Music for Potatoes

Faint

The album begins with a reminiscence of the sea, reverberating waves and suspended echoes of distant, almost forgotten territories. Curved vibrations, nocturnal environments mixed with contemporary research attitudes within the world of liminal/drone music. Oblique surfaces bending in the transposition of azimuth, memory and flow becoming the result of a hypothetical jump. A plastic and interpretative configuration of a body movement, the desire to grow consciously via unresolved mimesis, compendiums of intuitive constellations, deep white light meditation.

Disquiet Junto Project 0651: Why Compute?
The Assignment: Respond to a prompt from George E. Lewis.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”
I, for myself, to be surprised by the improvisations.
But not too much.
That's why half of this track is made up of repeating patterns and the other half of patterns that change through computing slightly (!) with every interation.

Subsidiary Surprise [disquiet0651]

The Assignment: Respond to a prompt from George E. Lewis.

This project is the first of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2024 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 4 through 8 (details at musikfestivalbern.ch). We are working at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who manages the festival’s educational activities. This year is the sixth in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

This week’s prompt was proposed by George E. Lewis, musician, music theorist, music professor at Columbia University, and artistic director of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Lewis is the composer-in-residence at this year’s Musikfestival Bern.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”

This week’s project: record a piece of music that responds in some way to Lewis’ question.

For background, this week’s prompt question is the title of an article that Lewis contributed in 2018 to the book The Oxford Handbook of Algorithmic Music.

Deep Sleep Fourteen

Tout commence dans l'Eau-Mémoire, source vivante au pied de Karsak’a, le rocher et la source. Dans la Grotte des Échos, les voix anciennes se répondent, jusqu’à l’accord discret d’Hepicart. Alors s’ouvre l’océan intérieur, marée calme menant à la Bibliothèque fractale, où chaque fragment porte le tout. Plus haut, les nappes d’air nous relient, et Rosika — Mémoire douce apaise le rythme. Puis surgit (O)vni (N)ew (U)niverse, apparition d’un ailleurs déjà présent. Enfin, les Rivières-cosmos reprennent leur cours, reliant la terre et le ciel, laissant circuler la mémoire.

Eau-Mémoire

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.
