beautiful - an enveloping of sound; wall-of-sound; all consuming affair; right in the moment-kinda sound work. The narrative and connection to the site is obvious yet also obscure. 10/10 :-)

For me this has a profoundly deep organic ambience, reflecting both the tranquility and the power of nature -- many thanks

A portrait of a brick wall in Perth, Australia for the Tiny Portraits project
flamingpines.com/tiny-portraits/

When I was living south of the river last year, this uncompromising brick wall is something I used to drive past whenever I was heading into the markets or the city. For whatever reason I found its austerity to be amusing; the unadorned facade, with no windows, doors, and (up until recently) not even any graffiti seemed surreal and in some ways signifying of the unglamorous landscape of this suburb. Perhaps its the influence of my friend Drew Woolley, whose own compositional work at the time included postcard pieces dedicated to the mundane urban clutter of Perth’s eastern suburbs, that made this weird southern monument stand out to me so much. Since noticing the wall I’ve been lucky enough to visit the Hamburger Bahnhof exhibition of Joseph Beuys in Berlin and walk through the 20 tons of tallow fat that constitute ‘Unschlitt’, a series of sculptures cast from the useless corner of a pedestrian underpass - ‘a testament to empty space slowly being wasted', as Alena Sokhan describes it. My homage to the wall is my way of trying to look at a similar idea, passing through a more personal veil of memories of people and place that I associate with the area now.

11.8.2016 - Hindustani Classical Music

"imprisoned ghosts in a murdered land'. Electroacoustic piece 1984. The recent events in Chile brought to mind a piece I made in 1984. My wife is Chilean and in 1984 we visited Chile. This was 11 years after the coup and they still had a curfew at 8pm and people disappearing. It is a brutalist piece made even more brutalist by the technology I used at the time including early digital synthesisers and street and radio recordings made on a minicassette dictating machine. In retrospect this really gives an audio impression of living under fascist oppression. I also made variations on the Popular Unity Chilean song 'The people united will never be defeated'. The composer Rzewski made variations on it about the same time but I did not discover his version til years later.

Ambient version of Our song Shamanskoye Shampanskoye.
https://miron.bandcamp.com/album/pap25-shamanskoye-shampanskoye-single  Text in English, from internet primitive translation and my correction (and downhere text in Russian too):
got up early at the shaman's
I mowed Datura
and wearing his Panama hat
suddenly opened the panorama
beyond the mountains and seas
everyone plays Tam Tam
virtuosic passages
Ah and faces if in soot
dancing wondrous dancing
shocking grace
cheer spreading
Party in all directions 

Oh shamanic champagne
a swarm of visions gives out
and bubbles in consciousness
they go numb like honey

what wild visions
with dandelion jam
they all eat
multicolored lights
here are lit everywhere
the center became interesting
and people crowded around
here visions are distributed
what happened in visions yesterday
they discuss until morning
what will happen tomorrow
that will sift the sieve

Oh shamanic champagne
a swarm of visions gives out
and bubbles in consciousness
they go numb like honey

since after yesterday
the game started
images by imagining
scattered at random
the mists were clouded
that is visions and eyes deceptions
fast comes like a lynx
Reality from Mental world appear!
but things went wrong
crooked words arrow
thoughts split in a moment
bringing a scream into my mind
let go that quickly
keep your dreams alive!

Oh shamanic champagne
a swarm of visions gives out
and bubbles in consciousness
they go numb like honey
Text in Russian:
встала рано у шамана
накосила я дурмана
и надев его панаму
вдруг открыла панораму
за горами да морями
все играют на там таме
виртуозные пассажи
ну а рожи будто в саже
танцы дивные танцуют
эпатируют грацуют
развеселье разнося
во все стороны туся

ой шаманское шампанское
рой видений выдаёт
и пузырики в сознание
затекают словно мёд 
что за дикие виденья
с одуванчика варенье
уплетают все они
разноцветные огни
вот зажглися повсеместно
в центре стало интересно
а вокруг столпился люд
тут виденья раздают
что привиделось вчера
обсуждают до утра
а на_завтра будет что
то просеет решето

ой шаманское шампанское
рой видений выдаёт
и пузырики в сознание
затекают словно мёд 
вот уже после вчера
начиналася игра
образы вообразив
разбросало вкось и вкривь
затуманились туманы
вот и зрения обманы
налетают словно рысь
явь из нави появись!
но не те пошли дела
кривотолками стрела
мысли расщепила в миг
пронося в сознанье крик
отпускай же ты скорей
сны свои , держи бодрей!

ой шаманское шампанское
рой видений выдаёт
и пузырики в сознание
затекают словно мёд
