Eine wunderschöne Idee des Architekten Nikola Bašić, der an der kroatischen Adria eine Meeresorgel gebaut hat, die durch Wellenbewegungen des Wassers Töne und in der Summe Melodien spielt. Können wir das vielleicht überall haben?

„Constructed in 2005, the acoustic jetty spans some 230 feet (70 meters) and incorporates 35 polyethylene tubes of varying diameter. As waves flood each tube underwater, displaced air is forced through large whistles tuned to play seven chords of five tones. Day in and day out, music seems to emanate from the ground, a playful interplay between nature and design. Listening to the video above, the sound is somewhat like random chords played by a huge calliope.“

Download: Foo Fighters – Saint Cecilia EP

23. November 2015 um 10:23 Uhr von Ronny

Die Foo Fighters stellen ihre neue EP zum kostenlosen Downlaod zur Verfügung. Das Geld, welch ein Kauf desselbigen gekostet hätte, soll lieber gespendet werden.

Tonight, Let me begin with a preface to a letter I wrote a few weeks ago from my hotel room in Berlin while on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13th, as this project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems…

„The Saint Cecilia EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music. The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us.

Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away.

To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done.“

Schallplatten aus der CNC-Fräse: Shades of Grain

Christian hat mit ein paar Leuten ihre Musik mit einer CNC-Fräse auf alte Schallplatten geschnitten: Shades of Grain. Ich wusste nicht, dass so etwas überhaupt möglich ist, dem scheint aber so. Das Ergebnis ist neuer Drone-Ambient auf altem Platten und klingt gar nicht mal so übel.

Shades of Grain is an audiovisual performance using cnc machined phonograph records and high contrast monochrome projections.
Grinding drone and noise soundscapes meet grainy black and white visuals.
It´s to be showcased on an oversized rig with a massive low end to make it a physonical experience. The projections have to be strong and bright!

Shades of Grain is a cooperation between the Berlin based design and art studios
The Constitute and Pfadfinderei.

Und weiter:

The Droneplates have been cnc machined out of various materials. There are two different types of plates: loops and tunes. The loops repeat a certain noisey beat into a deep and mesmerizing mood. The longer the loop runs, the grainier it gets through the abrasion of the material. The tunes have been made possible with the laser cut records framework from Amanda Ghassaei. By these wonderful bits of code we were able to transform wav. files in spiral vector curves to cnc route them in the next step. We used laser cutters and milling machines to explore the sonic capabilities of different processes and materials. Though many approaches failed, a few of them came out really well and have been included in the live set that we played on the 3rd of october as support act for The Bug. Which was a great honour and a strong lesson in how to set up a massive drone piece. The promoters of the festival set up two massive rig towers that made the performance pure physical joy.

November Me vs December Me

22. November 2015 um 21:11 Uhr von Ronny

Ich mag den Herbst nicht sonderlich, aber noch weniger mag ich den Winter. Wenn alle den ersten Schnee des Jahres bejubeln, denke ich, „Reicht jetzt aber auch mit Winter!“. Aber ich mache die meteorologischen Regeln nicht – das ist dann halt so.

Nun, wo der Herbst langsam aber sicher in den Winter wechselt, ist es wieder soweit.
