and read the email about this weeks Disquiet Junto assignment - once again it hit bulls eye - both in terms of how I usually work with field recordings, and because I have been fiddling with a similar idea this past week…
Since the lockdown in March I have found myself recording a lot - more that I’m usually able to, and the two recordings I chose for this piece, were both done within the last couple of months.  I Googled “ Musical Mashup” and read this on Wiki “… is a creative work, usually in a form of a song, created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by superimposing the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another”
So I decided to treat one recording as the instrumental, and the other as the vocals. The deep drone (instrumental) is a recording of the vent shaft (in the track picture) that sits outside the music conservatory where I teach - I used a LOM Audio Geofon to capture the resonance.
The other recording (vocal) is a recording I made on the small island Fur in the northern part of Denmark - it features a sprinkler system at a tennis court - again I used equipment from LOM Audio - the sprinklers were recorded with a pair of USI pro mics in ab 40 into a Sound Devices MixPre3 II
I really like the oscillation that occurs in both tracks and the interplay between them.
