Other Audio Obscura
London Concrète [Disquiet0277]

I liked the idea of playing with the Musique concrète genre as its been an inspiration over the years. I took a few pre-existing tracks of mine and set about manipulating them. I have been making field recordings and a film sountrack around the Thames Estuary near London for a while and it feels like the edgelands where London starts and stops have inspired this piece.

Primarily I used my recent work of field recording 'A Grain of Sound' soundcloud.com/audio-obscura-m...-grain-of-sound as the source but also added other tracks including bits of my recent Ekkofolk remix

I then took various other bits of Audio - including a voice sample on commuting to London and obscured them and edited it all together in the manner suggested by the Disquiet Junto.

Disquiet Junto Project 0277: Chew Concrète
The Assignment: Make music inspired by C. Reider’s Chew Cinders album procedures.

Step 1: This week’s project is inspired by the manner in which C. Reider recorded his recent album, Chew Cinders (Midnight Circles). We aren’t remixing his album. We’re remixing/repurposing his approach to the album. You can check it out here:

midnightcircles.bandcamp.com/a...um/chew-cinders

Step 2: This instruction is adapted, with Reider’s input, from the manner in which he recorded the album:

Process a sequence of standalone “chunks” of pre-recorded sound — voice, field recordings, noise — with an emphasis on the manipulation of time and pitch. Speed things up, slow them down, and explore the opportunity to use cutup techniques. Pay particular attention to segues between the chunks.

Step 3: Make a piece of music inspired by the approach delineated in Step 2.
