#sound
Unconventional instruments' sounds created with prongs, wires, and bolts, conjure images of a door locking, a person running, or an animal being chased. Uncertainty has never sounded so good.

It's technical, too bad the guy does not express much of a musical ear.

Samples are done with an old turntable with an elastic band and some other stuff under the records to make irregular playing surfaces.
Etheric Body incorporates a computer overlayer mix.
Editing Process :
To produce this collection, Goff blended many of his own original recordings with Ed’s source materials. Goff also modified Ed’s source materials in many ways. Simple digital effects altered source track sounds and/or speeds. Some source tracks were played on a keyboard directly through the inputs of a Korg Vocoder. On one piece, a single rhythmic source phrase was modified in a number of ways, then the various modified phrases were linked together into a chain. Some source tracks were converted to MIDI files, then the resulting tracks were altered to showcase a variety of MIDI sounds. Some edits were recorded onto a 4 track cassette tape and remixed manually into digital files.
Below the surface :
We talked a lot about the symbolic elements before Goff upgrade it.
About Salvador Salvandus concept you will discover yourself an answer if you translate the fifth track title.
It seems one big problem in this world is about on one side the self proclamated saviors, kind of people often thinking that there is only one solution : their solution... and on the other side the savior worshipers, kind of people often thinking it's more safe to be save by someone else than to do it themselves...
For me both are wrong. Of course, people with a little psychological skills know that the "hand seeking help", is more trying to drag down someone else to feel less low. Sameway that the "helping hand" is more trying to steal the benefit of the salvation. Obviously the savior can't save and the savior seeker can't be save.
Both being blinded because too much self centered. In this problem there is not only two subjects but three and this third one is the world itself, and the world, this wide network of living beings brings a real solution if you are able to listen it. You get the process and knows how to act toward to solve it till you are able to feel these connections and understand how to set your mind.
Hard to explain fully in few words roughly translate that's why I prefer let the music talk.
Above the surface :
It took me several listening before to get it, Salvador Salvandus is the kind of album you can often go back to and slowly become a familliar presence as well as that shadow behind you can be. For me it's an important step in rADio eNd study of how a kind of soul can be reveal thru the transformation of the sound material. That's why I'm so happy Goff share his editing process. And I hope you will be as joyfull than me that he brings this music to life.

Space Oddity: the weird history of the #Soviet ANS synthesizer
The sound of Tarkovsky's #Solaris, The Mirror and #Stalker was generated by a strange machine that created sounds with drawings.
Never in all of your reading, all of your listening, all of your Wikiholes and long benders on the YouTube algorithm will you come across a machine more mysterious than the Soviet-engineered #ANSsynthesizer.
Few have played it. Few can even understand how it works — how etching pictures on a sheet of glass takes the place of the knobs and piano keys of future #synthesizers in creating these unearthly sounds emanating from the heart of a mainframe of steel and sensors.
Scarcity and the development of DAWs means few people who have created music with the sound palette of the TR-808 have actually touched or even seen one in real life. But the #ANS sits all alone on its high, esoteric plateau. Only two have ever been created, and only one has existed at any given time since it was dreamed up by its inventor nearly a century ago. It took more than a decade for him to create the first one — and then despaired that the machine would ever be properly utilized by the right composer.
That musician was eventually found, however — and the ANS would be used to compose the #score for three of the most acclaimed films in cinematic history. No actor or artist’s reputation ever suffered from a direct association with the films of Andrei #Tarkovsky, and the role of the @synthesizer in creating the “mass of #sound” in some of the most hermetic films ever made added a whole new dimension to the mystique of the ANS machine too.

Yuri Suzuki designs Sonic Bloom to connect people with the sounds of London
Sound artist and designer Yuri Suzuki has created Sonic Bloom, an interactive installation in London featuring a cluster of colourful horn-shaped speaking tubes through which people can communicate.
Sonic Bloom is a network of red, yellow and blue horns that are arranged in a formation that resembles a blooming flower – hence the installation's name.
The installation is in London's Brown Hart Gardens
Curated by Alter-Projects, each of Sonic Bloom's horns is a speaking tube, meaning that people can communicate with each other through the horns' interconnected tubes as well as listen to the sounds that they pick up and amplify.
Some of the horns face upward to catch the general sounds of the city.
The installation opens to the public today at Brown Hart Gardens in London's Mayfair area – close to the city's Oxford Street shopping district – where it will remain for 12 months.
Horn-shaped speaking tubes make up the sculpture
Suzuki, who is a partner at design firm Pentagram's London office, explained the thinking behind Sonic Bloom's primary colour palette, which he described as his favourite colours.
"I chose primary colours because I am dyslexic and they help with reading," the designer said. "With these clear divisions, people can easily identify the passage of sound."
"Primary colours also will fit very well into any landscape," Suzuki told Dezeen. "I have created sculptures in public realms before and primary colours do not conflict with landscapes and environments."
Some of the horns face the sky to capture the sounds of the city
The installation's layout features seats and horns at varying levels to ensure that people of all ages are invited to interact with the sculpture. Suzuki described this as an important aspect of the work.
"I personally think just a statue standing in public realms does not give enough function to the community," the designer explained. "If people actively use it, then public art has a meaning."
Sonic Bloom is painted in primary colours
Sonic Bloom also features a digital element for those unable to travel to its site in London.
Users' voices will be recorded and transformed into flower animations, which will eventually be shared on a website for people across the world to click and listen to.
Devised before the coronavirus pandemic, Alter-Projects founder Anne-Laure Pingreoun described how the urgency of Sonic Bloom's message has been enhanced by the isolation caused by national lockdowns.
"We strongly believe that art and design can change cities, spaces and minds alike," Pingreoun explained.
"Nowadays, especially after covid, it is more important than ever that cities are filled with art, as culture is a powerful tool to regenerate areas and commerce."
The project aims to reconnect people after national lockdowns
The installation was designed so that it can be dismantled and easily reassembled in other locations to avoid waste. Alter-Projects also took the coronavirus pandemic into consideration when developing the final design.
"We had security in mind during the entire process, and wanted to make sure it was as Covid-proof as possible," Pingreoun said.
"We decided to use anti-bacterial paint, made sure the seats were securely distanced, and [property group] Grosvenor will be cleaning it regularly."
Everyone is invited to interact with the work
"Obviously, this sculpture could help to shorten the distance of communication between people, but at the same time, it could be positioned as a communication centre to help people slowly go back to pre-covid methods of communication," concluded Suzuki.
Suzuki is a Japanese sound artist and designer. In 2018, he created Sonic Playground, a collection of colourful sound-modifying sculptures for the High Museum of Art Atlanta in America.
Alter-Projects is a multidisciplinary curatorial agency founded by Pingreoun in 2015. The collective recently exhibited another sensory installation at the London Design Biennale.

Sonic Bloom is on show at Brown Hart Gardens in London from 23 August for 12 months. SeeDezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.

Liebe extraterrestrisch #Mitwesen,
vor über 50 Jahren, da hattet ihr noch #Stil! Da tauchtet ihr mit eleganten schwarzen #Monoliten auf, an Stellen welche durchaus spektakulär waren und begleitet von mitreißender, bombastisch orchestraler Musik!
Und heute?
Blauweiße #Plastikdinger mit Schriftzeichen welche an eine Musikrichtung erinnern, auf irgend einem #Feld in #Ostwestfalen #Lippe mit dem #Sound von #Pfürzen.
Ich bitte euch: #OWL?!? Da müsst ihr aber noch ein wenig dran schrauben.
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=dfe8tCcHnKY
Bleibt senkrecht und gesund!
Starting to notice sound issues. Classic GNU/Linux issue. I believe that that's what's causing the sudden freezes now and then.
Any suggestions on what to have a closer look at? Have been trying to fix #Pulseaudio and #ALSA, and ensuring the correct output device is used.
