Electronic Whales

Hey Everyone :)

This is my first time posting in the Electronic forums. Sort of nevus haha!

I won't explain much here, because I have the PDF linked, but I'll quote from it so you don't have to have to download it haha!.

"Electronic Whales is a sound art composition, which uses a variation on the No-Input method of creating closed feedback. No Input is where artist use items such as mixing boards or other electronic devices to create sound without the use of an external device. This is achieved by plugging the devices output cables back into its input sockets, creating closed feedback.

I saw (and was introduced by) a video of No Input on Youtube, where artists, Sachiko M and Toshimaru Nakamura, performed using No Input mixers. So I was immediately inspired to create my own form of feedback. My goal was to just create closed feedback, and I never intended to succeed in recording a piece out of it.

The piece is improvised, and could never be replicated perfectly again. Feedback in nature is unstable and there are many ways to create it, thus, nothing could really be the same, although certain methods can lead to similar sounding feedback."

WARNING! This demo does contain some strong frequencies and sounds that has given my friends headaches in the past. If you feel pressure around your temples or any part of your head, please so stop listening. Apart from that, enjoy the piece. Oh! and if you have Synesthesia then you are going to have a blast listening to this!

this sounded good. a machine feeding on itself. since yesterday i spent the night listening to guys feeding whatever they come up with and jamming it all online on electro-music, this is really nice fit this morning. nah, it only can heal headaches, not cause them :D

very nice, indeed!

haha cool! thanks!

This was a pretty cool experiment. I think the second section was the most successful. I didn't really think of whales. I thought of a bunker or room miles underground, weird lighting, the hum of strange machines bent on becoming self-aware. Very meditative. I like the drone-like frequency interspersed with shorter feedback loops. Very cool. It would be cool if you could record a few of these and work it into a composition.

That would be cool! Thanks for the feedback!

haha cool! thanks!

I have the same idea with you. Great! Thanks for sharing. :cool::P:cool:
