the punk of 4 years ago AND the punk of now. music's slowed down

diabolical, wonderful, original. Really dig this one!

nice combination of the scraping with the more soft sounds

"...more compressed than James Corden’s odour eaters" - superb!

The vocal sample is wonderfully reminiscent of Throbbing Gristle, and percussion reminds me of Coil or some underground 80s group like Zero Kama.

Fantastic! Sounded like a lot of work, in all senses of the phrase. Very enjoyable.

This week's haiku challenge:

On the spring equinox
Clouds wander about
The entrance of a mountain temple

The problems we have with these people. [disquiet0022-sonicdecay]

This track is an entry to  disquiet junto 22 investigating sonic decay.

Instruments used: 
half a sofa full of pans, bowl and lids hit with a stick and recorded on Mobile phone
Radio news interview recorded on mobile phone.

Method:
Various short percussion  sessions were recorded with my phone. This uses .amr files. “Adaptive Multi-Rate is a compression technology used for encoding audio files that are primarily speech based.” - these are more compressed than James Corden’s odour eaters.
Files were downloaded onto my computer. A rogue sound file of a radio interview got into the batch so I thought I’d use it too.  The music loops were edited 5.5 secs and 2.75 secs  so that they would synchronize. 
I chose a 5 sec loop- the one that goes “bing bang bong, bing bang bong” and made 22 copies of it using various configurations of a plug in called dfx geometer in wavelab lite. Geometer is a visually oriented waveform geometry plugin. It works by generating some "points" or "landmarks" on the waveform, moving them around and messing them up, and then reassembling the wave from the points. http://destroyfx.smartelectronix.com/ 
The idea was that each version would decrease in quality , the loop getting more and more mangled as the piece progresses.
A trio of faster banging loops were kept untreated.

The last three occurrences of the vocal loop each had different effects applied, to it in pro Tools le. These were  Ampeg guitar amp, funk logic masterizer, and pro tools shittest ever plug in , Cosmonaut Voice.
Some other audio destructions I made while experimenting are scattered through the piece at low volume. An extra low quality sample comes in during the fade out.

I did more or less keep to the guidelines, but  as all files were recorded on my phone the contrast of high quality and decayed sounds is not so evident- though there is a sense of the track slowly sliding into no-fi noise.


The problems we have with these people. [disquiet0022-sonicdecay]

Interested in collaborative projects -  The more inappropriate the better.  London based. home built noise toys and circuits, broken tape recorders, hex bugs in biscuit tins. Field recordings of air conditioning outlets.broken cassettes. and maybe the odd bit of class gear.

maxims:

If you dont like the sound of out of tune guitars  then you dont like the sound of  guitars.

Try again, fail better
