Audio visual round-up.

Hi there, it’s time once again to update you on the recent highlights of my musical ouvre, accompanied by the usual mind-bending videos.

First up, a down tempo ambient soundscape called 16.666%

The next one is equally ethereal, but more organic, as suggested by the title; Autumnal Ambient 1612.

Switching gears now, it’s remix time; with a completely bonkers rework of Westbam‘s version of …And More by Krautrock godfathers CAN.

After all that insanity, let the warm, soothing tones of my modular synth mesmerise you, with the first of two new compositions, Quantum Dots.

More trance-like multimedia immersion now, with the punningly titled πano

And bringing us right up to date, here are a trio of tracks from this weekend, starting with a satisfyingly squelchy drone, called Amorphous 0049

Then we go in the opposite direction, featuring more percussion than anyone could sensibly need in one track, this is Minimal Blip.

And finally, here’s my ’80s Garage Meltdown Mix a big, bouncy burst of electropop nostalgia; ’80s inspired synths and drum machines, with added garage beats and strange glitching noises.

I hope you found something to entertain you amongst that collection, check out my Bandcamp page for previous releases and stay tuned for more new material soon…

New ongoing musical project: dalecooper57 – In others’ words.

For my latest audio visual project, I have been taking words out of other people’s mouths and using them as integral components of my compositions, even if they’re not entirely intelligible.

I began with vocal samples of notable cult figures that I isolated from YouTube videos; Philip K Dick, David Lynch, Timothy Leary and Alan Ginsberg, which I then treated with effects and built the music round them.

Here’s Philip K Dick talking about the concept of living in “The Matrix”, long before Neo met Agent Smith in the movie.

Next up, David Lynch explaining Transcendental Meditation via the humble donut.

And now a potted history of LSD, with ’60s counterculture heroes, Leary and Ginsberg

Once I got the hang of this new ouvre, I requested volunteers from the many writers and poets on my social media feeds, hoping they could record some original material to further inspire me.

The first to offer his services was Al Jagiello from Chicago, who sent me some clips from his podcast, “Population”, which I turned into this jolly little number; Katz & Dogz.

There will be more where that came from, I can assure you.

Watch this space…

Psychedelic Sunday.

Another weekend of digital fiddling and multimedia mucking about has ended up with another new piece of genre-defying electronic music and an accompanying video which gives new meaning to the word “trippy”.

The video was made using only a single photo, which I was using to make some artwork for the track’s Bandcamp release. I got a bit carried away adding more and more extra layers of effects and, although the resulting visuals weren’t created by synching them with the music, they are still pretty awesome in their psychedelic trippiness.
