SELF PROMOTION / Re: Trivial Cataclysms

Thanks Stephen, it's one of the first tracks ever on which I play an instrument / not found sound, a bit self conscious here. Boost appreciated.

SELF PROMOTION / Trivial Cataclysms
« on: September 09, 2012, 09:41:52 am »
Allo all.
Up / incoming album "Trivial Cataclysms" will be released digitally, one sound piece at a time every Sunday until it's all out and about in the world, doing its own thing. Some of the pieces come from a study on the seemingly mundane and trivial nature of day to day activities and others will be composed pieces. Contrast, so to speak.
Anyhow, here goes the opener:
http://leberger.bandcamp.com/track/dishes-cleaning-stacking
Pitching in a few pennies / dollars /give me your cigarette boat even / is strongly encouraged. Trying to gather funds for upcoming physical releases.
See you next week!

Just went through four different interpretations / performances of the Kirwani Raag by either all or some of these guys: Hariprasad Chaurasia, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Zakir Hussein. Mind seriously blown in very many directions.

Ryan Connor / sublamp has built quite a few, I think he did it from scratch but could probably still give you a few pointers mate.

SELF PROMOTION / Now that's what I call drone (Vol. 1)
« on: July 24, 2012, 12:32:51 am »
"like all significant ideas throughout history, this started as a joke on twitter."
Need I say more?
A compilation of drone-ish remixes of top 40 pop songs, don't know how long it's gonna be before someone gives enough of a shit to ask the host to take it down on copyright grounds, but in the mean time it's a free download up for grabs.

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Re: Microphone specifics
« on: July 19, 2012, 05:11:12 pm »
I am interested, stereo technique and all.
It is mostly about capturing the resonance and reverberation of that specific room, its characteristics and get the same feeling as if you were standing around in different spots.
I could go the usual route and record a bunch of impulse responses in the room from different angles and then apply it towards the recorded choirs, less fuss. but at the same time, I really want the people performing to feel the room as they do it...
we'll see

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Microphone specifics
« on: July 03, 2012, 11:26:49 pm »
Hi guys, figure this is probably the best place to ask and since this is an area where I'm definitely out of my debt, all input welcome.
I want to record something in a very specific room and wonder about mic placement, which type of mics to use and especially if the equipment is likely to endure or be damaged by unusual environmental conditions.
The room is about 16-18 feet X 16-18 feet, square, 3 walls are made of ceramics and the last one is windows. The ceiling is an inverse diamond shape making the middle of the room narrower in height than its corners and sides. The material to be recorded will be solely human vocals (at least 8 different voices) coming from all sides of the room. Plus, the room is insanely damp and hot (if that matters? I assume water is somewhat a sound barrier...)
I'm all ears.

Summer has been pretty brutally hot here so far, so I sleep with the window open, and in the mornning there's a bird that has started to imitate and respond to my cell phone morning alarm. These days that is probably my favorite sound.

that's one very healthy breakfast you have there, reminds me when I was apple picking, this the type of stuff we'd do for breakfast.
my approach to cooking: use what feels right and transform in ways that feel right. probably not that different from music after all...
I'll post back with specifics when I do a specific meal, I <3 food threads!
