Funky track made entirely with the MFOS Soundlab Mark ii I just finished building.

Woody Groove

An audio track to accompany the silent film “Untitled #8, 2004″ by Josh Azzarella, posted long after the Disquiet Junto deadline.

I was inspired by the imagery to work with manipulated sounds of seagulls, rain and water drops, downloaded from www.freesound.org. The clips were posted by the following freesound members and are used either under the Creative Commons open license or the CC Attribution license (available at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode):

Each of these clips was manipulated extensively using Audacity and Mammut to create timestretched, tempo stretched, spectrally manipulated loops and extracts, which were then loaded into AudioMulch for arrangement on a 2m31s timeline with automated mixing.

That's How Jellyfish Roll (disquiet0455)

Jellyfish have three essential life functions. They eat, have sex, then they die. The rest of the time, they simply float about the water trying to avoid being attacked by predators. It’s not a bad way to live.

The jellyfish mating ritual is typically the outcome of chance encounters experienced while drifting about the ocean currents. Think of it like aquatic low-speed dating in today’s pandemic climate, with potential partners randomly hooking up while trying to stay away from each other.

Suss Müsik considered the art of avoidance in developing this short piece. Two synth engines were modulated to allow their waveforms to “drift” unpredictably, with a small dollop of spring-reverse reverb to create a “bounceback” effect. An alternating pattern for fake dulcimer provides the melodic “current” that brings these two mates together. 

Jellyfish die not long after mating, and such is the case with this piece. A few brief piano notes symbolize the fertilization process and portend the coming demise. What once was clear becomes opaque and drops to the ocean floor.

The piece is titled Scyphozoa. The image is a public domain photograph by Lydia Jacobs.

Scyphozoa [Disquiet0455]

My idea was to base this piece around the Portuguese man o' war. On further research, I found out a man o' war not only is not a jellyfish,  it is also not an "it", but a "they"-- a colony of organisms working together.  I suppose I was napping during that part of Marine Biology class.  This piece embraces the idea of a young jellyfish and its sometimes fitful dream of being a mighty Portuguese man o' war.
