was at the spa yesterday. they had an aqua meditation room where the ripples of drips were projected/amplified on the ceiling. my partner thought the ripples matched the new age music but i thought it was just the brain forcing an arbitrary pattern. i was thinking about this project about sound waves bouncing off each other like ripples; and this is the sound i wanted to get across (couldnt record unfortunately, couldnt sneak phone in ..no pockets in the complementary robes)

i played the guitar thru podfarm with heaps of echo and delay all unsynced, not playing to a particular tempo.. following and ignoring the echoes variously / resolutely un-new age
then i put the recording thru izotope ddly to get more delays at different speeds

Disquiet Junto Project 0218: Sound Passage
The Assignment: Following the path of artist Kate Carr, explore sounds from a distance.

The artist and musician Kate Carr generously agreed to provide a prompt this week for the Junto.

Step 1: Consider the ways that sound changes as it travels across space, moving through specific human-built architectures and/or natural geographies. I live near Belfast’s major football stadium, and the roar that travels from the stadium, across the train tracks, up my street, and into my ears is a very different sound to the roar heard when standing in the stadium itself.

Step 2: Record a distant sound, and reflect on what frequencies have made it to your ears from the source, and which ones have bounced or decayed away.

Step 3: Compose a piece based on this recording, and your meditation on the ways its very journey to you has changed the sounds inherent in it.

Background: Kate Carr composes soundscapes based on field recording and non-conventional instrumentation to explore the relationship between people and place. Weaving together real and imaginary journeys , intensive explorations of sonic enclaves and the re-broadcast of sound in public places, her work is centred on both human and natural geographies.

squarepusher + sevenism - midi sans frontieres (unity fade)

done an album of mixes here https://sevenism.bandcamp.com/album/midi-sans-fronti-res

this is a modified version of one them. i've listened to loads of the remixes - some great stuff out there - but somehow i havent listened to the original yet! (i like to start playing with samples before i listen to them)

MIDI Sans Frontières

full track https://hearthis.at/sevenism/tendentious/

i used acidrack and pressed the same key over and over again.
i had a heap of fx in ableton - ddly>podfarm2>feed me back>six string ambience>loop slippery
lots of echo, distortion .. 6 string ambience mulches things up a bit.. loop slippery added that beat

perfect project for me - i'm always adding way too much fx 

hear it all

i didnt listen to the samples beforehand. loaded them into protoplasm tsm synth (2 instances of the foghorn, 1 of the train), clicked the lazy button, adjusted the oscillator transition. added a guitar amp, chorus delay echo thru podfarm, > then dimension expander > neutrino

then just played and adjusted the octaves of the samples live

pulled the recording into audition and eq'd / mastered.
