A response to Disquiet Junto 0630: Creative Sufficiency, a challenge to choose, in advance, a limit on the number of pieces of equipment, instruments, software, or plugins that will be used in the piece.

I chose 9 components: Logic, keyboard controller, piano, bass, drum kit, 8th triplet stereo delay, 8th stereo delay, room reverb, and a StepFX plugin. The polyrhythms are the result of automating the send amounts to the auxiliary channels with the competing stereo delays.

I wanted the overall feel to be a film noir carnival chase scene played on a Korg M1.

Recorded and produced at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs, The Shambles, Chicago, IL USA.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

This haiku was translated by Adam L. Kern.

Can we still build something like that?

One Step to Bevan

One Step To Bevan (Disquiet 0631)

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was "0631: In a Silent Waveform". The instructions were to "take one held tone and make it dance slowly".

The title of my piece, "Dream of a Rarebit Fiend," is taken from a 1906 silent film directed by Edwin Porter. The film is seven minutes long, and is notable for its revolutionary special effects. It tells the story of a man who, upon gorging himself on Welsh rarebit (toasted cheese on bread), falls into bed with a fever dream of animated furniture, pesky imps, and a night flight above the rooftops.

I chose 554.37 Hz as my single source tone, and recorded 8 tracks of it: 5 on my St Vincent guitar with ebow, and 3 on a Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 analog synth. These tracks were then woven together and processed with a variety of rhythm-based effects to make them dance together. Additional rhythmic elements were created for the synth tracks by manipulating knobs on the SE-02 control panel.

Underneath it all is a single unsettling kick drum. The rhythm is everywhere and nowhere, something and nothing, like a fever dream.

NOTE: Your odds of discovering a secret recipe for Welsh rarebit hidden in the audio file may be improved by listening with headphones.
