Make a journey into a dead space maze, if you can make the time to listen...

This soundscape song is created and inspired based on a dream. This style of making soundscapes/music is therefore called ‘ Dream Story sonification’ in my opinion. There is a scientific aproach to capture the brainwaves from dream activity into sounds but not the whole story and atmosphere of a dream. For making this possible, there is just the memory of the mind and use it to translate it in the right sounds and compositions with experimental sounds of a sampler/synth or other gear. This I have been training for years, to memorize my dreams and using these dreams in translated sound compositions. That was my intention in this song/soundscape.

GIL - Infolding 
Cat. Nr: DN015
Format: Digital
Release Date: 12 July 2019
Buy: https://bit.ly/2ERpTgG

GIL’s latest record Infolding is released by Danse Noire, his second release on the label since Orchids and Wasps. Aptly named, it traces an inward fold, both of the artist's leanings and the listener's experience. The record is reflective, probing, and supple; its arrangements a development of the musical language explored in his previous release.

Infolding engages both with composition and non-determinism, its playfulness skipping across dramatic deluge and expansive gestures to gently paced segments, a game of hide and seek. GIL displays once again his interest in movement as well as an understanding of the fine aspects which determine familiarity and structure; time as rhythm, embodiment as genre, precognition and expectation – the agents of notional listening get questioned gently and persistently. The result is music which will joyfully betray an ear's expectation, replacing it with a twist or sudden space. The record dances on an unstable surface, dipping where it should rise, halting where it could pound, uttering affecting melodies, gracefully yet laboriously; GIL's is an introspective, churning, bone rattling palette.

Hardly ever offering a moment of rest, he creates environments in which something is perpetually pulling, stretching, towards-tending. Laden with cartwheeling themes and hooks which appear and disappear in different shades, the record houses overarching motifs which appear and scatter over the span of several tracks. This dizzying distribution makes for an in-folded listening, in which the artist considers the record's body as outside of single frameworks, its premises and planting delayed or waylaid by new, unexpected considerations.

The distinct sense of motion in the record is the artist making use of his experience as a live musician, and is further developed due to his aphantasiac condition. An inability to visualize both imagery and sound in his mind spurs GIL into sensing arrangements by physical preemption and resonance, reactively. Unsurprisingly then, Infolding takes shape as a blindfolded, visceral dance.

Another strange, short piece written for mallets. Hope you enjoy!

The Wrong Birds

I Never Really (Really) Understood Animals

Lyrics


Oh I need ya baby
Like the corn need the sun
I need you and you know
It’s true

Without you sunshine
I’d be so glum
It’d be all misery and heartbreak
Without you

And that smile
It lifts me up
It satisfies 
My restless soul

Oh God help me
When you prance and saunter
My poor heart beats so fast
I’m afraid it might falter 

When the good lord in heaven
Sat down to create you
The angles must have gathered around

To gaze in stunned wonder
At the beauty he sundered 
From this medium of flesh and bone

I can’t leave you alone
I’ve got no choice
There ain’t anything else
In this world that would do

I love you woman
And I ain’t no fool
I will not be parted
From this precious jewel

Oh I need ya baby
Like the corn need the sun
I need you and you know
It’s true

Without you sunshine
I’d be so glum
It’d be all misery and heartbreak
About you

And that smile
It lifts me up
It satisfies 
My restless soul

Oh God help me
When you prance and saunter
My poor heart beats so fast
I’m afraid it might stop

As so often the case, I conducted a jam session that took a couple of hours, during which I experimented with a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples, and recorded the stereo result in Audacity. In a posts-production step within Audacity, I extracted the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!

In the last couple of jam sessions I tended to use other pre-recorded sounds and samples from mostly Youtube videos, which I always provided links for. In this particular jam session, I only used sounds and samples from my hardware. The beat comes from the Beatkangz Beat Thang, which also provided the looped string sounds that can be heard at the beginning. The synth pads come from the Arturia MicroBrute, fed through a couple of guitar pedals. The bass line, that is best heard between 3:41 and 4:15 comes from the MircroBrute's arpeggiator, which was fed and modulated through a couple of Eurorack modules, most prominently the LxD in conjunction with the Turing Machine.

As per usual, many defining sounds of this jam session were produced by my modest Eurorack, especially those ethnic sounds that came from the stock audio library of the Radio Music. Since my Eurorack almost always offers elements of surprise, I myself am often caught off guard by the sounds that come out of it. In this particular jam session, I could never have composed or created these intricate ethnic melodies. In that fashion, I am not a creator but merely a humble listener, like yourself.

Another successful collab!

Met No Mates Ensembe on Soundcloud and we really liked eachother's music. After exchanging a couple of messages we decided it would be a good idea to try a collab.

And the rest is history !....

Hope you enjoy! - We certainly enjoyed making it :)

Mainly Prophet Rev 2 Synthesizer + some Korg Minilogue & MB 33 towards the end.

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

Ughten is collaboration between two friends Chase Rockwell and Electric Supply Station.
A friendship spanning 25 years built on music, dancing and confusing the minds of people we meet.
Ughten is created by the simple melodies and ideas crafted by Electric Supply Station being torn apart and reimagined by Chase Rockwell.
Collaboration with no limits
