random sound cavalcade #46

here's a wee lo-fi-but-loving sampling of some sipping sounds from the 12th of january episode. in this scene, our comrade williwaw actively awaits the return of jamie bolland and rachel drury to the non-stage for a second set of subsequent trio action. in other words, this is intermission music. the footage is a bit of tomfoolery involving fred astaire and a faulty bicycle. behold, a broken chain melody.

full disclosure: this was all cobbled all-too-hastily together to mark the forty-sixth journey 'round the sun of craig abell-champion.

from the nineteenth day of the fourth month of, eh, let's just call it 2003, is this excerpt of a live sound-action battle between williwaw and the sound and fury known as chad robinson (who currently rocks bells for dark fog). like several recordings made at the esteemed candlestick maker (recently reopened as brown rice - love any/all references to Don Cherry), the recording was very quiet, until the sound and fury unleashed his batterie - reconstructing some semblance of balance was not wholly successful, but the wholly impromptu sound action is somewhat audible. this is the fifth of what has been called eight great indecisive moments. behold!

the return of the our very lives are being compressed series, ahoy!

as with previous parts of the series, something quite unexpected happened when every thought and action was placed into the smallest dynamic space - on, off, red, green - the compressed life; when we try to resurrect the soft amid the deafening din, things go awry. lame poetics aside, the source material of this excerpt is not a uke through numerous pedals, amps and blown speakers, but a comedy routine by a member of the Second City troupe, recorded without permission because bored hands are the devil's playthings. sadly, then, this is 'ukulele free, but amplified? oh, mercy!

back for more waveform wrangling, it's the second and last (truly, a short-lived project) mfsb reduction, this time the source was my mood.
