Hi folks, I have a new Csound track (a short one, especially for me) on a compilation called No To War on the Post-Orientalism Music label. The track is called Threnody, and you can stream it here: Please note that there is a low-frequency component (45 Hz) that will certainly be inaudible if played on laptop or phone speakers. It's better on decent headphones, but best on a good stereo, ideally with a subwoofer. This is made in Csound, with reverb and mastering down in Reaper using the Eventide Black Hole and Izotope Ozone plugins. I used 600EDO tuning, in a very abstract way, with no regard for recognizable scales or harmony. You might call this a "noise" piece, at least relative to my usual work. The CSD file is here: https://github.com/DaveSeidel/music-src/blob/master/threnody/threnody.csd In raw form: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveSeidel/music-src/refs/heads/master/threnody/threnody.csd Thanks, Dave |

Enjoyed listening to it. It’s somewhat different from the other pieces I heard in your recent releases, and I see what you mean about being a noise piece in comparison to those. Anyway, thanks for sharing! best ======================== Prof. Victor Lazzarini Maynooth University Ireland > On 21 Oct 2024, at 15:00, Dave Seidel |

Hi Dave! Oct 21 2024, Dave Seidel has written: ... > https://postorientalism.bandcamp.com/track/08-dave-seidel-threnody ... This was a short piece indeed! the low rumble did shake the room, at the right volume. :) When the higher swarm of notes came in first, I felt reminded of a huge swarm of insects. With all swarms in parallel, I did truely approximate noise. I've always meant to try and never did. I can now confirm: it works! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed that!

Nice Powerful. The Mastered Version is wonderful. Thanks also for the 'raw' version. ((The throbbing BASS is stronger in this version. Master is better.) I folded it down to stereo and I will share it with my EP-461 Comp students at Berklee tomorrow. - This week is Noise Music! Super. Note that the 'raw' version does not have the more elegant ReverbThrow at the end - which is also nicer.

Thanks, Richard! I was planning for the long reverb tail with the abrupt ending. On Mon, Oct 21, 2024, 2:19 PM Dr. Richard Boulanger <rboulanger@berklee.edu> wrote:

I should add -- I love reverbsc, but I wanted something bigger here, which is why I used Black Hole (the Dark Matter preset). On Mon, Oct 21, 2024, 2:55 PM Dave Seidel <dave.seidel@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes - Powerful piece and that is how it ends at BandCamp - but the raw csd just cuts off. - you might want to share a 'stereo' version of the raw CSD too - I love your work (as you know), and play it all the time and share it all the time too. - I am not sure that just mixing the L base with the L chords and the R bass with the R chords has the 'correct' balance. I can adjust, but I don't like to meddle - I just prefer to share. - Dr.B Dr. Richard Boulanger Professor Electronic Production and Design Berklee College of Music Professional Writing & Technology Division On Mon, Oct 21, 2024 at 2:56 PM Dave Seidel <dave.seidel@gmail.com> wrote:

Good point, I may add an alternate version that doesn't depend on external reverb and mix. Thanks for the input! On Mon, Oct 21, 2024 at 3:01 PM Dr. Richard Boulanger <rboulanger@berklee.edu> wrote:
