Claire Rousay's set at The Point (which is a church, mind you) was incredibly intimate, sad, introspective, but overall beautiful. Her setup was designed to resemble her bedroom, including a rather NSFW image of an adult actress (I had to laugh because I'm sure the church loved that). Each song sort of blended together in a big, sweeping wash of electronics and field recordings, including samples she took of audience members' voices in real time.

I wish I could have attended her Ableton workshop the next day, but it overlapped with other sets I wanted to catch. Regardless, for someone who admittedly wasn't too familiar with her work beforehand, I was impressed with what she's doing and especially how she's doing it. I mean, parts of her set had her just lounging on her bed looking at her phone, but every move was intentional. It was all meant to convey a certain mood to the audience, that mood being "I'm surviving depression and loneliness in front of the world".

A Derek Jarman film with music by Throbbing Gristle Derek Jarman used some of his 70s home movie footage to produce this wonderful piece of exploitational avantgarde cinema. Actually the original material has been slowed down to a speed of 3-6 frames, then Jarman added colour effects and the pulsating, menacing score by Industrial supergroup Throbbing Gristle The result is a piece of art not to dissimilar to Jarman’s painting work in using found footage as elements of memory and mind that resemble ideas reflected in the Cabala and in C.G. Jung`s writings about an archetypical past that is hidden in everyone of us. The first, In the Shadow of the Sun (1974-80), was originally put together by Jarman himself in 1974 from re-shot Super-8 material including footage from The Art of Mirrors and Journey to Avebury, amongst several others. The film was eventually blown-up to 35mm and premiered at the 1981 Berlin Film Festival. The focus on ritual, mysticism and obscure alchemical symbolism links it with the work of Anger. However, Jarman’s preference for the work of Carl Jung and the “white” magician John Dee, is quite distinct from Anger’s invocations of the “black” magician Alistair Crowley. – Jon Behrens

Extending the recent pagan theme, Ubuweb posts Derek Jarman’s determinedly occult and oneiric film, In the Shadow of the Sun (1980), notable for its soundtrack by Throbbing Gristle. This was the longest of Jarman’s films derived from Super-8 which he made throughout the 1970s between work as a production designer and his feature films. He never saw the low resolution, grain and scratches of Super-8 as a deficiency; on the contrary, for a painter it was a means to achieve with film stock some of the texture of painting. Michael O’Pray described the process and intent behind the film in Afterimage 12 (1985):

In 1973, Jarman shot the central sequences for his first lengthy film, and most ambitious to date, In the Shadow of the Sun, which in fact was not shown publicly until 1980, at the Berlin Film Festival. In the film he incorporated two early films, A Journey to Avebury a romantic landscape film, and The Magician (a.k.a. Tarot). The final sequences were shot on Fire Island in the following year. Fire Island survives as a separate film. In this period, Jarman had begun to express a mythology which he felt underpinned the film. He writes in Dancing Ledge of discovering “the key to the imagery that I had created quite unconsciously in the preceding months”, namely Jung’s Alchemical Studies and Seven Sermons to the Dead. He also states that these books “gave me the confidence to allow my dream-images to drift and collide at random”. The themes and ideas found in Jubilee, The Angelic Conversation, The Tempest and to some extent in Imagining October are powerfully distilled in In the Shadow of the Sun. Jarman’s obsession with the sun, fire and gold (which spilled over in the paintings he exhibited at the ICA in 1984) and an ancient mythology and poetics are compressed in In the Shadow of the Sun with its rich superimposition and painterly textures achieved through the degeneration “caused by the refilming of multiple images”. Jarman describes some of the ideas behind In the Shadow of the Sun:

“This is the way the Super-8s are structured from writing: the buried word-signs emphasize the fact that they convey a language. There is the image and the word, and the image of the word. The ‘poetry of fire’ relies on a treatment of word and object as equivalent: both are signs; both are luminous and opaque. The pleasure of Super-8 is the pleasure of seeing language put through the magic lantern.” Dancing Ledge p.129

Project : Disrupt

Week : 11th Dec - 15th Dec

Last week, I started painting a still image from my guitar smashing film. I wanted to finish up the project using a medium I’m comfortable with, so I used acrylic paint.

I wanted to capture the movement of the guitar right before it hits the ground, so I dragged the paint to make a blurred effect.

I plan on cutting around the figure of myself, and sticking it on a collage of album covers that I love, which support the energetic, angry feel of the painting.

One again at The Point, Ikue Mori and Fred Frith put on a very straightforward but highly enjoyable noise set together. It's wild to think about how the both of them have been on the cutting edge of experimental music longer than many of the audience members have been alive - hell, Ikue and my mom are almost the exact same age (their birthdays are the same year and only a month apart!). Their both in their 70s and still making music that's every bit as strange and challenging as they were making back in the day, if not more so.

Tables and tables of waves.

I gave up on Drezno/Jena as a wavetable voice once I learned that Piston Honda mk3 has the same external processing capabilities while hosting its own suite of additional features. Three body leaves the learning case for it and Daiko to enter.

That being said, it's not doing anything extra special in this patch - just acting as a normal thin digital oscillator, with a little morphing on the wavetables. It has a mix out through Ikarie droning and each individual osc enveloped through Data Bender, and Daiko provides percussion through Milky Way.

The real stars of the show are Tetrapad (Tete) and Quadrax, which are both such deep modules. Tetrapad is in combo mode supplying 1 LFO modulating Daiko (though tidbit mute switches), then 3 euclidian triggers - one for each channel of Taiko (1 on a straight 1/4 and 2 on a funky one, like 13/35), and another cleverly at 1/32 to act as a clock divider for Quadrax and Data Bender. Then I learned about internal triggering on Quadrax, where you can have a channel fire after the previous one's EoR of EoC - I'm using this to effectively get EoC triggers from channels 1 and 3 without the expander (I WILL pick one up, one of these days) to control a few other parameters.

All in all, a fun learning jam, but nothing too special. It honestly reminds me of some of my old recordings, with unison on PH3 sounding a lot like Telharmonic (but with a lot more range and controllability) - but ultimately it's dominated sonically by Data Bender.

Foley Sound Art 06/11/23

I had already previously done an introduction to Foley sound art on 27/10/23. But I decided to do it again, so I could get a more in depth understanding of how it works.

In the video above, me and my peers recreated sound for a scene from the animated tv show "Samurai Jack".

I really enjoyed making this. I felt I learnt so much, as trying to maintain the balance of creating the sound on cue while ensuring the sound fits whatever is going on in the scene is difficult.

I also have an idea I hope to create over the week, related to sound art, also another reason why I decided to do the workshop again.
