HowieBass Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Are you going to extend the piece? I think it deserves to be longer! Had a look at your signature and I can see why you like Basinski - I've only just discovered his work recently, I like 'Aurora Liminalis' the joint piece he's done with Richard Chartier (joked on my Tumblr that I might mischievously play that loud at say 3am and have my neighbours thinking they'd woken up in Hell after some apocalyptic disaster... ). You'll probably like this too, a film by Bill Morrison with music by Michael Gordon... http://youtu.be/cf9ah8IUVgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film clip is only short, but I'm planning to loop it and use all the music, the track I've used it about 8 minutes long in total. I love that track you've posted a link too, brilliant ! Yeah, I have Aurora, I've got pretty much everything of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Another one. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBMQBfwRkOw"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBMQBfwRkOw[/url] The background noise and glitches are deliberate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm putting my arts hat on now to ask you about your work - you've probably gone through this with any crits you've already had but is your work about loss and/or injustice? There's clearly a very human element regarding the subject matter and the music is devoid of the human voice (which you could take as significant by its absence... ). You'll have seen Koyaanisqatsi but have you seen Ron Fricke's 'Baraka' and 'Samsara'? Fricke has created some really amazing work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the images for the music, I just spent ages over the last week listening to it with my eyes closed, making notes afterwards about the images that came to mind, then searched the internet looking for film. It's something I'd like to develop more, I'd like to get involved with a film maker too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I did some stuff last year using still images, that were set to some earlier music that I recorded that was midi based, but still using the effected and distorted sounds. That progressed into this, which is all just my Q6 bass, effected out of recognition, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Very nice indeed! Keep them coming. PS: [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]'Baraka' as mentioned above is well worth viewing. I watched it on the big screen at Glastonbury one year... amazing.[/color][/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
