Well the last Temporal Sound and Light Composition didn't set the forum on fire...maybe this one will.
 
This was done on the night of David Bowie's death, hence the title...and literally the heavens did cry.  There is thunder and lightning, and the guitar sound that starts in the middle is in fact a granular synth...created from the temporal audio.
 
Peace Ben 

Can you explain us what "created from the temporal audio" means.

I dunno what to make of this Ben. I watched for about 4 minutes and nothing much happened. The synths were very portentious and doom-laden but very repititous. I scrolled on a bit and the sky was very dramatic. Kind of 'is that it?' really.

The Temporal is location field and vision recordings.

Hi James, it's a mood peice...it's probably not as sonically interesting as the moon piece I have floating around...you should have waited until the guitar sound kicked in...it becomes like a 67 Pink Floyd mash with King Crimson...I will post moon piece in a week or two...this piece is like Beethoven on Acid!!.  Literally...there are 3 moons in the sky at one point, and all in the key of Cm...or moonlight sonata lol.  And no there is no effects, all I've done is layer 3 film samples to get 3 moons at once.
 
Thanks for trying to understand James.
 
Peace 

Ifn ya have ta deconstruct it...what good is it? It is what it was. See what I did there? I know I'm a fan of Ben's noodlins an all but at least his work forces you to DO something. Even if that is throw yor half drunk martini across the livin room. Acourse I woulda called this magnum opus "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors"...but then I'm a romantic at heart.

Lol, are you drunk? ;).  Just you wait till you see the moon piece...it's high art.
 
Peace Ben

Nope...unfortunately I am a true Irishman...and, at least in the last twenty years, never drunk...though every one of my friends who've had the same amount as me of an imbibing evening can hardly stand up. But tonight...like most nights...I am just nursing a great Cabernet.

Granular synthesis is just incredible stuff.  In fact Ben got me into it really and I just love it.  You can take anything and I mean anything from live atmos or foley sound recordings to one single tabla hit or a single tibetan bell hit and create the most amazing sounds you will ever hear from any synthesiser.  So far removed from reality it is just hard to imagine.  Nothing comes close to granular synthesis.  It is not for everyone though. Normal sounds are not its thing.  It is wonderful for strange sound design stuff which this piece from Ben is.
 
Great to see granular inside Omnisphere now.  The two others to get into are New Sonic Arts 'Granite' and SoundGuru 'The Mangle'. (They are different from each other but wonderful though)
 
Ben uses a great Steinberg granular synth as well. (Padshop) I have not gone down the Padshop path because I am pretty inviolved with Granite and The Mangle but I am sure it is great as well.

Thanks Jeff :) I've tried over the years to keep experimenting...find a niche and all that.  Popular music is dead, and we need to find a way forward...this kind of works.
 
Peace :)
