Name: Desert Wind with Grasses and Sand by Laura Giannone- Ebbtide Sound
Duration: 6 min 14 s
Description: I enjoyed recording some winds recently, in this section there are some grasses, loose sand, and occasional birdsong, and various tones from the shape of the spot where I had the mics

Stereo complexity, the slow shifts, very satisfying.

Morning in the Nature Reserve Seeholz near Utting / Ammersee /Bavaria. 
In this beautiful natural forest with abundant bird life, I made this sound recording at 7am. The tall trees create a beautiful reverb that adds to the three-dimensionality of the recording.

Desert Wind with Grasses and Sand

Been meaning to get around to posting something to a Disquiet Junto, and since this Junto is about finally getting around to something this seemed like a good time to jump in.

Musically the idea is to do music for meditators, similar to the sound bath genre. Sound Bath music usually uses sounds associated with Buddhism, like gongs and bells from Tibet. I find those instruments a little corny, appropriated, exoticist. My background is americana and folk. That's what I can play in an authentic way. So the main instruments here are from bluegrass - an old Gibson mandolin and a National steel guitar. In addition to those I'm playing a synthesizer, an Arturia Microfreak, using a bell sound that recalls traditional sound bath influences. All of these sounds are passing through a Microcosm pedal, which adds some classic ambient flavors like delay, glitching, and heavy reverb. The song that this is all based on is a fiddle tune called "The Black Water Fall."

MP3 and sheet music etc are on my blog at https://playingintongues.com/2023/09/28/on-the-third-day-she-left/

The Black Water Fell (disquiet0613)

This is a ~5 min segment from a recent recording session of an atonal ambient/drone patch, inspired by Jaap Vink’s ‘screen patch’ explorations. New territory for me, been trying out feedback patching for awhile and this is a first attempt in doing one on this style. The sound source is ring modulated feedback created by patching a handful of Eurorack modules together.

The key modules are a Doepfer BBD delay, Make Noise Mimeophon, Make Noise Maths, Make Noise Rxmx w/ Fxdf, and Mutable Instruments Blinds. Altogether, a simple "record head / playback head" feedback loop is created that slowly builds by itself, and using Maths to suppress/compress the signal by acting as an envelope follower that controls the overall patch amplitude.

Blinds is patched as a ring modulator, and Rxmx/Fxdf stand in for the 'third octave filter' suggested in the original Screen Patch. This allows the feedback to be processed through 6 bandpass filters, including being able to scan through one or more filter bands. 

I also added another multi-mode filter, wave folder, and through zero FM VCO into the patch, allowing for more timbral range and ending up with a metallic resonance that I was pleased with.

If you're interested, check out Jaap Vink's work in the 1970s at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht, exploring ring modulated feedback patching with the 'screen patch'. More on the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Bcr_HS9XM
