Name: Phantom Oscillator - Improvisation For Solo Lyra - 8 Synthesizer,(Love Theme For A World Gone Mad) by William Elliott
Duration: 13 min 23 s
Description: An extended improvisational piece using only the Soma Laboratory Lyra-8. This is the second in a series of pieces exploring the Lyra-8's Hyper LFO and the "Organismic" way it interacts with and influences the rest of the synth.

This is incredibly sick and it's a fascinating experience!

Caterpillar
Opens her new wings
Metamorphosis

My Naviar Haiku

The Painful Opening Of The Wings (naviarhaiku503)

A guitar-only ambient offering for the Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself

The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

This has my present-day performance being overdubbed on to a recording I made decades ago. Which lends a new meaning to this week's call for music that "listens to itself" .

In order to select a launching pad to work off of, I had a search around my personal sound library and found a sample I recorded on my tape deck back in 1992. This starts off the track, fed through various delay instances in Logic. 

Onto that, I overdubbed three guitar tracks using different settings/modes on the Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat, a granular sampler/delay that plays and re-plays what you feed into it, changing the sounds constantly through its internal algorithms as it goes along - and I also opted to make it sound even more organic by keeping fiddling with the knobs as the sounds played back. 
I went for particularly calm, slow movements, in order to achieve that "meditative" and "particularly quiet" quality Marc (@disquiet) called for.

I am particularly fond of the tension between the material from then vs the recordings made now. What you're hearing on top of that basic track is a kind of bass line and two more mid-range/trebly Fabrikat tracks. Et voilá!

Enjoy!

An Empty House [NaviarHaiku512]

#oldschool  #drum&bass  #underground  #british

" Middle Minded " loves crafting beats using Fruity Loops, Ableton and Cubase. Sampling the Amen break is his jam, and he weaves it into the tracks heavily, accompanied by heavy atmospheres. Started out in 2001, steadily learning the ropes, and creating music on and off. As the name suggests, trying to keep it in the middle by dabling with drum&base, drumfunk, breakbeat, bigbeat, and from time to time, a slow down with boom bap and trip-hop. Enjoy.

Middle Minded - Untitled13

the 2018 was a very difficult year for me ...
understanding after so many years of having come to the end of a relationship was not easy to accept. I tried with all my strength to save something that escaped me like sand in my hands.
at the same time I poured all my interior experience into the creative act, as a source of salvation, into a cathartic act.
suspension between abyss and ecstasy ...
I was feverishly working on the realization of my first album.
project which, moreover, was interrupted due to the breakdown of my mac .. I lost several important information, such as sounds created with the help of different vst plugins .. and I still try to recover data etc .. to continue the project.
even today it is not easy for me to listen to this piece again.
it takes me back in time, and inevitably a few tears still line my face.
however, it is one of the few pieces accompanied by a text written at the time. I find it extraordinary how pain is able to take new shape through art.
here is the text to follow:

Packaged lives.

Packaged lives.


And in all our going
Without an arrival

Enjoy the trip, at least

While pretending to be tired

Packaged lives

With the heart immersed
Inside a well

Packaged lives

Looking for my place
In the world.


A place in time, with you

Packaged lives

And in all our going
Without an arrival

Packaged lives

Enjoy the trip, at least

Packaged Lives

this time I used Ableton to elaborate this musical idea, however the first with this daw, which I find very interesting on a functional level. shame about the workflow, but unlike cubase it is definitely designed for a live environment. as a first experiment not bad, I hope it is the first of a long series.

Morning *provisory title

William Elliott makes experimental synthesizer-based music under a number of aliases, including Phantom Oscillator, GASGIANTS, Interferenzmaschine, and Occam's Raygun. His uncompromising improvisational style has led him to embrace hardware synths such as the iconic Soma Laboratory Lyra-8 and Eurorack modular synths among others.
