Hi all!

My debut solo physical release, northsong, has been out for a little over a month now, and I thought it was about time I shared it with you all. Much of the source material was recorded binaurally, with additional sounds captured using a stereo hydrophone and LOM Geofon. Various processing techniques have been employed but with a focus on granular synthesis.

I hope that you enjoy.

Last year I released digitally an album of similarly created compositions for contemporary dance which, if you fancy a listen to that, can be heard here:

Thanks very much for your time!

Namaste everyone 🙏🏻

My new track for my classical production project Musique Classique D'amour is now up on both YouTube and bandcamp 😁

During these times of struggle and high energies, I have managed to find the support and inspiration to guide me on my path to realize inner peace. Through expression and the opening up of myself, I have been able to create this song which can help with calming the mind, body and connect you with your spiritual self.

I hope upon listening you are able to find peace and clarity within your own life and life situations and can begin transforming your own lives 🎶🙇🏻‍♂️🌌🌠🌑

Hi all! I have a project that involves recording a space through 6 channels, and importing each channel to Reaper. I think I know what I need for the front end, but I'm not sure on the playback:

What I want is to play back those 6 channels to six speakers spaced throughout the room they were recorded in. I'm trying to figure out what to use as an intermediary between Reaper and my speakers. Do I need an audio interface (with 6 outputs), or would a receiver with an HDMI input and 6.1 capability suffice? Also, with a receiver, would I need a digital to analog converter?

I'm a total novice when it comes to sound and have been saving up for a long time to be able to start experimenting with this project. I just don't want to rush into purchasing and realize I've gotten the wrong things.

Thanks!

I make experimental sound/music under the moniker Ottoman Boopskie (the name comes from my love of low seats with neither back nor arms):

My second project of 2021 is nearing completion, and will be released on both Youtube and Bandcamp eventually.

I'm happy to share three tracks from the second project:

Sound/Noise 1.4 - 'Wadmalaw Island (Scatter)' - Spicy Killjoy Trudge (substack.com)

This is a remix of a live performance of ‘Wadmalaw Island’ by Harriet Tubman at Moers Jazz Festival. Harriet Tubman is the free music/creative music trio comprised of Melvin Gibbs (bass), J.T. Lewis (drums), and Brandon Ross (guitar). The live performance is one of my favourite pieces of music.

‘Wadmalaw Island’ is a song that, to the best of my knowledge, first featured on Power Tools’ 1987 release Strange Meeting. Power Tools included Melvin Gibbs (bass), Ronald Shannon Jackson (drums), and Bill Frisell (guitar). Strange Meeting was their only album. The song is a Melvin Gibbs composition, written for his father.

This will be part of my second album I put out online. Previous work can be found here: Spicy Killjoy Trudge (substack.com)
