"Nostromo revisited" is a sound atmosphere inspired by some room tones and the spaceship of the movie "Alien". The original Nostromo that I have just revisited was uploaded to freesound (https://freesound.org/people/fectoper/sounds/59/) just after its opening, back in 2005. That file has been downloaded thousands of times, and has been included in games, videos, music tracks, etc. I created this kind-of room tone with my JD-800 synthesizer, around 1993. Here I have extended its duration and added some layers, depth and processing.

The creative process is an addiction but not an obsession.
This short sentence is repeated numerous times with one layer slowed down and the whole subjected to a chain of changing effects.

"And that's how I returned drone music to its rightful place in the discotheque."

Disquiet Junto 714 dared me to take a song I'd made before and create a remix from someone else's perspective. I had the idea to start with a lovely drone I did when I first got the vintage rackmount Yamaha TX-802. I didn't have any particular remix artist in mind for this, just more or less gave myself permission to play and explore and try to transform a monotonal piece into something you can dance to. 

In addition to the Yamaha, this piece features the rich bass of a Moog Minitaur and the irresistible bump of a Roland TR-08 drum machine.

I pulled in a recording of a jam oriented free jazz trio I had around 1990. I remixed the jam on my ipad using Koala sampler app.

Exoplanetary Noise Soup (disquiet0718)

Landing on what has been code named the 'Red' Planet, the cautionary exploration takes plae in an abandoned unidentified technological facilty in the middle of a desert of this newly identified planet. Here is a short audio extract of what the stealth drone recorded during that search.

This piece is in response to this week's @disquiet project. More on the 718th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Planet Jam It — The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization — at https://disquiet.com/0718/.

Red Planet (disquiet0718)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0718: Planet Jam It. The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization.
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0718 discussion thread on Lines:
This is posted for future reference. This audio is believed to be recorded music from an advanced civilization on an unknown planet. It was captured sometime in 2126, and transmitted back to Earth from a deteriorating research drone many years ago. Unfortunately, since Earth no longer exists, humans have never heard it.

Lost Transmission [disquiet0718]

Disquiet Junto Project 0718: Planet Jam It. The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization.

This recording was made in 2126 as part of Krakenkraft Interstellar Inc.'s ARP (Audio Reconnaissance Program), and its significance is only now being fully understood. We are most probably hearing the dream singers of Yith, a mentally time-traveling civilization. Unfortunately, despite intensive AI efforts, the drone's engine noise could not be removed, for which they have apologized repeatedly. Unfortunately, we do not know what happened before and after radio contact was lost...

Rare Recording Of The Dream Singers Of Yith [disquiet0718]

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
