nice! at different times it reminded me of a full pipe organ, although the stuttering and the other-sourced rhythmic sounds worked against the piece going full-on cathedral. an intriguing mix of the “so-coded” quotidian and transcendent :slight_smile:

hmmm, “zoomed in 1600%” is kind’a it - exemplifying partials to assert harmony seems to give at best “partial harmony” :slight_smile: It’s all generative stuff; lets me off the hook with composition but challenges in trying to coordinate it back into anything coherent! Work fast, keep substance subliminal.

The source material for this came from the sessions of my remix for Disquiet 0359. I have been working with it for the last couple of weeks, and felt it was appropriate for Disquiet 0362.

Hello! I used samples from a street paver for my sewing machine and cast an umbrella of voices above it.

Managed to sneak this in time! :smiley:

I chose this from Les Chants de Maldoror:

“…I felt an unknown strength rising within me. I took hold of a huge stone; after many attempts, I managed to lift it as far as my chest. Then, with my arms, I put it on my shoulders. I climbed the mountain until I reached the top: from there, I hurled the stone on to the shining worm, crushing it.”

Sounds: rock sounds slowed 1200-1600%, my footsteps crunching on gravel, distorted harmonics from field recordings.

Panned across the soundfield using the Sennheiser AMBEO plug-in.

I was about 2 years of age too. So there is no translation… My word was “sabkobis”. Maybe the fist part “sab” is from saab??? “kobis” don’t know. That car must have made an impression :smiley:

really nice - you can hear the source instruments if you want, but they also sound very different here than their original purposes. the track sounds a bit like when you play a voice backwards, except it’s orchestral. puts me in mind of lou reed’s wild child: “what’s good, 'bout rain that falls up?” I also loved the waffling/wuffling sound of (what could be) umbrellas struggling to open in a drenching rain… antibanners I mean!! :slight_smile:

I really really love that photo project, how the found words and word-fragments are always on the edge, and the rest of the context drops away in focus, or is “just” juxtaposed because of your framing. this comes out in the sounds, sharps and fuzzes going in and out of focus and wavering left to right in unexpected ways, to draw the attention to some fragment which is then swapped out for the next. and you’re right, you have to have the pigeon: Surrealistic Pigeon! (remember Bert’s pigeon dance? “doin’ the (uh-uh) pigeon…”)

machines as almost-animals. great combo of noises-as-music and instruments-as-noise. enough of a beat, but interrupted by a drone (can one be interrupted by a drone?) love the changes of personality 3/4 way through, and again almost at the end, as a kind of coda. one has cause to wonder, once the umbrella and the sewing machine have stiched together their unlikely encounter, and before the vibrations have fully dispersed from the dissecting table — was all that indeed by chance? :slight_smile:

Samples used are from F.Fellini’s Toby Dammit (music Nino Rota) and
from the yellow vests (gilets jaunes) protests in France these days.
It was a windy night with lots of frustration and weird dreams.

that an acoustic guitar gloss on gymnopédie 1 could be dissonant with anything is a wonder :wink: but actually, now that I hear the combo — I wonder if waking to a kind of soft musical dissonance is maybe the best of both worlds? one for each ear: the dream-world and the waking-one :slight_smile:

Thanks :smiley: I have started to make the project harder and more interesting by only using words that are made out of other words - so ‘PEN’ came from a sign saying ‘OPEN’ , ‘TRY’ from ‘NO ENTRY’ and so on. I also only want there to be a single word per frame, which does make the shot framing quite tricky - it is a good constraint that has slowed me down, there have been loads of words I haven’t been able to use because I can’t get the framing how I need it to be! 'Bert’s pigeon dance is new to me! :smiley:

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:
