Hiro Kone invites SYANIDE - 26/04/2021

Psychic Liberation presents “Friendly CSA Compilations Parts 1 & 2”. A compilation in two parts consisting of artists orbiting the PL canon from around the world in an effort to raise funds for Roots Unbound Friendly CSA.

Roots Unbound (RU) is an abolitionist grassroots organization based in Brooklyn offering nature-based programming centered around food justice, therapeutic horticulture and ecological disinvestment to people in the NYC area with a focus on supporting and uplifting people impacted by the carceral system.

Friendly CSA is a cooperative, agricultural initiative that was mobilized to respond to the food apartheid within New York jails and prisons. Roots Unbound sends care packages of harvested produce that are
chosen by incarcerated folks via a newsletter sent out every month, by growing and collaborating with local New York City land stewards. This CSA is provided at no cost to the recipients, funds raised for this CSA will be used towards packaging, postage, printed materials for newsletters, and a P.O. box.

Walking through an exhibition he looks down and reads, “Experimental evidence of Steno's law shows that faces of the crystals of the same substance have the same orientation, regardless of the particular crystalline habit.” Now, we present Crystallography by Korinami.

“All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Evolution grows into the darndest things. Babies who had the ability to recognise a smile on their mother’s face had higher probability to connect with their progenitors on a motion level, resulting in a higher chance to stay alive. The hominids who recognised shapes of both predators and preys between the dense forests lived longer to pass their genes to futures generations.

However, evolution recons that it is better for certain faculties to be developed in excess, than in scarcity. Various perceptive phenomena came as side effects from that excess, which is the case of the Apophenia, the recognition of patterns in random data. Maintaining a motional link with particular notions could also offer evolutive advantage, in a pre-scientific method world. Still, when cognitive fallacies get collective acceptance, they tend to grow stronger and stronger without any room for reasoning. Indeed, it is easier to grasp or chase a familiar concept than acquire updated information that ravishes lifelong personal beliefs. Our only tools to fight this tendency is patience and early education. And so, this is not meant to be a harsh criticism on post-truth, but an explicative sound narrative containing a factual core for why said fallacies and cognitive phenomena are formed.

(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.
