This is the sixth track from Nielu. These chords were the first I recorded on my friend's demented grandmother's detuned piano. The violin was improvised on top of those chords by my good friend Valo Lankinen, and then later on cut, warped and arranged by me.

Stream and buy the whole album from https://palenoir.bandcamp.com/album/nielu. There are still some limited edition digipack cds left.

Nielu: Nukka - Lint

An experiment in the use of long verb, inspired by this film of men singing in Wuppertal Train Station.

Long Verb Experiment

one thing i wish the html5drummachine had would be mute buttons, but then again it's about the limitations in this case

(another limitation i discovered by pressing Backspace before i saved)

additional limitation was not using perc1, perc2 and crash sounds from the techno pack as i couldn't fit them in any way

some programming on the fly and also since it can switch between 2 patterns i took advantage of that

no layering, no additional processing, direct output from the browser

antipattern [disquiet0169-html505]

Single live track = Sound of 12 FireFoxes battling for CPU cycles. Minimising the windows doesn't stop them, but has drastic effects on the tempo. Maximising them all makes them glitch along eccentrically, in a manner I found satisfying.

OK - so it's mobile and cross-platform (if it works with your browser at all...) but, sheesh, 8-bit micro's sure did it better!

Wasted couple of hours trying to reverse engineer a local cached version of the app; to apply own sound sets, or modulate the controls algorithmically. Concluded there was no point.

HTR909 - disquiet0169-html505

I don't usually work with beats or drum machines - so I found this week's assignment a bit challenging. I played with the app for a while, to figure out what to do... recorded a few live performances and tried tweaking it to it's limits fast/slow/high&low pitches... But I really wanted to make a poly rhythmical piece, so I ended up oppening Firefox and Chrome each with the HTML505 drum machine, playing the same beat at the same tempo - 120...that happened not to be exactly the same tempo, so the rhythm goes from in sync slowly shifting to out of sync and then back into sync after a while.... quite lovely I think. 
The title is a homage to Steve Reich who composed a few pieces with a similar ideas...

“disquiet0169-html505” I'm Clapping in the Rain

I've been messing with some some self similar melody ideas, thanks to Tom Johnson's book of the same name. These patters are built on brief self similar melodies.

Disquiet Junto Project 0169: HTML505

Scrambled Egg Beater [disquiet0169-html505]

I created the most terrible, ugly, unmusical and least rhythmic drum track you’ve ever heard on my first attempt at using the machine. (You know, ‘what does this button do?’) It sounds like two drum kits fighting while falling down stairs. So I decided to use it. You can hear it in the background of this, heavily reverbed and delayed.

I processed the track using ambient V.3 into one of my semi-industrial soundscapes, cut it in half and overlaid the two resulting tracks.

I snipped a tiny (random) beat out of the original track and cloned it into the hopping rhythm that develops behind this (double tracked and down-pitched an octave from about half way in).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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...
