Tuonela

Been sitting around for a while. Originally made for an anti-form compilation, volume 12. The Soundcloud player couldn't cope with the original track so this is my 2nd attempt at a gentler mix. Turned out more, er, melodic than I expected.

An unreleased track from 2015, remixed, enhanced and mercifully shortened.

Somaesthetic sentience by Tuonela

“The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.” ― William Gibson .......

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” ― Marcus Aurelius

My God, it's full of stars!" is a famous line from Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 novel 2001: A Space Odyssey (Chapter 39), uttered by astronaut David Bowman as he enters the alien monolith. While iconic, this exact phrase is notably absent from Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation, becoming a lasting point of discussion. Made for Naviar Records' 635th Haiku Challenge from some sonic bits and pieces.

"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions." - William Gibson

Back in the dark ages, my early copy of Audacity was set up - accidentally, incorrectly but fortuitously - so that audio recorded on it would go into a reverberation feedback loop, controlled by the volume input. I used it during the recording of an interview with William Basinski (whose monumental Disintegration Loops are about to be re-released) in 2013. This piece, recorded in full but unreleas...

“Here's the truth: people, even regular people, are never just any one person with one set of attributes. It's not that simple.

“No sound, once made, is ever truly lost. In electric clouds, all are safely trapped, and with a touch, if we find them, we can recapture those echoes of sad, forgotten wars, long summers, and sweet autumns.” ― Ray Bradbury

This is a remix of the ending of https://soundcloud.com/tuonela-1/eclectic-current-conspiracies, itself a remix. It uses some of https://soundcloud.com/plagueclock/cell-23, a bit of "Mis Noches Sin Ti" by Romualdo Correa Y Su Conjunto and a few sounds that I threw into the mix. I love the way that the old vinyl crackle finds its way to the top...
