What the fuck is going on?!

Luckily it’s just three music/sound nerds wanting to grab some reverb impulses. The guilty three are me, Arild Lillebostad and Stein Vegard Stavik. An impulse response is for the normal people a recording of the reverberation that is caused by an acoustic space when an short sound is played. The sound can be an electric spark, starter pistol shot or the bursting of a balloon, for instance. We went for the ballon! A recording of this approximated ideal impulse may be used directly as an impulse response in a convolution reverb like Space Designer or Altiverb. Provided that the pulse is short enough compared to the impulse response, the result will be close to the true, theoretical, impulse response.

The place for the reverb impulse recordings was the coast fortress at julneset just 10 minutes west of Molde, Norway. There where three of the rooms we wanted to cover in this first session (I guess we will do more later on) and the result will eventually end up in my next album. So this is more a teaser of what’s to come really.

So what we did was to mount a stereo mic in “human height” in the place the “listener” would be to record. Then made a loud bang when the balloons pops in “instrument” location. We did this in a bunker with a long drone reverb, a claustrophobic bunker with door and in an open bunker with whole around on all sides in shooting height (for standing and shooting through).

When all recording was done it was home and crop the recordings to capture the reverb and put them into Space Designer and give it a listen. Success. The reverbs is spot on! Well at least very close to what it sounds like in there.

Some pictures from the day:

That’s all I can say about that!

As this don’t fit any of my up and coming projects I decided to just put the tune up for free download. Here goes.

I have also sampled a _lot_ of real life sounds that is in use. Hope you enjoy the listen as much as I enjoyed the making of it. The first tune may sound familiar if you have followed my demoscene releases. Yes it is a remake of There was some rain and some sun in the forest.

So… a bit out of style for me this dubstep thing so I had to make a try in my own way. Just for the fun of it off course. Here is the remix:Miu_We_are_the_bass_(Proteque_tape_fetish_remix).mp3. And off course listen to the original at Spotify or somewhere else.

As some of you may have seen I released an art piece called The world must burn together with the finish artist Pilvari Pirtola this summer at Solskogen, Ås, Norway. He did the visuals and i did the audio. Now The world must burn is accepted to be shown at Helsinki Short Film Festival 8-12.11.2011 as part of their ‘experimental’ series. The art piece has also been shown during Pirtolas exhibition at Titanik gallery in Turku.

If you haven’t seen the piece. Here it is. If you are in Helsinki 8-12. November you know what to do!

So I did. However I did not want to pay for giving it away free with bandwidth. So i made a torrent of it. Enjoy.

And if you feel like it you can always listen at spotify, buy at iTunes store or get the CD.

Download torrent.
