The Groove

It's a song about looking out of the window:

Ich schaue aus dem Fenster
hinab auf uns'ren Platz;
da unten ist was los
und ich hab' meinen Spaß.

Ein Auto fährt vorbei,
der Hund vom Nachbarn bellt.
Ich nehm' mir noch ein Bier,
weil mir das so gefällt.

Ich schaue aus dem Fenster

FRÉQUENCE FINE

Some sonic thoughts on the link between the Earth and the Universe.

From radio to RADIA : creating for the RADIA network a composed play of electromagnetic signals. 

With field recordings and electromagnetic reception recordings from around the world, here is a sonic drift about us, the earth and the universe, without much intention for narrative structure. I want to talk about the very little time we have left to make earth a better and peaceful world ; how fragile and wounded nature is, although still offering us pure moments of bliss ; waves link us together with everything. In the end, we are one with the world, time has no meaning, nothing comes first. All in all is all in one."

Live in the studio recording, circa 2007 in Paris, reworked and remixed Friday November 27th 2020.

Again, from the  masters I got back some weeks ago and I am rediscovering and reworking some music for there.

This is part of a one day session with these extraordinary musicians  this is the only session with the three of us together in the studio. We recorded tones of music that day, including [junto0463](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/two-memories-gradient-disquiet0463) and [naviarhaiku358](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/black-horse-naviarhaiku358) with a 4th element , Pajaro Canzani on guitar)

This is the introduction to an instrumental composition we recorded for a producer (documentary) who accepted the mix but later asked for the introduction to be removed.
So this free form 2 minutes remained unused.
I remixed this today for 27/NOV/2020 thanksgiving  junto challenge
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0465-you-thank 
as a thank you note for those excellent musicians.

I spent some time live and i the studio with Bobby since that day, but completely lost track of Nico, 10.000 Km between us...

Going back to these masters is a joy and reminds me how great it is to play together with fellow musicians and how grateful I am that I could do it with such great, talented guys.

“The thing with analog circuits is they follow very simple, natural laws,” says synthesizer designer and builder Jessica Rylan, “just like breaking a tree branch, or like water, or even like birds flying in a V — they push and are pushed into that pattern because it’s the path of least resistance … like you turn on the power, it’s just following whatever the vibration would do. And the sound it produces is the exact same as the electricity producing it.”

There are many such nuggets to be found in Tara Rodgers’ excellent book Pink Noises, which compiles interviews with twenty-four women working in electronic music and sound art. Rodgers’ conversation with Rylan, coupled with pandemic isolation, inspired Suss Müsik to explore the craft of DIY synthesis and digital instrument hacking.

As a result, Suss Müsik’s toolbox is now teeming with circuit boards, jumper cables, soldering equipment, resistors / capacitors / inductors of all sizes, a kaleidoscope of LED lights, touch-sensitive / knob potentiometers, plastic casing of varying sizes, and a lifetime supply of 9-volt batteries. It’s great fun.

A key learning was that acoustic instruments create sound by moving air — a string is plucked, a drum is hit, a mouthpiece receives wind — while electronic instruments make sound by moving voltage. Nature is a rich ecosystem of patterns, and the ability to manipulate patterns of electrical current is the core of synthesized music. 

This short piece is an excerpt from a series of compositions played mostly with custom-built and hacked instruments. In this particular instance, you’ll hear an piezo-amplified kalimba, a homemade sawtooth oscillator, and a photo-sensitive harmonic generator played with a flashlight and touch-ring interface.
