Doomsday The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans Atop the broken universal clock: The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens. Out painted stages fall apart by scenes While all the actors halt in mortal shock: The idiot bird leaps out and drunken leans. Streets crack through in havoc-split ravines As the doomstruck city crumbles block by block: The hour is crowed in lunatic thirteens. Fractured gla...

Art work: 'Magicians of Dreams' by Leszek Kostuj aka FrodoK

This is composed solely of musical recordings of variable quality that I made during a tour of southern Spain in 2023; a National Day event in the square in Madrid, a religious parade through the streets of in Granada, a Flamenco show in Seville and the organ (and ambience) of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I made a rough assembly last year, disliked it and left it. I’ve warmed to it, a bit – i...

I used the same recording I made in 2013. Multiple edited copies were stretched, pitch-changed, put through different types of reverb, reversed, cut-up and re-edited, all using Audacity effects and plugins. The Vocoder and Phaser got a look in too. ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it. Welcome to a new year of...

A long way from where we thought we were by Tuonela

Over an existing drone I had made from the “quiet” ambience of my house I added three slightly different versions of a stretched treatment of an electronic version of the opening bars of the theme from Star Trek: Voyager. Also added was a long stretch made from the tonic chord of the theme, pitched an octave down, for a bit of gravitas. ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment...

Its name engraved in iron letters by Tuonela

By chance (always a favourite way for things to happen), I was working on just such a drone, ie developing complexity and then relinquishing it, when this dropped. Based on a very old abandoned project using a recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra. Not sure what was done to it originally (alright, I can’t remember), this mix added some duplicated passages pitched down, stretched slightly and reposi...

The ancient and languid waters of the sea of death by Tuonela

Two simple drones, pitched the same, one evolving out of the other. The first is made from my own recording of a thunderclap during a Sydney rainstorm, the second from a recording of the ambience of my house when we are out and the animals are asleep.. Minimal and mercifully short. Headphones recommended. ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Make the quiet part loud, and...

Particle 44 by Tuonela

The source for this is a rather nice, minimal recording of [REDACTED]. Everything else is the work of the Devil, Paulstretch and assorted Audacity plugins and effects. PLAY LOUD! ---------------------------------------------- More at https://disquiet.com/0668/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto /

Alchemic reverie by Tuonela

Another witches’ brew of sound, lost and found. A drone track of uncertain origin mixed with a heavily mistreated recording of my dog howling, combined with three stretched and pitch-altered versions of a recording of brass sleigh bells treated with excessive amounts of delay and a few other Audacity plugins. Headphones suggested... ---------------------------------------------- More at https://di...
