Nice haunted sounds :-o  Now I have to check if Crazy Ivan still works with Logix X!

i'm like that.. you touch a slider and it's like what on earth happened!

The image you chose for this is so intriguing .... and I find the woozy quality of your composition fits how I imagine I'd feel while trying to aim on a range. Really unique trip.

Guess I shouldn't have deleted this one from my account… here it is again… I dedicate it to all people who, like me, love Ligeti, Stockhausen, Schönberg, Webern, Boulez, Bartók, Berg and so on, love equally Miles and Trane and Sanders and Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and Joel Ross and love equally Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Prince, Co Shu Nie, Bjork, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Sting …and love Bach and Mozart and Josquin and Chopin… and besides love the music of the Gbaya, and Gamelan, and Japanese traditional music… why should we feel confined to ANY genre?

I’ve been using a plugin called Crazy Ivan quite a bit lately, so I thought I’d feature it. I have no idea how it works, but depending on selected/accidental/guesswork settings it has a profound effect on pitch, making it rise and fall, and adds strange phasing effects, especially when you misuse it like I do.

I created a track out of samples from a couple of things I’m working on, then Crazy Ivan’d the whole thing – twice, with different settings. The only downside is that it flattens out the stereo separation, so I re-widened it, which alters the effect very slightly.



----------------------------------------------

The Assignment: Compose a piece of music in which the material processed is secondary to the processing.

Project Steps:

Step 1: Consider the following. New music can often involve flipping a perceived hierarchy: between rhythm and melody, between harmonic and melodic development, and between background and foreground, for example. This project involves flipping another perceived hierarchy: between the effect employed and the source audio on which it is employed (for example, between a flanger and a rhythm guitar line, or a gate and a drum kit, or between a filter and a complex waveform).

Step 2: Create an original piece of music in which the effect is the prominent thing heard throughout, while the source audio changes frequently between varied materials. The compositional goal is that the piece still hangs together as a considered whole unto itself.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
