Love this one, the juxtaposition works really (and surprisingly) well. It feels a little voyeuristic, like I have had my head on your pillow!

nice! The Chance Meeting of How the Night Came and Sevenism in Ohm Research’s Audio Dissecting Table. an excellent case can be made that this is what the astronaut/aristocrat in 2001 would have chosen to play in his Louis XIV space-Versailles home soundsystem :slight_smile:

yeah therein lies the rub – happy accidents still have to be happy, and we decide about that :slight_smile:

definitely! and the use of your own vid (and sounds of course) is what made that mashup good. the silents are decent sources, but then we have to build on/bounce off of them… :slight_smile:

they returned Metropolis to copyright? uuuggghhh that should not be possible, everyone involved in the original is long gone…

HONK!fest meets an ad hoc a cappella flash mob, and what are the chances of that! let us shift the dissecting table to find out… really nice dissonances at play in the field of texture :slight_smile:

the carnivalesque has funhouses, sure, but what are those weird mirrors really reflecting? is it that something wicked this way comes, or does it not come fast enough? what happens when dreams are disrupted; is an irruption into the real the most real, or the real’s undoing? questions, questions… and thx for the reference to Toby Dammit — I looked it up as I was unfamiliar; loves me some Poe, oh yes :slight_smile:

I will probably be the last one to submit this week, but just possibly better late than never.

The idea here was to work with two dissimilar items, in this case a twelve-tone row and a tonal center. The more I worked on this the more I was able to find, and with hours to go before the deadline for completing the piece, I am offering what is part of what should become a much larger piece, as I still see numerous opportunities for playing with this idea.

A Sewing-Machine And An Umbrella was written for Flute, Clarinet, Trombone, Violin, Viola and Cello.

The score is available at http://bit.ly/2Ecb2hm

The umbrella and sewing machine were the samples I used
The chance was in the randomness of throwing it together until stuff worked (beauty)
The dissecting table was FL Studio
The whole undertaking was surreal :grinning:

Dissecting-table drone,
Glitchy sewing beats,
Chance random Gestrument umbrellaic instruments,
Is there beauty in the flute?

When criminals in the world appear
Expect abstract foley sounds from key chains to clicks.
Read what users say:
Is it any wonder that mankind stands open-mouthed before the bartender?
Diarrhea Draught,
Dixie Cocktail,
Dream,
Delusion.
Thanks to our acoustic object models,
the cry goes out both far and near
for Jimbo! Tom Bullock!
St. Louis Style.
This is not a Librivox recording.

Like a lost Ives piece. Lovely and mysterious. Bravo.

beautiful piece — it doesn’t even sound like you’re “working with”, it just sounds like music. and the score is equally austere and lovely, thanks for posting it as well! from our vantage point in the 21st century, surrealism could be said to be “classical”…looking forward to hearing its next iteration :slight_smile:

delicate and mesmerizing, the depths of the eternal abyss and the temporal ship floating over, unawares… :slight_smile:

incremental incidental percussive builds to melody or rhythmic patterns, before bursting briefly apart, then building, differently, again – love your interpretation of appliances by instruments, yet another layer of surrealist gesture :slight_smile:

HOW did I miss that it’s a Satie rip-off! I’ll blame the fact that I’m only ever half-awake when I hear it :slight_smile:
