Rework of Kosmische II same but with piano elements

Kosmisk Strålning II

For Disquiet Junto #disquiet0643, we were asked to create a piece of music inspired by a line of poetry from Yoko Ono: "Take the sound of a stone aging". Thus was born an ancient city, a blasphemous ruin of basalt, constructed at angles that defy geometry. We hear it rising from a raging ocean.

The unsettling whirring sound is a sample of a replica prehistoric stone woer-woer, or bullroar. The bell-like tapping is quantized but otherwise unprocessed field recordings of the "ringing rocks" in Buck County, Pennsylvania: so-called "sonorous stones" that ring like bells when struck with a hammer. One of the pads is based on a sample of my own voice. All of the ocean sounds (except in the outro) were created capturing a live performance of high- and low-pass filter sweeps on a pitched-down white noise source.

Best enjoyed with speakers with good bass response.

Recorded at NO SIGNAL Multimedia Labs in The Shambles, Chicago, USA. Don't be afraid to #makeunpopularmusic.
