Title: Elia Post by: respirator on April 01, 2007, 06:30:17 PM This is a derivative work. It's based on a controversial Danish mega sculpture, called Elia (http://www.elia.dk/engelsk/index_eng.html) situated outside of Herning.
All sounds are from a field recording from a visit to the sculpture. Elia (http://www.respirator.dk/elia.mp3) (http://www.respirator.dk/elia.jpg) Picture by juneau. This is perhaps a new project from me. Music from art. Interesting subject. Title: Re: Elia Post by: Laguna Rising on April 01, 2007, 07:10:11 PM Mmmhh... definitely original and uncommon :-\
Cheers Title: Re: Elia Post by: one on April 04, 2007, 02:15:12 AM Hi Res
Girlfriend likes it, it's the only tune here that shae has'nt made me shut off! She wants a whole record like this.. I think its cool too! 1 :) Title: Re: Elia Post by: respirator on April 05, 2007, 10:24:27 AM Argh. I make girly music :D
I'm thinking about doing an album (or project) with this kind of art-derived pieces. But there's a bunch of this stuff on my site: www.respirator.dk Title: Re: Elia Post by: one on April 05, 2007, 08:40:19 PM ahh
She's no girly girl type more like an art snob... It's good stuff, real art... 1 :) Title: Re: Elia Post by: Oren on April 09, 2007, 03:33:53 PM May I call you Res?
This one was a big stretch for a guy who wears army boots and carries a pocket knife... the question: is it music, or noise? I say music. Not the "rythm and rhyme and harmony" type, but a thoughtfully composed listening experience. Big sound, great production values, no harmonica. Cool. Title: Re: Elia Post by: Van Greco on April 10, 2007, 03:03:10 PM This is certainly an interesting concept. At about 1:30 or so when the sounds start to become rhythmic it starts to peek my interest a bit more. I would definately have to say that this is one of the more unusual things i have downloaded to listen to. It stands apart and ,even though it is probably not consumable for most, that is a very good thing. Keep experimenting. Thanks for sharing your work :)
Title: Re: Elia Post by: respirator on April 10, 2007, 10:06:09 PM Oren: You may not call me Res. Thomas will do fine ;) And thanks for listening!
Van Greco: I'm glad you suffered through the whole thing. I hope you'll listen to more stuff like this in the future. Title: Re: Elia Post by: Oren on April 11, 2007, 08:46:16 AM Thomas,
This is my favourite of your two compositions here at 'dark and evil'. The idea of combining locational sounds to create a mood is new to me, and opens up some interesting sonic doorways... Now look what you've done! Title: Re: Elia Post by: kara on April 13, 2007, 06:43:01 PM TBH I don't know nothing about this kind of music, that's why I'm happy that we have a dedicated mod to this section.
But I have to admit that, looking at the pic and listening to the music, it is perfect ! It's the perfect incarnation of an image in music. Great ! Kara Title: Re: Elia Post by: Wyatt on April 16, 2007, 06:23:29 PM I agree..around a minute and a half it starts boppin right along.
..this is a very large container that my imagination pours into. ..all it needs is a little harmonica. ;D Wyatt Title: Re: Elia Post by: Servetus on June 18, 2007, 09:05:56 PM I like this one a lot.. I'm starting to get an itch for a nice hard disk recorder..

I am very impressed by your immense creativity & it's fantastic for what it is,but I have to admit I was really aching for a bass line and a keyboard chord along with it. If you added two tracks of melodies & went with the sound effects without adding percussion,I think it would be a fascinating marriage of the two-which would be similar to the band-Art Of Noise.
