Just for the holidays, here’s a free mp3: Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Remix 2008 (3.2mb mp3 file)
It is more closely based on the original melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, composed in 1818 and based on the text written by Rev. Joseph Mohr in 1816. Of course, this version is considerably more modern in arrangement and sound (more of a sound sculpture imitating the melodies). Enjoy!
I need to figure out what I’m going to do about the abandoned Sonic Sculptures 2008…

Here is what I had written earlier about my part in this episode:
The show is centered on the Duluth harbor, and my segment focuses on my recording of sounds in Canal Park and then modifying and composing music with those sounds… I was video-taped and interviewed while playing with some sounds in my studio. The resulting music I used for one of my Sonic Sculptures:
Check it out if you can…and of course, feel free to let me know what you think! Thanks!

Here’s the final Sonic Scultpure of April, 2008:
2008: 53 Sonic Sculptures – 19. May II [1 min 10 sec, 1.07mb mp3]
I decided to really try and capture this exact moment. About forty-five minutes ago, I set my mini-disc recorder on my windowsill, opened the window, and hit record. I recorded about 6 minutes of the sounds going on outside.
Using Adobe Audition, I broke the segment of audio I had recorded into 5 sections of about one minute and ten seconds long, and layered them one atop another. Next, I did what many purest musicians and music fans would normally be appalled by – I compressed it considerably (using mostly Hard Limiting in Audition).
With a very dense sounding texture of hissy wind and birds chirping, I began sculpting. Next I EQed the sound several times to thin it slightly. Then I proceed to use various Noise Reduction techniques to further thin out the sound, leaving behind only the most interesting of the sounds (mostly the bird chirping). By this point, however, through this process of scultping, the bird chirps of course became a bit distorted and such, but that is the idea of sculpting sound. To finish it off, I reversed the sample, then added a fade in and fade out at the beginning and end.

Here’s the first Sonic Scultpure of May, 2008:
2008: 53 Sonic Sculptures – 18. May I [1 min 58 sec, 1.80mb mp3]
This was done in Adobe Audition by mainly introducing more and more layers of the source material (in this case, some recordings of an accordian). The idea here was gradual transformation of the various sonic qualities of this source material. By layering it through various echo effects that make each successive echo have a different quality, this gradual changing of the sonic qualities of the source material is achieved. Of course, I decided to add some pitch bending toward the end for further conclusive metamorphosis.

I will be appearing on a segment of the show “On The Road” with Jason Davis. It airs on KSTP in Minneapolis, MN and WDIO in Duluth, MN. Here’s some details about the show: KSTP: On The Road
The show is centered on the Duluth harbor, and my segment focuses on my recording of sounds in Canal Park and then modifying and composing music with those sounds… I was video-taped and interviewed while playing with some sounds in my studio. The resulting music I used for one of my Sonic Sculptures:
2008: 53 Sonic Sculptures – 10 – March III
It will air on May 18th on KSTP and on May 24th on WDIO in Duluth. Should be interesting…
