Backward Through Time

Graphikos

An immersive soundscape, that merges field recordings with a track by Snow*Omen @snow_omen (Improvisation Nr. 9 for two guitars and voice). Field recordings: Westhafen (West harbour), Berlin. 
Except for the musical part and not in order of appearance: 
A freight train passes.
A small boat rattles against the mooring.
Scrap metal is transported from one scrap heap to another.
Trucks drive past.
A crane lifts containers. 
An annoying repetitive electronic signal starts and stops at some point. 
A rude dude asks me from a distance to switch off the camera that I don't have, as I record with my Zoom H2N.
Small waves splash against the harbor basin.
And there's wind...

"Ember" is an electroacoustic composition that serves as a sonic portrait of a profoundly inspiring period in my life. This piece reflects my time studying at the Gotland School of Composition in Visby in my early twenties. One of the most breathtaking places in Gotland is Högklint, a cliff reaching 48 meters above sea level located just south of Visby, offering a view of the Baltic Sea to the west and Visby to the northeast. Inspired by the image of this place, I created this piece. Through this composition, I hope to convey the deep connection I felt to both the place and a moment in time.

UNCONDITIONAL LOYALTY

sound art for disquiet0647.


I started with a drone loop made with a broken casio keyboard. I then played the loop through a bluetooth bone conduction speaker. I’ve been experimenting with a cheap speaker and using it to vibrate other objects and record the vibrations with a contact mic. For this track I first used it on one of my litter sculptures that has a metal tin attatched. Each face of the tin sides gives a slightly different sound when the bone conduction speaker is moved around. I made two tracks like that and panned them hard left and right. The result is a subtle pulsing effect.

Then I made another two recordings of the speaker on top of a buckled crash cymbal. I left the speaker alone and let it slowly move across the cymbal by its own vibrations. Both are straight down the middle with no stereo effects, one is EQ’d to cut out a lot of the top end.

The Sun Shits Candy Tears Like Goddamn Double Rainbows Every Day Forever ... And She Is Crying Because She Fucking Loves Us So Much It Hurts ... She Sees That None Are Cradled In Loving Flaming Shrouds Of Plasma ... Our Coat Of Impervious Liquid Light Warding Off All Danger ... But Now We Are Left Only A Faintest Memory Of Once Being Snug And Warm, Forever Cradled Safe inside Her Furnace ... Our True Elemental Nursery Now Switched For These Cold Bodies ...  She Has Know The Inevitable And Only Story Arch Waiting For Us The Moment She First Recognized Us Inside These Frail Vessels  Without Infernos Of  Flaming Cocoons Fiercely Shielding And Protecting Us From Harm ... Even Without Fire Blankets One Can Now Actually Meditate On This Right Here  Circumstance In Solitude But The Act Alone Can Not Save Your Sanity From Finding Out About Its Nature ...    No Matter From Where You Look It Leads To An Inescapable Single Elemental Truth ... Being And Not Being are The Same,  Always Have And Also Making This Story Fundamentally The Funniest  Example Of A Fable Macabre And Bold Manifest To Nothingness

Double Rainbows

A small tribute to Hemingway's masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea. An intro depicts the drama of a fisherman not caughting a fish for 84 days. The melodic pianoforte theme is Santiago going out  anyway (00:50), then the encounter with the marlin (from around 1:33 to 2:30), then the shark arrival. Finally (from 3:09) Santiago coming back.

Made with love with a NI Maschine+ and a Yamaha DGX670 digital piano.

art which overwhelms the senses, makes no sense, is incongruous with the 'normal' thinking process, which transforms and transmutates the listener into something they were not during before, and creates a permanent evolutionary change.

 
"Music projects a living image into your existence, it is an expression of something beyond our own comprehension, seemingly existing as part of the moment only as color and feeling – something that Unearth Noise has been able to achieve with every single track that I've listened to. The name itself can allow you to vaguely imagine what you are about to fall under the spell of. " -Rolby Perez of Neitherzine (http://neitherzine.com/)
