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...

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.

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...

Now you tell me by Tuonela

Based on recording of an anxious rehomed cocker spaniel awaiting our return and howling the place down... her name is Tully. We’ve had her for five days. She is still very anxious about the huge change in her life. This recording was made because I was curious to see if she howled when we went out for an hour or so without her. A big “yes”. I was going to do something a little more adventurous/int...
