And now for some delicious raw homemade monotony... Bon appétit

Violin-bow on electric guitar, electric piano, effect-pedals, voice, unsynchronized loops, two tube amps. All sounds, mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark. Image: Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin (photo: VSS)

One To Eight

Secondo incontro con il brano di Marco Lucchi.
Cambio di metodologia: pezzo essenzialmente strumentale, con un continuo contrappunto al fluire del piano di Marco.

Strumentazione:

1) Contrabasso. Con arcata ampia e sostenuta, ideale bordone per la partitura sovrastante.
2) Calimba (molto riverberata) e mellotron. Sono i suoni armonico/percussivi che fanno da contrappunto costante al pianoforte principale.

Ideale allegoria di un passare nel chiaroscuro della luce, nella natura pura e incontaminata.



Paloma: 2009 - 13 10 2024. 
Vale.

13.10.2024  (R/R "soliloquy" by Marco Lucchi)

Snow*Omen/Velvet Something Superdark collaboration based on Henry  Purcell,  Dido and Aeneas: When I am laid in Earth (Dido's Lament). Music: Snow Omen @snow_omen (recording of a live performance, voice Y.A., electric guitar VSS). Added noise, mixing and production: VSS. All sounds Snow*Omen & VSS. Image: VSS.

When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Washing Up The Mountain ( Naviarhaiku 570 )

Track notes are here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0675-arc-of-the-drone/69838/23

**Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone**  
The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 28/29 Apr 2023 & 11 Jan 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Yesterday, thinking of this week's Haiku and Junto, I had an idea to go back to 2 days in 2023 to start a new album (second start today) & use the two tracks for this week as a starter. This would be similar to my work elsewhere where I have a long stretch of material to chop up into different tracks.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Ceclia, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. I had something that was not close to being anything I wanted tonight. I changed direction and started two new MIDI tracks to run a metallic Collision and a Massive X bass. Then I went back to the first two tracks and applied Fragments and it gelled for me.

Gleaming Greasy (disquiet0680)

My contribution to Junto Project 0683 - https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0683-space-shot/70693

The first half of the track I wanted to capture the spaciousness and mystery of a cavernous space station – brutalist in design, surrounded by mist. The second half I wanted to take a deep dive into the inner workings of the station, where we hear the isolated clicks of machines and robots discussing the work being done.

Million Miles (disquiet0683)

Thurlasios_03.02

This week's task is rather serendipitous in that I am actually engaged in some minor wood working this weekend. I recently built a small Buchla 100 system (and its case), consisting of what is shown in the image and the as yet unhoused (and not shown) 114 touch control module, which is what the piece of unstained pine sitting on top of the Buchla is destined for. I selected pine because my woodworking skills are still rather rudimentary so working with higher priced and more difficult lumber makes me nervous. Plus, there is something comforting about pine's ubiquity and approachability. Making a mistake with pine seems excusable. Doing so with walnut or oak less so. That said, I got to thinking about the pine that I picked up at my local lumber shop in terms of the conditions under which it is grown and the vast quantities of trees that are stripped from the land so that people like me can make boxes for their vintage synthesizers. Sonically, I imagined this as a somewhat discordant drone, with peaks and valleys and occasional moments of harmony. The trees grow, mainly in a state or quietude, before they are cut down and processed to the sound of chain saws and saw blades. And then everything goes quiet again as the next crop is planted.  Graphically, I notated this imagined scenario as a series of constant lines, punctuated here and there with peaks, valleys, bright and dark spots, representing in part the knots and impurities in the pine but also the experience of the piece of wood in its transition from tree to commodity. Everything you hear was created on my humble System 100, which was first fed through the Empress Zoia pedal using the "soft focus" effect created by Christopher H.M. Jacques and then further transformed in Logic using "fragments," and "motion" from Arturia, with hints of the unprocessed Buchla emerging here and there. And there was panning. Lots of panning, so headphones are the preferred listening approach.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
