Scent of a Rose

sound art for disquiet0679.

I have quite a few of my sound sculptures outside in my garden at the moment. Mostly to create space in my cramped studio, but also to let them get exposed to some weather. Letting nature in, to change them and the way they sound, collecting rain water and going rusty. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the weather has been sub-zero in the mornings so the sculptures got frozen. I picked a few and took them into the studio to record.

The main body of the track is an idea from a sound installation I did in 2024 called The Trickle. It used an apparent running water sound that was created by playing coins embedded in wood with animal bones. This seemed to fit with the idea of the frozen landscape thawing as the sun came up.

I put some of the sculptures on top of a radiator to melt the ice a bit and then swirled the ice and rain water around inside a sculpture with a tin on it, like ice cubes in a drink.

The sculpture with golden flowers got played with animal bones, just like the coins.

All recorded with contact mics and no effects. A bit of EQing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0679: Ice Age
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

With my Zoom H5 I recorded some Ice Cubes falling into and moving inside a salad bowl made of glass. I made a lot of efforts to get most out of the sound, for example I placed the bowl on a clotheshorse, so that it can swing more freely … but at the end I didn't use these sounds. I applied a lot of diverse stretching and reverb to get some pads and made a Pigments granular patch with some sounds I liked most. What I had planned didn't work and I made a lot of unusable detours. Now it's mostly an improvisation over some kind of instable repetitive structure, and I like it. All sound is based on the ice cube glass recordings; you may assume there are water noises, but it's really (stretched) ice, maybe sometimes with some surrounding meltwater.

The recordings can be found on my Freesound page

ICEDESCENCE [disquiet0679]

JAMUARY2025 - Day 4 - Saturday Night

An ice cube dropped into a glass - that is the starting point. Aside from the melancholic drone via a CS-80 emulation, all the sounds are derived from the original sample, with the processing being done via Arturia's Fragments and Motions plug ins.

This piece may might have good 1/f fluctuation characteristic although I stopped investigating it each piece.

The best song in the last few years, Shin Clair De Lune, was born, so I named the album after it. The opening song is that song.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
