Recording Eight

[Download: audio]

Here’s a new track. I rushed through it last night. I’m experimenting with the generative audio equivalent of the literary cut-up technique. Did it by hand though, as I’m not as capable as I want to be with coding music. I developed the logic but couldn’t figure out where to begin with coding it, I gonna look into creating Audio Unit plugins, that’s probably what I need.

In the meantime enjoy Recording Eight, it features 74 seconds of audio from a 21 minute recording I made this summer, probably while drunk. I don’t know why I choose the segments I did, I sped through and choose what sounded cool.

In the Evening


Here’s a spooky little number I composed over Halloween.

FreqOut

[Download]

Update 2020/03/11, made a new visualization. [Download]

I made this one completely from scratch in Audacity. I generated the tones, spliced them together, and also made Shepard tones from scratch.

I haven’t been making these in a while. Here’s one I created…I don’t know when, a while back. Originally known as Frequency Out because it was a mixed down backtrack of a larger project that I never got around to completing. FreqOut made me snigger, so that’s what I went with.

Feel free to use it in your project if it fits, or just listen to it in the background while you paint, or meditate or write, or whatever. It should stay out of your way enough to concentrate, while challenging you enough that you don’t fall asleep.

Ceiling Fan

[Download: audio]

The percussive thud isn’t from the fan, it’s the heartbeat of my soon to be born niece or nephew.

The download link above is for the audio (m4a) which I sent out for my podcast (I couldn’t justify hitting my subscribers with a large video podcast). The original audio and video | the new video, as part of my Video Compilation.

Communion

Introduction

Dronecast Episode 19

Main Content

“Stop! You must curtail your bizarre behavior,”
says the man with the stick,
“You really must,” he says
adjusting his hat.

But, he’s not talking to me,
he’s talking to the creature we become—
in the stretch back to the first realm.

“Adjust behavior and commiserate elsewhere,”
says the fat man
“You really must,” he says
poking the creature’s chest.

The creature, call us Communion,
howls indignant turns back to the wall—
string dangling from our slippery hands.

“Non-compliance is unacceptable,”
shouts the rigid man,
“Unacceptable and you must stop,” he shouts
and we pay em no mind

We are disconnected from that world,
there is only blood here and glue and string—
this creation nothing else.
