Auditions Listening Notes + Sound, Nick Lands Meltdown and Binaural Frequencies

Objects
Technologies
Smaller space
Sharp

Feed me data-man in flat cap whistling – cluh ching – tills whistles, bleeps, plastic bags whispering to people – fridge hums – resonance – warmth – bass – denseness

Cash machine
Plastic bag – silver
Universe of sound
Gradual envelope (bass)

Cash register
Silvery sounds
Rustling bags
Sheets of sound
Electrical whirring noise
Reminds me of plane engines
Takes over the space



Background
Enclosed space
Not an empty room
Inside
Reverb
Conversation (not clear)

Breath
Cutlery clinking
Chairs on floor
“no it’s not”
accident with trestle table
laughing
voices knit together
nothing rises to the surface
space created by the sound is leaden  - - maybe warm, enclosed!?!
The recorder signs off with a thud
Speech is a pattern not a series of words
Sound has no pace, it just is
We can’t hear the listening yet

Public private / private
Becoming a part / / intruding
Active
Being aware.
Feed me data 1 – airy.  – moving air. -  rushes of doors, peoples breath. Soft Floors.

Harsh sounding voices-  felt acoustic and fragile. A fragile building.
Visualize.
Bees
Beehives
Wings
Buzzes, etc
Feverish activity of sounds

KNIT

Background to foreground

“can’t hear the person listening”
“oh! Ouch!”

“Hmmm, hmm”

“I literally”

Auditions Notes chop up X Arch Carrier (short) by V1V1AN

listened to Nick Lands Meltdown this morning... lead to this... I'm very interested in taking the life out of voice - voco-mortism...so I just copied our notes into a reader and set them against Arch Carrier by Autechre - something to do with mirroring the cold flatness of the sonic world we dont hear ( due to our natural aural bias, aural acutism), part of getting to the cold mic... there are lots of surprisingly impersonal and hostile adjectives in our notes, so autechre seemed like a natural option for sonically conjuring our barren present...

edit - binaural sounds and the 'science' behind it is quite interesting too.... sort of tags on from my post on vocalities about Sirens

---------------- What are theta brainwaves? ---------------

Theta brainwaves are considered extremely relaxing brainwave activity that is commonly associated with sleep and dreaming. Theta brainwaves are high in amplitude and cycle within the range of 4 -- 8 Hz and are usually generated in the brains right hemisphere. Theta waves kick in when we feel emotional, relaxed, daydreamy, unfocused, or are asleep. Theta brainwaves are generally thought of as the brainwaves that are dominant in people with A.D.D., high levels of relaxation, high levels of creativity, and random thinking. The theta brainwave is considered the brainwave pattern that is dominant in deeply relaxed, dream sleep.

Theta brain waves typically range from 4 Hz to 8 Hz. Theta brain waves are associated with the "subconscious mind" and are usually produced in the right-hemisphere of the brain - as opposed to beta brain waves, which are produced in the left-hemisphere and are associated with the "conscious mind." The brain creates theta brain wave rhythms each time you are in "dream sleep." Also, during R.E.M. [Rapid-Eye Movement] sleep, the brain is full of theta brain wave activity.

Nearly 3/5 of your entire time spent sleeping at night involves the production of theta brain waves in your brain. Many individuals also are able to access theta brain waves when they are: driving for a long stretch on the highway, practicing their meditation routine, using a self-hypnosis recording, or practicing other forms of deep relaxation. When you are able to consciously access the alpha brain waves state, you are just one step away from accessing the depths of theta.

What's cool about theta brain waves is the fact that they allow you to connect with your "subconscious mind." The subconscious mind is the place where all experiences, long-term memories, natural creativity, powerful emotions, spiritual connections, and inspiration are all stored. Think of the "subconscious mind" as one big, infinite storage space for "everything" in your life. The theta brain waves are extremely helpful for healing the body of injury and the mind of diseased-states

--------------Benefits of increasing theta brainwaves----------

•Deep levels of relaxation
•Bridges the spiritual connection
•O.O.B.E. , Astral Projection, Esp, Other related phenomenon
•Advanced intuition

Cool things in the wire

There are a few cool things in the wire this month (the December issue). Carey - "Modern Love are gearing up for a quadruple LP set of unreleased Daphne Oram material, due before the end of the year, with a CD release to follow in Janurary". AND: Mark Fisher is to get "vacuum sealed inside an Entr'acte release. Monologues 1, the first in a new series of 'audio publications' from the label, features Fishers discourse on "The Poor And The Proletariate"...". Spinn and Rashad do the invisible jukebox (I'm listening to loads of Juke at the moment, especially lil jabba's Swisha). Autechre, Shackleton, The Bangs and Works mixes, Sunn 0))) etc are also reviewed... yeah, a little too excited by the wire this morning... i'll sign off with Autechre's "Arch Carrier" to accompany all this fevered fandom:
