Larmkunst Final Theme (disquiet0349) by Daniel Diaz

Shared for Disquiet Junto Project 0349: Got Glitch?

"If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience." John Cage (1912 - 1992)

Some years ago I was infatuated with the “glitch and noise” style, all the “no-input mixer” and plain-noise music making.
My use of glitch&noise ended up on two interesting things, first I was commissioned a soundtrack just because the director wanted” more noise than music” in the score. He gave me 2 hours of recordings from different sources of noise, glitches, interferences, insects etc
I loved it and got the idea of a full musical album that I ended up doing using noise and glitch along with more traditional instruments and composing (Larmkunst, I shared some track from that in previous junto challenges)

For this “Larmkunst Theme” I created glitches out of analog and tape delays, set to infinite feedback and saturation. The long coda produced by these distorted delay tails is used in edited form here and there to produce textures and contrast with the simple and pure acoustic theme.

The main theme is already online here:

It’s a duo acoustic guitar performance
But this final version develops further the use of glitches adding radio noise and interferences and it’s a duo Acoustic Guitar + Upright bass.
