Sun II – a Track

As we are traveling around in different states of mind through the world, collecting sounds by recording with a phone whatever is passing by. It could be the ticking sound from a traffic light. The prayer from a mosque or the fluid flowing in the pipes of a broken fridge. The voice from a speaker on a train station in Italy or a helicopter chopping through the air. A few handfuls of samples from a selection of unexpected sources of weird sounds have been altered and tweaked into something to put together into a track of tunes. 

A project which followed along for quite some time as I have been waiting to come across a welding spark to record. But it just never happens. Most of the work and mixing took place in India. In a dystopian overpopulated environment in a mega city seeming like the future we all are approaching. The sound from a mosque next to my bedroom window was put into some kind of piece of sound art. This track is now something which have spent enough time in an enclosed digital atmosphere to start missing human ears, as it have collected nothing but time and dust just to become a lump of energy that wants to get away. May the cave it have now crawled out from have consisted of zeros and ones in a collection of PCBs, electronic devices and software.  A product of unrestricted creativity from the real world. Translated to the new universe through computerization, as the digital machinery is conquering the physics.

In times when viruses are spreading across the globe to defeat humanity and preventing us travelers from doing our thing. I have escaped to making tunes behind a dune. The only real nature in an artificial environment made up in a dessert. Watching men passing by in dresses and long beards like from a tribe from Arrakis maybe. I decided to publish this track as an exercise in taking things for what they are. Living with what I made, as it is. I felt for it since I am in the Arab world now again.

For some reason I called it Sun II. I guess it is just a file name. Things like this never gets anywhere further if it just stays where it is. Stop thinking. Someone needs to upload and write a post about it. Even though it really might not explain anything. And that is just the way it have to be. May I present. As it is. Sun II.
