12K + LINE / motion
« on: March 03, 2013, 09:27:42 am »
this is a question to taylor:
i'm guessing you were in contact recently with chris coode regarding the digital re-release of "pictures" through 12k. i just wondered if you know the current state of his motion project, is it still active? could there be any new material in the future?
many thanks!

SELF PROMOTION / Miguel Izasa & Darren McClure - "Medsumoto"
« on: July 02, 2012, 09:04:14 am »
New collaborative work based on field recordings from Medellin, Colombia and Matsumoto, Japan.
http://impulsivehabitat.com/releases/ihab048.htm
Upon beginning this collaboration, we both decided to connect the respective sounds of Medellin and Matsumoto in the form of a narrative. We hoped to weave the sounds of our cities together and take a journey. Starting quietly, in nature, the listener would travel to ever more urban areas, more densely populated with people and sounds.
Both cities would relate, overlap and circle each order. Footsteps in Matsumoto would pass their counterparts in Medellin, crossing the stereo field. Japanese passengers embarking on
a train leaving Matsumoto station would blend into the chatter of Colombian voices. Through layering and stereo placement, the two cities could co-exist and complement each other.

12K + LINE / shop price typo! $1750.00
« on: February 15, 2012, 08:28:36 am »
just thought maybe taylor better check the price of the Stephan Mathieu + Caro Mikalef cd in the 12k shop. listed as $1750.00!!!
guess you misplaced the decimal point! and it actually comes up as that price using paypal, so someone might accidentally pay a fortune for the cd.
edit: applies only to the worldwide store.

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Waldorf Blofeld
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:18:12 pm »
hey guys, i'm looking at getting a new hardware synth, and have been researching the blofeld (either the module or keyboard, though the keyboard version looks good with sampling capabilities).
there aren't any stores nearby to actually check it out, so it's been internet research so far. but for the price it seems really good. and i've read it being compared to the nord lead and access virus.
anyone have any experience/advice? thanks.

SELF PROMOTION / Semi
« on: February 14, 2011, 09:54:29 pm »
hi guys, my new release on impulsive habitat is now available online.

Semi
DARREN McCLURE
IHab018
"Semi" is a recording of cicadas, made in late August in my garden. The summer had been
especially hot, and the sound of cicadas in the trees was really overpowering at times.
From absolute silence, their sounds would suddenly emerge and escalate, before returning
to silence again.
The recording is untreated, except for some filtering: the first few minutes have a high pass filter so that only the cicada sounds are allowed. Gradually, over the course of the recording, I filtered in the rest of the lower frequencies, so the street ambiance slowly bleeds in and the full sonic picture comes into view. During the final seven minutes, the cicadas cease to be heard and only that street ambiance remain.
>> Darren McClure
The sound produced by the male cicada to attract the female is so powerful that at some point it could cause hearing loss, anxiety, aggravation and high blood pressure; the sound is produced by a corrugated exoeskeletal structure called "tymbal". The sonority of the song of the cicadas has had an impact on many cultures for example in japanese cinema the sound of cicadas is often used to symbolize the hot temperatures of the summer.
The cicadas spend most of their life as underground living nymphs; finally when they reach
an adult age they dig an exit tunnel to emerge from the ground also leaving the shell that protected them during their metamorphosis. In Japan this process philosophically symbolizes a "re-birth". Cicadas also symbolize in Japanese culture "evanescence" referring to their short adult reproductive life.
