Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain

Disquiet Junto Project 0479: Truck Radio Rain. Locate three sound sources and make something with them.

The rain is from last year's summer, the car and tram noises (no trucks today, sorry) from todays stroll in the sun and the radio was recorded with an cheap (digital) old world receiver (via headphone output, which nearly drove me mad). A "melody" can be heared, which is me manually switching LW 279, 278, 277 … and back, which was kind of melodious (maybe more like a filter sweep). I wanted to add some websdr recordings from number stations but it did'nt work out. – Arrangement in a generative Live setup. The original was much longer, but (maybe after all that disturbing noise from the radios) I thought it's better below 3 minutes, because I'm not convinced. I feel like I need some new age pads now…

poem / copyright jo richter:

der schaukellack blättert
in rostbraunen schuppen
hier spielt kein kind
es sind nadeln im sand

so hochgrau die wand
als taumle tag blind
zwischen staubaugenpuppen
kein vorhangstoff flattert

hier, wo sich sinne nicht nähren
hier sei die anmut zu finden
hatte der seher verkündet

hier, wo güte still schwindet
hier, wo die augen erblinden
kehre sie ein um zu gebären

interlinear translation: fair faced // the veneer on the swings flakes off / in rusty brown scales / there is no child playing / there are needles in the sand // the wall rises high and grey / as though day stumbled blindly / among dusty-eyed puppets / no fabric moves in the windows // here, where senses don't feed / here you will find grace / the seer had prophesized // here, where kind hearts are fading / here, where eyes are blinded / here she'd come to give birth //

Glasswork Nr. 1

in are, ( t We )

Jingle Guitare

just a quick little recording of a silly song I've had in my head for a while. 

CAPO 4th fret 

Em g c AM b7


I'm still living on an island

Seas of corn makes waves for me

20 miles in all directions 

To get me where I need to be


On every beach there sits a silo

Near every house there sits a tree

Every night I see the stars shine

And hear the howl of coyotes 


The evenings when the train rolls through 

Whistle blowing on for miles 

At the four way intersection 

People still wave you on and smile 


There's a gas station for every soul

And they know you by your name

When you tried to move out somewhere else

Things just didn't feel the same


***There's a bar for every church

And a church for every bar

We've got a little store here

When you don't want to drive too far

The roots run deep And the talk is cheap 

And some lessons never learned

A road you've been down a thousand times

And bridges never burned

It's a small town thing 


I used to hate this little island 

I didn't want to stick around

It seduced me with it's emptiness

And now I can't stand noise downtown


When people ask me whats to do here

I really have to stop and think

sitting on my porch, watching the birds

And walks down the middle of the street


Boy and these roads are from my childhood

Potholes that'll swallow you whole

Where The sidewalks like to end

And streetlights still have that amber glow


Everywhere you stop you see

A face you used to know

It might not sound so fancy

But in your heart it's Always home


***


It's got it's small town charm

Every view still has a farm

And people stop and talk whenever they might meet

And the city's creeping in 

You'd never guess if you still live 

In a small town..  like me.. 









It’s a small town thing

built a chord from a square wave into a clock divider and mixing 4/5/6/7 divisions back together, each division vca with a random looping envelope

as per the prompt, run through a high pass filter to keep things bright and breezy

mult the result and pass copies, again independently random envelope vca, through various effects (delay, granular, reverb) and mix back together

Truck Radio Rain - disquiet0479

More on this 479th weekly Disquiet Junto project – Truck Radio Rain (The Assignment: Locate three sound sources and make something with them) – at: https://disquiet.com/0479/

Our prompt was inspired by John Cage and we were to find samples of rain, cars driving, and static between radio stations or record them ourselves, then make a track with only those sounds.

The Junto is a place for me to try new (usually brand new) things and share results, no matter how rough they are. This track is a documentation of my first ever jam with Cheat Codes V2 run on my Norns Shield and controlled with Grid... Also the first time I ran the script... and read through the manual. This script has some depth and I need to dig in, but in the mean time, try to get through this awkwardly choppy amalgamation of sound.

Three Elements (disquiet0479)

homemade car, radio and rain samples manipulated in ChucK--successively slowed with pitch shocks and beat shortened. Thanks Marc for the prompt!  https://github.com/charliekramer/ChucK/blob/master/disquiet0479.ck

Disquiet0479 Truck Radio Rain

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.

Ambient electronica, Berlin School, Chillout & Kosmische Space Musik from Munich, Germany. ► Soundcloud is my musical diary - expect lightfooted drafts, soundchecks, playthings & misfits here. ► Go Bandcamp for finished pieces & more serious musical works.
