Even ghosts take drugs by Tuonela

Unpublished thing from 2013. Can't recall what C2 was or if it was ever understood. Edit: Okay, it was a track from this album: https://archive.org/details/tn038 by Adrià Bofarull & Joan Saura, originally used in an early disquiet junto piece

I was going to sit this one out. Then I wondered what the image would sound like imported as raw data into Audacity. Great blasts of white noise static, no surprise there. About to delete it, I put it through multiple layers of full reverb on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to hear it transform into a huge, bell-like drone which seemed to crawl around inside itself. I tried importing the image...

Being way out of touch and not having any idea what gabber was, I took a crash course. Turns out to be good ol’ hardcore techno! Can’t say it ever did much for me, but that’s probably just an age thing. Our own https://soundcloud.com/lityk has even been generous enough to use some of my sounds in his work, like this one: https://soundcloud.com/lityk/dronebrute and an earlier one which even came ou...

No thanks, I’ll bury it here by Tuonela

Never, ever read the instructions first.

The chord was converted directly to a wav file, stretched and edited into a three-minute loopable drone. The chord was treated (gently) in ambient v.3 and the result was sprinkled over the drone in various stages of reverb and enhancement. The title is 2 anagrams of ‘Cage drone’. Not sure why… ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Riff on a chord by John Cage. Step 1: Cons...

The numinous way by Tuonela

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...

Particulate matter by Tuonela

Made for Naviar Records' 442nd Haiku Challenge. See https://www.naviarrecords.com/2022/06/22/naviarhaiku442-eruption-of-light/

Made from a six second DTMF tone generated in Audacity. All mistakes, glitches, accidents, indecisions, twists of fate, acts of karma and signs from the Universe have been retained.

Sought in forsaken places by Tuonela

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...
