    One of the great ones.
    Way ahead of the pack on the baritone.

  • Saturday Drones

    by Spheruleus

    Saturday Drones is a longform piece of Ambient music, recorded and mixed on a particularly rainy Saturday. I began the track by playing electric guitar chords through reverb and delay effects pedals. I then played and recorded some additional guitar motifs by altering the tone and EQ on both the guitar and the amp. I recorded some eBow drones too and also, I leaned lightly into the bridge of the guitar to get a dampened sound and once all of these takes were recorded, I set about building and shaping these sounds into a longform droning piece. Some fragments were drenched in more reverb using VST laptop effects, others were given some tape decay processing whereas other sections of guitar were spliced to give a subtle dub feel.
    Additional tones of violin and piano were added quietly to the mix, adorned with the static noise of overlapping radio broadcasts.

    Arrived in my mailbox yesterday when it had been overcast and raining all day here in SE4. Appears to be working just as nicely on a sunny Sunday morning.

    Longue distance is an acousmatic piece designed and realized in 4 channels (a stereo version is also available).
    The material consists of synthetic electronic sounds made with the Max or Pure Data software. These are mainly harmonic or inharmonic drones that gradually change. The second major sound category is composed of moments of piano transformed in real time extracted from a recording of a musical radio creation broadcast on France Musique channel. Longue distance evokes wide perspectives; those that let glimpse and imagine the very far of the landscape. The progressive mutations of the electronic sounds and the fog of the effects, which surround the piano, indicate an itinerary which is prolonged and whose long distance leads to an attitude of floating daydream. The quadraphonic space is thought to reinforce the immersion effect, which would be that of the imaginary of great spaces.

  • Yesterday evening there was a memorial concert for the late Kim Larsen with about 1.4 million viewers on television (out of 6 million), 35000 attending the event on the city hall square in Copenhagen and transmitted to big screens in all major cities in Denmark.

    Up until now I had no idea as to  how much impact Kim had on the lives of just about all Danish citizens.


    Like a touch of a drop
    we were allowed to hope
    on the things to come
    before life is over
