Very special sonic room, you composed. Like it very much. And as always: very appealing artwork!

sound art for disquiet0634

The base layer is O Pastor Animarum by Hildegard von Bingen.

I recorded it with contact mics on a precariously balanced sound sculpture.
I liked the effect so much that I added a few more layers, but with short blasts of me skipping through tracks by different composers. Tracks included Mozart’s Requiem, Arvo Part’s Tabula Rasa and the Phillip Glass track The Grid from Koyaanisqatsi; which, along with the grid like elements of the sound sculpture, inspired part of the track title. Hildegard’s religious visions are also an inspiration.

Grid hallucinations are simple geometric shapes that are identified as occuring at the inital stages of trance or other altered states.

The image I used for the track is a watercolour I made while listening back to it and thinking about the sound travelling through the sculpture.

No effects just some EQing.

Muffled Sonata in A minor, Andante, by Georg Philipp Telemann, overlaid with a slightly sinister orchestra of Baby Audio Atoms, TAL Sampler, and Arturia Pigments.

I bookended Todd (@toaster-1) Elliott's shorter rail crossing recording with percussion and drums, then added a chord progression. (https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/train-source-1?si=3a06785c071440e99ae7fedfddd856a9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)

I based my track around a recent field recording from a bus stop. You hear people talking in different languages, birds, traffic… a typical midday inner city drone. To this I added several Synth tracks, filters and effects.

Reuploading my full length "STRANGE FRONTIERS" in celebration and preparation of its LP vinyl release. Artwork by Shelby Kistler.

"Completely improvised and live, "Strange Frontiers" is the project from Austin Davis of Wolf Party that builds cinematic NeoWestern Soundscapes using acoustic guitar. The unique sound of this release comes from the serendipity of recording and manipulating an instrument with such organic tones like the acoustic guitar, live, with almost no post-production, maintaining the organic quality of the sound as well as the highly textural and subtle nuance of using a guitar in such an unusual way. This is dark ambient super psychedelic guitar music that will chill you out to say the very least, and inspire and move you inside at its very best. Visual, cinematic, and strange: this is one esoteric oddity you want to give a real listening chance. If you allow it to unfold to you in its own time, I promise auditory rewards! Audiophiles will love it! Inspired by the deserts and hill country of Texas, esoterica, and psychedelia, Strange Frontiers aims to dazzle, captivate, and evoke that kind of imagery as it guides you through a unique, textural, and nuanced sound experience like you haven't had before, while delivering some serious Southwestern vibes."

The Limited edition cassette is available only from Foreign Object Damage or from me directly, as I have only a few artist copes left.

Includes unlimited streaming of Strange Frontiers via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Download available in 16-bit/44.1kHz.
