Having some fun with https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar/project-2-octobre-invitation and pleasantly surprised with the results.

I was also surprised by the amount of artwork out there relating to wolves and fireflies...

Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. ~ William Dement

I didn’t know her work at all. I spent some time looking through a number of images and this one grabbed me. I like that while it is apparently linear and structured, like most of her work at that time, it has small irregularities and blips, unlike much of her work and much like most of my soundscapes.

I created a short “arched” sine tone which dropped a few tones and made a 15 second sonic piece, then replicated it, building a slightly irregular “structure” with uneven changes of pitch and tempo. This structure was duplicated and the mix treated with reverb. These were layered over a foundation tone made from the original tone structure and stretched and treated in the Abstract Chamber.

It’s a little ragged around the edges, but then, so is the image.

The Assignment: Interpret a painting by Agnes Martin as if it were a graphic score.

Step 1: Look at the work of painter Agnes Martin, best known for her parallel lines.

Step 2: Select an individual work that suggests itself to you as a musical score.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music that interprets the painting selected in Step 2 as if it were a musical score.

Fragmentary reasoning by Tuonela

The ghostly Rhizostoma luteum is a jellyfish so elusive that decades often pass without a single sighting. The creature was first discovered by naturalists in 1827, but it wasn't until 2013 – nearly 200 years later – that the species was confirmed to be real.

I dug out an ancient track that had been a mutation of a piano track in a Soundcloud competition, back in the days of groups when we did stuff like that.

And further mutated it with reverse, reverb, The Mangle and remix.

And this is it. If you thought it was quiet down there in the depths, you can’t hear like a jellyfish…

The Assignment: What does a moment (or a day) in the life of a jellyfish sound like to a jellyfish?

There is just one step:

Step 1: Compose a piece of sound/music that summons up what a moment, or an instance, or a day in the life of a jellyfish is like to the jellyfish.
