Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture
The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

Step 1: Take as inspiration the warning in the photo that serves as this project’s cover image.

Step 2: Think about the concept of creating an unobtrusive path through the musical equivalent of fragile vegetation.

Step 3: Record a piece of music that traces the path you imagined in Step 2.

halF fragilE [disquiet0528]

I made a bunch in Musyc before I arrived at All Aglow.  This is a construct using "strings".  It's run first through an Empress Echosystem on green tape, and then into an Empress Reverb on green ghost.  

I wanted the feeling of casually roaming down a path and, at times, almost teetering with the edge of the path.

The image is a detail of my painting All Aglow.

All Aglow (disquiet0528)

The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

I stared by writing a simple but quite precise chord progression with voicings and all (A-A-B+Coda), and recorded that on 3 electric bass tracks performing artificial harmonics, a 4th melodic bass track using a volume pedal, and a 5th track of normal bass notes. Glued it with an analogue synth pad.

To walk unobstructive through that  full and chatty bed of bass guitar notes  I used a Melodica line, performed on the higher register and recorded using my ribbon microphone to grab as much room sound and less attack as possible, avoiding to interfere with the sparkling, ping-ponging bell-like harmonics.

The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

I somehow felt the vegetation to be very alien, high frequency, fragile and stereo, the visitor of the flora low frequency, stabile and mono. From there on  I fumbled together things in Reaper. It got a bit lenghty, but I like it very much and needs it's time.

Fragile Vegetation [disquiet0528]

American avant-electronic musician and essayist Bret Schneider holds no institutional allegiance to one artistic medium. His background encompasses a wide range of work experiences and reveals a man who is connected to the world around him in complex, alienated ways. His thoughts on music and philosophy are intertwined into a billowing exposition. But when exploring the dark recesses of his more aural works, there is an inherent flexibility. Phasing percussive elements and frayed droning lines all lead to a perpetually shifting feeling for an aural uncanny. As fractured as his music can be, there is a dim spark of rumination that threads through his synthetic machinations.

On his latest release, “Xilinx,” Schneider taps into a primordial electronic noise—the kind that rests just on your periphery, unwinding itself to reveal myriad sordid circuits and disjointed projections. These tracks maintain a wired mania, expressing an unsettling undercurrent of ragged repetition and warbling drones. There’s an unexpected elasticity to Schneider’s cabled rhythms, and they often shift across several temporal lines before turning inward, struggling to illuminate an intimate dissonance or imagine a multi-chambered core. Displaying a raw and unusually concise knowledge of how these sounds might fit together, “Xilinx” is part zoetrope, part post-industrial dreamscape. It is an inquiry into the idea of internal movement, a contorted experiment in musical patterning, and an experiment in self-replication.
