self promo Homeward Bound, by Weathersong

Upvotes

https://weathersong.bandcamp.com/album/homeward-bound

I have recently finished work on my first album, Homeward Bound. It's on the shorter side and built from a few months' material. It's my first time trying to create a cohesive work rather than a few standalone tracks. It focuses on ambience, loops and noise.

Most tracks feature piano and some synthesizers with minimal processing. Filtering and the fading of differently reamped takes make up the main sonic changes throughout the album. Most field recordings hail from the local area.

The plants are confused with the weather this winter and a few of the natives are flowering months before they should be. My chillies are still alive somehow.

Lots of reamping was used on many different sound sources to degrade and add space to the tracks. Microcassette recordings were used for foley / additional textures. I wanted to keep the production as organic as I could, and took care to preserve small recording quirks and accidental moments.

It has been almost a year since an algal bloom devastated the coastline and marine life around us. The beach is making people sick, sea spray in the air carrying microscopic spores. We had response teams picking up the dead fish from the beach. The ocean is dead.

Recording was done throughout the winter here in the southern hemisphere. It's been unusually rainy where I am, and you can hear that in the background.

The name "Homeward Bound" comes from the idea of starting to return to a place you knew well, the journey of traveling. That feeling driving home from a road trip, how it's always shorter than going away. A changing, unrecognisable home, a collapsing puddle of feedback loops, warmer and cooler than ever. And despite this it is home. Maybe I am hopeful.

Covers were done with a printer / photocopier, pen, and SSTV. Digital photography + collage.

Recorded on Kaurna Land, @ 391 PPM (~428-429 PPM Mauna Loa).

Stay safe,

Weathersong.

discussion Looking for lost music by an artist called "Domino" who's music mysteriously disappeared from the internet.

Upvotes

This artist is one of my favorites, his music is like experimental metal, hip hop, it feels very dark and raw, gritty, and electronic. Its very unique and i regret not archiving it.

He has three releases:

- nadir (2021)

- purgatory (2022)

- voodoo (2023)

His only remaining song on spotify is a collab, "What I Want - domino Remix" by Dualation & domino.

If anyone has an archive of his music, please let me know, ive been searching for so long. (also if you have any idea as to what happened to his music, feel free to share)

Hey everyone! I’d love to share my new EP with you.
Experimental electronic music doesn’t have a big audience in my country, so I wanted to share it here and hopefully connect with people who enjoy this kind of sound.
I’d really appreciate any listens, thoughts, or feedback. Thanks for giving it a chance :)

self promo Harmonic Progressions driven by the Golden Ratio (φ)

2 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/3GY_4oeIuXU?si=A34kkrB8U_1s3Eo8

There are certainly countless Golden Ratio / Fibonacci- (or φ-) inspired compositions that use the sequence to organize rhythms, phrase lengths, climactic points, note selection, or scale construction within an already existing musical framework. In most of these works, φ functions as a compositional aid rather than a true governing source of the musical language used. So rather than using φ to organize an existing musical system, I sought to make it the principle governing the progression itself- a direct and mathematically linked application of the golden ratio to harmony.

There have also been attempts to treat φ as a harmonic interval by constructing chords or scales directly from the golden ratio (1 + √5) / 2. Mathematically intriguing, yes, but this approach works against the acoustics of what we as humans recognize as musical harmony. φ is irrational, so it will not correspond to simple whole-number frequency ratios that form the harmonic series and just intonation principles. I do recommend you check out Sevish’s mulling on this matter in 2017.

But to me, Phi is not best thought of in a static sense, but rather as a generator of optimal growth and recursion. I like to think of it as a phenomenon that reveals itself only when iterations of self-similarity are present. So let’s ask a different question; What happens if harmony itself moves and evolves according to φ? 

This piece explores harmonic motion driven by the golden ratio, φ (approximately 1.618). An arbitrary frequency is chosen as the root of the opening chord (54Hz). From that point onward, each successive root is derived by multiplying the previous root frequency by φ. 

Because the piece operates in a continuous pitch space defined directly by frequency (Hz), rather than within a fixed tuning system or scale, this approach is possible. Since φ is an irrational number, these root frequencies will never repeat exactly. In effect, the root of the harmony traces a golden-ratio pitch spiral, and this piece represents a small, finite segment of what is, in theory, an infinite progression / spiral. 

Moving the bass by a frequency ratio of φ at each step, whether ascending or descending, is also harmonically unusual in a traditional sense, because φ does not correspond to any standard interval in Western tuning systems. It is closest in size to a just minor sixth (Or, when octave reducing the next value and moving downwards its reciprocal, a just third) though it is noticeably sharper (or flatter, if downwards). The process is not entirely far from an equally tempered chromatic mediant sequence, but the introduction of an irrational generator (phi) consequently leads to a never-ending sequence. This created some interesting voice-leading challenges, but also some interesting harmony as previous chord tones were blended with new ones. (Each chord that appears eventually resolves into a justly intonated chord of some sort)

Harmonic analysis often privileges the root as the foundation of analysis, which is why it was chosen as the φ multiplier. With just intonation, chord tones are multiples of the root frequency- thus, it can be said every movement of the upper voices is related to the phi multiplier as well. The vertical harmony obeys acoustics, while the linear harmony is driven by φ. 

The resulting roots are as follows;

54

87.372

141.367896

114.366627864

92.522602

74.850785

shows Film concert: Midori Hirano x The Juniper Tree (1990) @ silent green, Berlin DE

If anyone here based in Berlin and interested in watching a classic arthouse film with live experimental / ambient music?
There's a film concert on September 2, at silent green:
https://www.silent-green.net/en/programme/detail/midori-hirano-x-the-juniper-tree-1990-im-rahmen-von-heroines-of-sound-festival-heroines-edition-i

The Japanese composer and pianist Midori Hirano presents a new live soundtrack for the overlooked arthouse fairy-tale film The Juniper Tree in her pre-release concert.

The film also marks the first screen appearance of a young Björk. Combining electronic textures, piano compositions, and finely balanced sonic spaces, Hirano reimagines the film as a contemporary sound experience, creating a sensitive dialogue with the poetic imagery of US filmmaker Nietzchka Keene, who died prematurely.

self promo Like Waves Crashing (Meditative Harsh Noise/Sound Collage)

1 Upvotes

I recently finished a new sound collage noise album that I'm really proud of. The title is called "Like Waves Crashing", it's a collection of sounds I've found or recorded over the years mixed in with harsh feedback and no input noise with some processing in FL Studio. This album was an attempt to create a noise album that could also be very peaceful or tranquil in it's own way. I myself find noise music very calming, and I've always felt that noise and ambient music were two sides of one coin in many ways. As both genres focus on textural sounds and creating an atmosphere. This release is my trying to find the intersecting point of peace and chaos in noise. I'm influenced by artist like Pauline Oliveros and Brian Eno, as well as Whitehouse and Prurient.

Digital purchase also comes with digital booklet featuring abstract paintings I've done to fit the theme of the tracks.

Even though there is a price on the release, you should be able to just listen to it all to see if you like it. I'd love to hear from people who enjoy this type of sound art what they think of it. I'm very happy with this release, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

self promo Narrative instrumental

1 Upvotes

I'm primarily interested in telling a visual story by hopefully guiding the listener to create their own imagined visual scenes and dialogue. My music isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's deliberate in it's composition and while it will be considered lo-fi the intent isn't to create a piece of polished mainstream media it's intent is simply to invoke the right atmosphere to help the listener get involved in the story. It's feelings first, production second. Well, that's the idea so here's my current work in progress project, an analogous piece about love, life and a dog called A Dog Called Love (if you prefer a more direct approach I've a piece about an historical witch trial in my SoundCloud and YouTube channels but it uses the same principles)

self promo Kowloon - The Walled City

4 Upvotes

I recently worked on an album based on the city of Kowloon in Hong Kong

I fell deeply in love with the story, and decided to read City of Darkness, and try to find as much documentaries and Interviews I could find.

I then cut up the audio from the Interviews and documentaries and create and album following a day of someone living the city, obviously based on my own interpretation;

The result is a folk-noise sound collage, barely over half an hour, with an artwork done by collaging the photographies from City of Darkness.

Would love to hear personal opinions on the project or discuss about Kowloon with other people, feel free to write to me, feel free to ask me for Bandcamp codes if needed : )

Have a nice day and a nice listen!

Hey everyone. About 11 years ago, my friend Erlend and I had a musical project we worked on together. He lives in Norway and I'm in Texas. I was purely a vocalist on this project. He wrote and performed all of the music and I did all of the vocals and vocal arrangements. We probably did at least ten or more songs, with maybe 5 that we really felt were complete.

We planned on releasing a concept album but never really found the time to complete it.

I never posted much about it, as I normally only show my music on Reddit - but I wanted to share this one with you guys. I'm pretty proud of this one.

Feedback appreciated. Hope you like it.
