Night sea journey. An archetypal motif in mythology, psychologically associated with depression and the loss of energy characteristic of neurosis. "The night sea journey is a kind of descensus ad inferos--a descent into Hades and a journey to the land of ghosts somewhere beyond this world, beyond consciousness, hence an immersion in the unconscious." [“The Psychology of the Transference,”CW16, par...

Tone construction 02 by Tuonela

Not sure if this fits the bill, but… A five beat rhythm track was created in Audacity, then multi-tracked and mixed with different pitches and effects and assigned to extreme left or right channels – with one mix being in “true” stereo and one dead centre in mono. A couple of mixes were placed to provide a counter-rhythm. I hope. A drone track was added in 2 octaves (one left, one right) as well a...

These are a few of my favourite things… Using old online e synths to create sounds (rather than music), in this case the Ancient Solfeggio Synthesizer I found in 2012. Then, putting the result into ambient v.3 software and improvising on it. Lots of reverb, always lots of reverb. Then, manipulating the original synth sounds in Audacity, using its simplified version of Paulstretch, copying and cutt...

Gone to the echo by Tuonela

By a strange bit of synchronicity (always sounds better than ‘coincidence’), I was already working on something inspired by this same concept. Very simple, just a short burst of sound culled from a work in progress, subjected to many passes through Audacity’s “Sliding Stretch” and further enhanced by modified sections of drone sourced from the stretched results. Some unexpected rhythmic pulses app...
