Today I had the pleasure of participating in the GET RHYTHM! event at the Powerhouse Museum, with Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky & Annie K. Kwon, Andrew Johnston & Ben Marks and Jon Drummond. I gave a presentation about the Sound a Day project, as well as Alias Frequencies and Memory Flows. The drinks afterwards were full of interesting conversation.

Sound a Day will be taking a break over the holiday period. I had hoped to continue it, but I’m moving house and will be without a studio and possibly internet over the next few weeks. Once things have settled down I’ll be back with more sounds.

Have a great new year!

The sound is of a toilet flushing, played backwards and slowed down, which is a technique often worth trying. The dynamics were enhanced with volume graphing in Wave Editor. I also got some interesting drones from the same recording which I might post later.

Chamber of Secrets could work well in an electroacoustic or musique concrète piece.

Jinnah’s is a crazy Pakistani restaurant in Dulwich Hill. Going there is always an adventure, but I wasn’t prepared for what greeted us when we arrived tonight.

SAD012 is a recording of the entrance at Jinnah’s. I made it using FiRe on my iPhone. I don’t know why the sound is so strange – possibly a faulty radio transmitter? Staff walked past apparently without noticing! I just wish there’d been a strobe light to go with it.

Btw, the (rather expensive) food was great when we last ate there about a year ago, but tonight was very disappointing. The food tasted old, the restaurant was empty and they’d replaced the previously warm lighting with a few cold white CFLs. This was sort of a farewell as we’re moving away from the area, but we won’t be missing Jinnah’s as much as we thought we would.

Sound a Day 011 – Korg Study 002 0:08 312 KB

One thing I like about the MS-20 is that you pick up where you left off. There’s no saving and recalling patches. Today’s sound is based on yesterday’s patch, but the input signal has been removed. The repeating notes are played by hand. The built-in ‘modulation generator’ or LFO is set to a descending sawtooth wave, influencing the oscillators and filters, while some envelope modulation gives the notes more presence.

A fairly simple sound, SAD011 could be used as either a one-off effect or a loop. It could also be good slowed down &/or backwards. I might play around with it some more…

Sound a Day 010 – Korg Study 001 0:25 998 KB

For several years I’ve had the idea of doing a collection of ‘Korg Studies’ – short pieces that explore a particular sound or technique on the Korg MS-20 synth (and also the Korg mini-KP Kaoss Pad). Here is as good a place as any to start.

KS001 demonstrates my usual technique of using an external input to drive the control voltages. In this case it’s a random song playing on my iPhone. There are two square wave oscillators an octave apart, their pitches mapped to the mod wheel. One is modulated by the amplitude and the other by the frequency of the incoming signal. The low-pass filter is also being heavily modulated. When the incoming sound hits a certain level it triggers the envelope generators, which have a percussive shape. Continuous tweaking of parameters is done to shape the sound into something interesting.

These are techniques that I’ve developed and refined over the past few years of working with the Splinter Orchestra. I was also very impressed by Asmus Tietchens‘ performance at Liquid Architecture this year, and I think his approach to the synthesiser may have influenced me recently.

Another Numerology piece. The voice is actually SAD003 played on Numerology’s built-in sampler, with lots of modulation going on. Strangely it sounds less like a computer and more like a real voice than before. The drums remind me of standup comedy, so I imagine this piece as a very odd comedy gig. I should add some audience sound fx, maybe the one I removed from SAD007. Anyway, some random piano, split into two tracks, rounds out the sound, adding some melodic interest and stereo movement.

Sound a Day 008 – Faustian Blur 1:52 4.28 MB

This one’s a sketch of a nice little ambient electronica tune, reminiscent perhaps of early IDM, such as Black Dog. I used to make a lot of this stuff back when I was in Clan Aanalogue, but in recent years, not so much. Which is a pity as I enjoy making tunes as much as weird shit.

Faustian Blur was made in Ableton Live Suite using three of the built-in instruments: a double bass, 606 drum kit, and an analogue synth pad. Variety is added to the simple bass and synth melodies via MIDI plugins which randomise their octaves. The velocity of the bass is also randomised slightly.

The title, a play on the term Gaussian blur, is, if nothing else, a Googlewhack.

SAD006 – TV Scrub 6:06 14.04MB

For several years my studio and lounge were the same room. The TV would be on most of the time, with the sound going through the computer, allowing me to process or capture it. It was often subjected to spectral/delay/FSU plugins for extended periods. TV’s more fun that way.

For today’s sound I decided to process some TV audio in a slightly different way, without plugins. I recorded a minute each of 11 different TV channels and brought them into Ableton Live as a series of loops. Follow actions in legato mode switch to the next clip every quarter note, so it’s effectively in 11/4 time.

Structurally it’s quite simple, going from 999 BPM down to 20, then back up to 999 again. The result is a kind of basic wavetable or granular synthesis. I’m annoyed that Live can’t loop clips without putting them in Warp mode, but the ‘Beats’ setting resulted in some interesting buffer effects.

I have to admit to having a thing for cutup and processed voices. They tickle my brain in ways that other sounds don’t. I’m sure there’ll be more of them in this series.

Recording storms is one of the most obvious things to do with a portable audio recorder – I’ve recorded plenty with my Edirol R-09. Listening back to a 30 minute recording that I’d made of an incredibly loud downpour outside my bathroom window, I noticed a section in the middle where the rain stops, and one can hear the sound of a cistern, then a loud thunderclap. It’s that moment that I’ve selected for today’s sound. A cistern? Well yes, I had just used the toilet. Cisterns can make amazing sounds – people should listen to them more closely.

Cistern Crash is best heard on headphones.

SAD004 – Collapso 4:07 9.9MB 120BPM

Numerology is a program that should be much better known. Imagine Ableton Live in which the emphasis on audio looping is replaced by step sequencing and generative composition. I love its extensive modulation and randomisation options which encourage experimentation.

Collapso is a minimal, ever-changing rhythm. It’s made of just a kick, hi-hat, and the ‘SynthTom’ patch on the LinPlug Free Alpha synth plugin. The tom has a short melodic sequence in Mixolydian mode, but the parameters of the sequence, including note probability and octave, are being continually modulated – you can see it running in the screenshot above. The hi-hats also have some randomisation, while the relatively simple kick helps give it momentum, emphasising the syncopation and bounciness of the tom.

I could listen to this do its thing all day, but should probably try to turn it into a finished track, with a few more sounds.

This is a text-to-speech rendering of John Forbes‘ wonderful poem, Ode to Tropical Skiing, which I understand was John Watermann’s favourite poem. I made this as an intro to a performance at a lovely night called ‘Warm Words, Music and Dirigibles‘, as I knew that the audience would be appreciative. That’s the only time I’ve used it, so I think it’s OK to include here.

To make it, I used a program called Vox Machina and one of the built-in Mac voices (‘Alex’) and did a lot of tweaking of punctuation to modify the rhythm and cadence. I’m not entirely happy with the result, though, so I’d love to get some suggestions of better speech synthesis tools.

SAD002 – Fuck Right Off 0:24 963Kb

Some of my earliest sound experiments involved grabbing bits of dialogue, music and sound effects from television using my trusty VHS recorder and creating collages of these sounds via pause button cassette edits on a ‘ghetto blaster’.

For the first few years of Wake Up and Listen, Adrian Bertram and I would each prepare a cassette full of such collages for every broadcast. We called these our ’samples’. Even after we bought actual samplers, we still kept making cassette collages for a few more years, as they had a unique sound.

SAD002 is the sort of ’sample’ that could well have been on one of those old collages. It’s a grab from the 1999 Trailer Park Boys film, in which the character of Patrick Lewis (played by Patrick Roach, who went on to play Randy in the TV series) makes a strong statement about his lifestyle. A good ’sample’ is texturally interesting and has an element of surprise. This has those.

Instead of a simple VHS to cassette dub, the process of making this file involved noting the timecode of the desired sample using Google Docs, importing the audio from the entire video file using Wave Editor, selecting the sample, then exporting it.

Btw, I’ve decided to change the format of these sounds to 320k MP3s as a compromise between quality and accessibility.

WIRED  O P E N  DAY on 31st October 2009 is your opportunity to GET WIRED in the great outdoors of The WIRED Lab.

WIRED  O P E N  DAY gives the general public the first opportunity to interact with the ‘wires’ and witness its vast array of creative applications.

Performing at WIRED  O P E N  DAY will be the original wire maestro Alan LAMB and his core crew of collaborators Dave NOYZE, Garry BRADBURY, Oren AMBARCHI and Robin FOX. Each artist will be presenting unique ruminations of the ‘wires’ sonic capacities. Dave NOYZE and Alan LAMB will perform live mixes of this dynamic instrument; Garry BRADBURY provides a live mix in the pitch of ‘B’ (also the pitch of Bees in chorus!) for a ‘great bow’ acoustic performance by Alan LAMB; Oren AMBARCHI treats the wires like a giant guitar and amplifier; and Robin FOX utilises wire sounds to control a laser beam across the surface of water.

Commencing in the late afternoon audiences will be bussed from Cootamundra to The WIRED Lab site for a multi-sensory experience of site and sound. From sunset to nightfall audiences will experience the immense dynamic range and capacity of a musical instrument spanning hundreds of metres across the landscape. Affectionately called “… nature’s microphone” by WIRED Lab curator Sarah LAST, the ‘wires’ and the WIRED  O P E N  DAY program expands many horizons, and will radically shift paradigms of art, music and space.

The WIRED Lab is a collaborative arts project uniquely located in the rural landscape of South West NSW. In 2007 The WIRED Lab was established to create a site for artists, scientists and audiences to expand upon æolian traditions, environmental sonification, ‘wire’ music and research originally developed by Alan Lamb. Since its inception many Australian and international artists have visited The WIRED Lab, their research continues, and October 31st is the first of many future open days.

MEDIA: For print resolution images and to arrange interviews please contact WIRED  O P E N  DAY Curator Sarah Last on (02) 69 436 222 or 0414 22 66 23.

The bi-annual Golden Eyes Festival of Media Arts has been held at UTS for over 20 years. This year it will also include a performance night showcasing the very active AV performance scene among undergrads, postgrads and staff at UTS.  Three groups of performers will be presenting on the night in the wonderful purpose built Bon Marche Studio at UTS with 9.1 sound and high resolution digital cinema projection. Performers will be: Emily McDaniel & Emma Ramsay, Roger Mills & Neil Jenkins as well as Nick Wishart & Miguel Valenzuela.

Entry to the Bon Marche Studio is on Harris St, Ultimo on the ground floor of UTS Building three. http://www.uts.edu.au/about/mapsdirections/citymap.html

8pm Tuesday the 20^th of October – The event is Free. Duration approx 80 mins.

—————————————————————————————————————

Emily McDaniel is an Aboriginal artist, curator and educator from the Wiradjuri Nation. Her work traverses performance, new media, film and sound installation. This year she has begun curating and coordinating Refraction, a UTS Media Arts performance night that encourages the next wave of artists to get amongst it. She is currently completing her BA in Media Arts and Production.

Emma Ramsay works across many platforms of art including sound, video and installation. She is a founding director of Sydney based ARI Quarterbred, that promotes cross disciplinary practice and developmental support for emerging artists. She is currently completing a Masters in Media Arts and Production.

Emma and Emily have been collaborating for over a year and have recently exhibited and performed at Electrofringe. Their practice tries to achieve a good feeling through sonic spirituality, by fusing installation with performance and lo-fi with hi-fi. Although they can be placed under the umbrella of new media, sometimes, they just like to leave the brolly at home. Golden Live will see the two of them collaborate with stunning visuals and epic sounds to create a cockle warming sound that will make the little hairs on your spine stand on end.

Alphabet Soup, is a new audio/visual performance by Nick Wishart + Miguel Valenzuela

Using a hacked Speak n Spell and other circuit bent alphabet toys, animations,a cube, some code and an asprin,  Nick & Miguel will attempt to reassemble language into a sonic & visual feast.

Think R2D2 on acid!

Texas Instruments released the Speak n Spell toy in the late 70’s and are now the holy grail for circuit benders. Containing one of the 1st commercially available speech chips, these wonderful toys can be retro fitted with a MIDI input kit allowing the phonetic sounds to be triggered by keyboards and sequencers.

Nick Wishart – Working in music, sound and multimedia his main area of artistic practice is in the development of Physical Interactive Systems. Combining his skills in electronics, tactiles, MIDI, interactive devices, audio production and circuit bending techniques, Nick creates interactive multi-media installations and circuit bent instruments that form the basis of the all toy band Toydeath.
