Organic granular sound paintings

Three tracks for your consideration :

Airquake
Altiplano
The emporeres wearing no clothes

The others are perhaps not so experimental but you might like to listen to them anyway:

Hi Augustine,

I had a close listen to some of your works. Keep in mind I did not read any descriptions if there were any

First, An English Country Jungle - I like this very much, how the mood literally zaps from segment to segments. All segments have their particularities. This creates a longing for more, so this track was really able to keep the attention. I think this track is really my favorite. I am writing as I am listening again - it Zaps right open from the beginning - are those synthesized birds? The second scene is really dreamy with the pitch effects, the third scene is eery with the noise consistent on the background. This song feels like a little journey, summarized in a couple of minutes.

Altiplano made me feel like an observer standing close to traffic until a big bang creates a darker mood while the traffic is still there, but more muted, with a darker undertone. Toward the end the mood changes and the traffic is gone. This is certainly a piece I could listen to may times.

I was wondering, did you have similar things in mind while composing this?

Cheers,

Serge

Hi Serge,
The thing I like about this abstract music is that it reflects meaning from the person listening to it. so to answer your question NO ! I had quite different things in mind, but to me thats a good thing. I do not want the listener to hear what I intended necessarily but rather to engage the imagination of the listener. I do however know which parts of the song you are talking about. Altiplano means "high plain".
The English country jungle is actually called Bosky (Bosque - forest) and vice versa something went wrong (or perhaps right ??) in the naming of the mp3.
Actually this isnt the finished version so I will try to post that.
I'm not sure about which bird sounds you refer to but I did do a lot of field recordings in a wood near potters bar. I had to camp out all night to wait for the airplane and car noise to stop. So I got the dawn chorus, it was strange to hear crows and owls singing at the same time in the dawn light.
When pitched down the english country bird song sounds like a seething jungle with many mysterious wailings. Thats the idea of "An English county jungle" that we are surrounded by this eerie almost primordial soundscape, only we dont notice it because of its high frequency range. However thats a different track to the one on the site !
That tracks not up at the moment but ill try and sort that out !
