Can't Talk To Tell  |ambient|  |experimental|

live set recorded for room2.fm online show on October 8, 2021. a mix of new and old fav textures (shiny, silky, swishy, fuzzy, hissy) and an ode to the sea, which I miss because my lockdown radius doesn't reach.
Thankyou to Raag Bhatia and Patrick Hase for hosting, designing and curating the room2.fm events.

Motherland

Atmøsphäre & Bålsam - Motherland (Excerpts)

We are excited to present "Ewiger Wald Addendum," a continuation of our journey with the mini-album "Ewiger Wald," released in January on Dronarivm.
This new release, a collaboration between Logic Moon, and the Swedish cellist and composer Henrik Meierkord, explores modern neoclassical ambient music through three distinct versions of the track "Bosch."

In "Ewiger Wald Addendum," we blend Henrik's emotive cello playing with Logic Moon`s signature drones and synths, inviting you into a deeper exploration of our sonic landscape. This release expands our artistic expression and further connects us with our listeners.

(The description provided here is a summary, refer to my BandCamp page for full details).

Description:
Feeding time, my morning ritual, my cat Pixel gets feed before any thing else, no peace otherwise. A meow, saying feed me. Recording Pixel's feeding requests, me getting my breakfast ready (coffee cup rattles, coffee machine) and the after breakfast sounds of my son, Zachary Freund, on his scooter, doing a tail whip on a rather resonant steel bollard, all to be feed into my granular synthesiser, Granie.

A mix of granular synthesis and various other instruments: my voice, Soma Enner, Soma Pipe, Soma COSMOS. Tuning of the synthesisers was largely improvised, no particular system in mind, just choices which I thought suited the mood at the time.

Five field recordings were used for the granular synthesis:
1: Pixel's feed me requests
2: Pixel getting seconds
3: Pixel's human minder getting breakfast ready
4: Coffee machine sounds
5: Scooter and bollard sounds

Track 1, "Feed Me"
Granie granular synthesiser featuring Pixel's meow.
Soma Enner.
Soma COSMOS, Rhythmic #6 mode, dynamic use of blur and drift parameters.
Granie tuning done prior to performance, all five grain buffers had their own tuning.

Track 2, "Coffee
Granie granular synthesised sounds, Soma Enner, Soma COSMOS. As the title suggests, this featured the coffee making sounds.

Track 3, "Scooter"
Granie granular synthesised sounds, featuring the scooter hitting the steel pipe. The clinking of coffee cups provided the percussion. The dual delay+feedback network of the Granie was experimented with here, modulating delay times and gain feedback. The ringing sound of the steel pipe, providing an ostinato, setting the mood.

Track 4, "Passing Through"
Granie synthesiser sounds, Soma Enner, Soma COSMOS.

The underlying theme here was a flickering sound reminiscent of old super 8 movie projector, which was done here through granular synthesis of the coffee cup sounds.

The lead part was played with the Soma Enner and the Soma COSMOS. Various themes were recorded into the COSMOS memory live, layering in, fading out and presenting new ideas and adjusting live the COSMOS Blur and Drift settings (Rhythmic #3 mode). Enner tuning was totally improvised live.

Track 5, "Listening"
Granie synthesiser sounds.
Track five comes back to the original theme, Pixel's meow. At first the meow is definitely not recognisable since the play-back frequency was several orders of magnitude higher than originally recorded, but then towards the end it is gradually slowed down to the original recorded play-back speed to reveal it's source.

Track 6, "Above"
Granie synthesiser sounds.
Human voice -> Soma Pipe -> Soma Cosmos -> Granie synthesiser.
The lead parts were mostly singing into the Soma Pipe using the Resonator mode (dual frequency controls on the Pipe). Naturally I messed with the COSMOS blur and drift settings live during the performance.


The Granie synthesiser is available for purchase from my GumRoad site at:

ready for you to make your own audio journey into granular synthesis.

After an almost 6 year hiatus, and the break up of the audio-visual trio it had evolved into, Origamibiro returns with Miscellany, a body of work amassed during the years since the release of 2014’s Odham’s Standard.

Though the group never officially disbanded, a number of life-changing events meant it simply became impossible to continue together. As such, the project organically reverted back to the solo pursuits of composer Tom Hill. Fellow multi-instrumentalist Andy Tytherleigh, however, remains a strong collaborator.

Miscellany comprises a varied mixture of work, ranging from electroacoustic to orchestral chamber music. Drawing upon much of the found-sound style for which Origamibiro became known, the DIY approach to sampling and composing continues to play a central role in the process.

Exploration into the tangible nature of everyday objects and textures - both in and outside of the home - is a theme relished in much of Origamibiro’s work. Forest brambles and plastic toy Easter eggs are examined in surgical detail alongside the debris of demolished piano parts, to be repurposed into whatever sonic potential they offer up.

However, new additions to the instrumental palette - viola da gamba, piano, zither, singing bowl, glockenspiel, drum machines and gongs - contribute to an even broader timbre.

Miscellany will be released on Denovali, March 2021.
