Messenger Retrograde

Going Off Grid

three 90s jungle beats, all slowed to 128bpm, switch out across two channels

morse code plays the phrase "fog dissolves to rain" on ableton's "EFX Small Cymbal" rack

four granular soundbeds

a melody i played through three sampled instruments (upright bass, piano, guitarophone)

one atmospheric drone from the "though-forms" patreon

mary says "maybe tomorrow"

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

The past, immutable -
an icicle stabs
directly downward

A crimson-lit midnight blue space, a low bed with chrome fabric coverlets,  a glass ceiling above exposing star-strafed night sky. It’s plastic melancholia infused with desire, a Lynch sort of vibe.

OVERUSED

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...
