Experimental Reminiscence [8:52, .WAV, 48 kHz, 24-Bit] Final task of course at Elektronmusikstudion EMS 2022.

Presentation:

Due to my work with graphics and digital imagery, I early became curious about AI-generated images. When the Midjourney service became available, I signed up for the beta version and started exploring what was possible. I quickly got hooked on rendering images of different environments with elements of plants, appliances, and synthesizers, among other things. The rendered pictures gave me a sense of "phantom nostalgia" – a sense of a place and time that never really existed. These images have been the basis – as a reference point and source of inspiration, a feeling to start from – in my exploration of the Buchla and Serge systems at EMS, and in the recording sessions in my own studio.

To have a structure to relate to, I asked the artificial intelligence for a graphical score for the instruments I intended to use and the AI ​​responded with an image of various blocks and little squiggles. To further concretize and set up a framework, I decided that the piece should stick to the C Minor scale, keep a tempo of 72 BPM and last about 8-9 minutes. I measured the blocks in the score to 159 Bars and divided them into color-coded sections in my DAW. This became the map that I related to in the cutting and mixing process.

The recordings were done as individual explorations and improvised jams. Instruments and effects used are: Serge System in Studio 6, Buchla 100 Series and small 200 system in Studio 3, Buchla 200 in Studio 4, EMS SYNTHI A, Buchla Easel Command, Korg MS20 mini, Synthstrom Audible Deluge, Empress Reverb, Roland Space Echo RE20, Earthquaker Grand Orbiter, EHX Bad Stone, Meris Polymoon, BOSS BX16 mixer, Reason 12, Eksperimental Sounds Ouroboros, Reverb AK11, and FX3180, FabFilter ProQ 3 EQ, field recordings of crackles and bubbles with Zoom 4Hn.

Another thing I love about The Baby - apart from his cute noises which I’ve mentioned in Reason 9/1000 - is that he has an actual personality.

He could have been just adorable. Like sit there, make some baby noises, and hug his dad. Which would be fine. But that would make The Baby closer to a pet and he’s much more than that.

For example, we see his curiosity and fascination with everything that is going around. We have multiple scenes when he stares at whatever Mando is doing at the moment - either with this “mmm yes, murder” attitude or just because he probably thinks his dad is really cool. (This also includes his undying love for pushing buttons, switching things and looking at shiny metal objects.)

When Din fights The Mudhorn you can see that The Baby is concerned. He does not understand everything, but knows enough to be scared and care about Mando’s well-being. We see slightly darker example of that when he tries to Force-choke Cara. The Baby wants to help and knows how to do it - even if there won’t be any reward (e.g. with Greef Karga... it was purely selfless, I think).

He is also playful and mischevious. Like in the moment when he looks Din dead in the visor and switches something right after he was told to not touch anything. Or when he pretended to be a little bat and then hijacked Razor Crest.

What's more important is that I see before me:
