After a couple of weeks dealing with the funk (the respiratory type, not the P-type) things are getting swinging again around here. After taking stock of the scraps, bits and itchy snippets scattered about Shabby Road, I find the following projects shaping up:
- A series of dronescapes laced with minimal glitchiness, using a lot of FM synthesis.
- Another series of abstract peices sourced entirely from sounds taken from spaceflight – from the typical magnetosphere-based ambiences to extreme twisting and warping of radio communications and the sounds of large rocket motors doing their thing.
- A related piece to the above concepts involving multimedia, perhaps music + a multi-part peice of fiction mediated and presented via WP involving the existential angst of a spacecraft’s AI. Possibilities for collaboration abound.
- An esoteric exploration of a very famous rock record from 1971 that I won’t name here. Hopefully Hippocamp won’t beat me to this one before I can get it out.
- A strange smattering of peices involving the chance meetings of guitar, physical modeling synthesis and convolution reverb.
- All the while, I have some finished pieces floating around that sound a little like this one (called Uphill) that I completed for Andrew Duke’s project over at mnml.nl that I’ve mentioned before, and this one (Little Fingers On The Triggers, featuring Ryne on processed vox) submitted for consideration for a comp for Experimedia.
All of these are in the pipeline to receive release, but the exact methods thereof are yet to be determined. I will likely shop at least a couple of these around for label release, some for net.labels, and some just available here. I would like to get myself to settle down and provide some posts dealing with practical techniques and experiments, and possibly some further group remixing projects. In the meantime, I’ve got a new episode of the podcast completed – but I’m going to make you wait until this weekend to hear it.
Okay, back to work…
