Salty Poses
By miraclemiles on August 14, 2022 9:12 pm
Some traveling musicians bring guitars, hand drums, and a hand-fashioned beachwood ideophone of some sort down to the Pacific for a quick jam near the waves. There's a camera. They thought it would be more fun to just film waves though. Someone puts down their instrument to practice a pose. Others join in to watch. Then a sunset to cap off the evening.
That's the story - not a true one - I imagined for creating this. Kept things simple this week. I had some footage of trip to the ocean last week. Thought I would listen to it, then play the first things that came to mind. First the djembe. Then the ideophone, a sample based wooden mallet percussion of some sort called Coconut, a free Ableton creation from Brian Funk. Then the guitars: Ableton's Tension synth, then another sample based creation Brian Funk. Played notes on the Push. Some delays, verbs, saturation on things. Kept some voices and ocean sounds. Kept some original video, did some with Zwobot FX.
The Ocean's pace is slow and encourages introspection for me. But in that space, anything could come out. Even oceanic death metal (next week's son??) So depending on collective connection of the (imaginary or not) traveling band of musicians, who knows what will come.
