He works at bottom of time. Tempos between 10-25BPM. From pieces created for the 10BPM Dance Club an interest was sparked, explorations made and an understanding of how the slow time works developed. DeSloMol is a new AKA of Benn DeMole an experimental musician and composer who has been working in the ambient, trip hop and downbeat genres for over 20 years. His love of combining the organic with the electronic has evolved into truly electroacoustic live performances. Live saxophone, flute, voice, and didgeridoo being mixed with computer sounds, found and created, rhythms with space, glitch and textures oh so deep.

Created in response to a poem and a sad part of history.

"Poisoned Waterhole:

Violent disregard echoes.

Keenly felt today."

by Peita Vincent

This poem and history has particular personal significance for me. The being a white man as part of a land that was so violently colonized has been part of my journey of knowing myself: the sadness and guilt and anger and activism and acceptance and hope and connection and clearing and love.

One of the strange ancestral parallels that have been for me: My great-grandmother lived in Narrandera, my grandmother grew up in the street that led to the town-camp for the local black fellas. My friend Kaleena Briggs' family are also from that country too. In the early 2000's I recorded her band Stiff Gins ( https://www.facebook.com/stiffgins/ ) first album and accompanied them on their first international tour, both of us unaware that our families once lived near each other. I like to dream that our great-grandmothers might even have played together....

The ideas for this piece began with thinking of the wailing for the dead, then I began wailing through my sax so recorded that. That night we had a bonfire and I recorded it's crackling, with the thought to slow it right down. The next night I put them together also manipulating some of the sax and adding delay's (echos) and once the bed was made I wailed with my voice for four breaths.

"Record a piece of music that that is inspired by the constituent elements in (the various facets of) an eclipse, what it means in terms of sensory experience — in cultures ancient and contemporary."

I was just about to have a quick saxophone practice when I read the instructions for this weeks Disquiet Junto. Then the idea of doing a response just with the sax appeared. I set up some mics and started playing with the thought to record a bunch of stuff then layer/loop it later. So each layer was recorded without listening to the others.

The basic idea that evolved whilst playing was to start with a bunch of loops playing symbolizing the chaotic busy world with everyone doing their thing, then all slowing and becoming aware of the eclipse and having a time of reflection and release, then as the light returns getting back into the day yet a bit lighter and more in tune with each other. Minor before the eclipse changing to Major during and after.

Waking early I took myself and a flute down to the beautiful creek. After an hour of Chi Gung I sat next to the creek and thought of everyone I have ever met all around the world, everyone that I have smiled at, that I have shared a space, a room, a plane, that I have walked passed in the street and everyone that all those people love, and everyone else in the world where I have never been. I will play for you. Then I pressed record...
