Process notes

– 4 tracks of my voice, originally recorded on 29 Oct 2005, processed with Ableton Live and plugins by encoder audio. Melda, iZotope Ozone 9 and Ableton native devices.
– I’m very slowly working on an album using my voice as source material. This was something initiated with Disquiet 0548 called “Prelude In Preparation” & continued on the more recent Disquiet 0603 in “Contagium.” I’ve also released a track named “Forgot” for a Magpie Pirates compilation called Memory, Reflections under the Yeast With Teeth name too.

This original version of “Across The Idlewild Marshes” was submitted as part of ​naviarhaiku498 – Long days and warm nights. It is based on this haiku by TreniseFerreira – https://twitter.com/TreniseFerreira.

Long days and warm nights
Laughter carried through the breeze
Summer sings to us

I also used as inspiration some of the artwork here – https://ift.tt/C0A12KF.

The title was inspired by a section in the book “Hidden Waters Of New York City” by Sergey Kadinsky.

Process notes
– I didn’t want to be too specific on this one over and above the words “animated” and “suspension.” Leaving lots of space, using high-pass filtering and then contrasting by adding some lower stuff about midway gave me the impression of floating germs – or perhaps nuclear fallout!
– 3 tracks of my voice, originally recorded on 29 Oct 2005, processed with Ableton Live and Puremagnetik’s Sphine.

“49 Nudes & 6 Dogs In Church Arouse Cops” by Don’t Touch Loretta

The piece might match the form of Beethoven’s Sixth “Pastoral” Symphony using mostly sculpted noise.

This original version of “49 Nudes & 6 Dogs In Church Arouse Cops” was submitted as part of Disquiet Junto Project 0601: Hard Six The Assignment: Let a roll of the dice determine the relative prominence of various parts of a track.

6-sided die rolls were 5, 2, 5, 2, 5, 1. These numbers helped determine the amounts of echo, warp flux, delay, echo offset, EQ freq, limiter ceiling & reverb for each track with 5/6 being highest and 1/6 being lowest. These numbers also determined freqency of occurance in the track as a whole.

I used the following for the original recordings – three takes, one of backyard ambience, one adding xylophone and one primarily using my voice.

“Hurricane Built For Two” by Three Nuts In (Disquiet600)

Recorded, mixed & mastered 01-02 Jul 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. Reworking samples provided by Marcus Fischer.

Process notes –

For this piece, I used an Ableton Live template that I developed for an ongoing (and similar) project with others in Sarah Belle Reid’s Patreon community that we started in Sept 2022. Essentially, it is a way to process samples and then re-process the resampled material. My template also gives me enough flexibility to add/remove elements. For me, it’s just a starting point from which I can grow sample-based materials in a generative manner.

Marcus provided 7 samples for this project but I only used 4 of them.

Sample names –
1 – 600_walking-mfischer
2 – 600_nacre_voit-mfischer
3 – 600_hands_held-mfischer
4 – 600_no_input_matrix_mixer-mfischer

The first three samples were put into my template/devices to pull slices using MIDI files as triggers which were arranged to add randomness to which slice was chosen as well as velocity and probability.

The template channels as used here contain a sampler with some distorted or delay elements added. The resampled results of these were then run through devices that would add some ambience and resonance as well as sample-warp algoriths from Live.

The 4th was only processed by Ableton warp algorithms but per instructions, the piece starts & ends with an unaltered 2 seconds from this sample.

The Money Helps Everything Go Away by Smile Puppy

Recorded & mixed Jun 25 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Process notes – for this, I started with the template – the sounds – from a Smile Puppy track I did for Junto #0546 and used musical elements from a November 5, 2005 FL Studio fragment named “Spunker.”

I converted the FL Studio tracks to audio – my voice, a Moog sample and some drums – and then further converted that to MIDI melody or drums within Live. From there I started to pare back my elements and made a quick arrangement after letting it sit for a few hours.

“A Vacuumed Floor Will Just Get Dirty Again” by Yeast With Teeth

Conceived, recorded, mixed & mastered 19 Jun 2023 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, outdoors. Includes a recording from 29 Oct 2005.

Process notes –

The sample I used here is my voice and was recorded on 29 Oct 2005. I loaded this into sEGments by Elliott Garage as a plugin within AUM. I also opened up a live mic, split between two channels. This was one of four recordings I have made like this in the past few days. Then I imported the four channel/tracks I recorded into Ableton Live for the final mix. Four tracks total.

More about the AUM session – On the same channel as sEGments, I used Audiodamage Other Desert Cities. The slices in sEGments were triggered by Corne Driesprong’s polybeat via MF Randomizer and Rozeta Scaler (F Minor Pentatonic, not that it really matters here). Other parameters throughout the session were controlled by 6 LFOs in Achilleas Sourlas mLFO.
One mic was going through Audiothing’s Crusher & Mantis and the other mic through Alexey Nadzharov’s soundfruuze and Bleass’ Delay. I also grabbed a live mix track of all of the above which was going through Audiothing’s Bubbles.

Ableton Live – Kilohearts dual delay, Ableton Spectral Resonator, Max for Live Color, K-Devices Shaper 2.

This is a live mix done in AUM of a generative piece, edited down to 2 and a half minutes. This was performed in the backyard with percussion along with a track of AudioKit VHS Synth and a track of AudioKit Digitalism 2000.

Photo taken possibly in May or June, 2013 near Berner Middle School, Massapequa, NY, USA. Some of the photos on that roll look as early as 2009, so I am not sure.

This is a live mix done in AUM of a generative piece, edited down to three minutes. This was performed in the backyard with percussion – a table, a metal box, a shaker – and a friction mallet along with a track of SpaceCraft and another track of mood.
