A note about the sound

Recorded in special stereo at abstract soundscapes studios, this lenghty album (abstractCD008 double CD of total audio lenght of 120 minutes+) had been released to MP3 encoding and free avaibility on the internet (the sound is available in the abstract section of this website), the two tracks The End Of Time and The Last Song had been given to public domain and are exempt of any copyright in the sound recording, as if the track was 100 years old, anyway it had been recorded in 2006 on mini disc w/o overdubs or looping, using many outboard effects and fx pedals to produce waves coming back and forth toward the field recording of rain, falling in real time during the rec (there are many spaces with rain, surely when I change of gtr, because some are not tuned exactly the same (i ve got my tunning book standard and other essay for some songs, and a prepared gtr w/ screwdriver, so 3 gtr jackson, fender and w/o quality mark (loose the tuning every quarter seconds, anyway the fender sounds great and sets a very slow process of building the song w/ few theme but mainly focused on layers of sound (7 track out for one gtr, three DIs out plus 3 mics on the amp & two coupled mic at the window (raining so w/ boom and a lot of crystal that absorbed humidity because a version of this ultra compressed by D&M,Berlin, germany you hear only the ticking of rain against the wood, not the whole field rec, as well many stereo effects, some tracks are radiocally panned to right/left giving a sense of spectral density, layers of sound on sound, a dense and almost spatial athmosphere where ambient noise rock creates gigantic waves of calm and quiet and waves from all of the sound out of the 16-tracks had been entirely modified throught complex circuit of guitar f.x. pedals and f.x. studio machines and digital reverberation, this is a one take recording concept on improvisation and the original recording had been made on MD then transfered to digital for the final LP/CD/MP3 release, all the special effects had been recorded live this album prefigure the ambient recordings sequel not the one numbered from one to three, but the sequel with albums such as A Free Peace Of Sky, Sky Piece (both dedicated to yoko ono & john lenon for their work of art , specially grapefruit on which I adapt some 'pieces' cigarette piece, not hammer nails (already done by the sonics, cut piece where I cut paper it s been modified and tweaked so it goes backward on stereo field quite nice track despite few themes I wrote and play some which are quite sad songs even for 'the last song' improvised lyrics, a technique of free vocals with anything that comes in mind and a soft burried scream of terror (enough is enough, getting tired) nevertheless The End of Time is the far most successful piece that goes w/ great expectation (a cat power cover - very modified, and w/o vox - the big come don is nice too, lenghty too but sqlow down gradually to no end harmonic chords descent that goes and goes down - and The End Of Time - one of the best rec on MD w/o ovrdub, one take rec Those recordings had come on various sound format CD & MP3 are available throught this website on high quality LAME encoding and MP3pro up to 320Kbps, this is the online liner notes from the recordings The Last Song/The End of Time by experimental artist on abstract/concrete Mat's Trip

The End Of Time (full album recording) (41.07) recorded in one take rec, w/o any overdub or looping just minor fx thru mixing the digital audio when transfered to WAV files with a lot of stereo fx (radical panning and evolutiove EQs as well, RIAA rec techniques (as I read on EM) & it works (a old standard for vynil LP in the 50's still kick ass in a weird way) state-of-the-art gear at this time a lot of mics, nice DI boxes and 9 fx pedals on two circuit on stereo (boss digital reverb, boss digital delay, ibanez digital/analog delay, boss acoustic simlulator, boss flanger & pahse shiftyer (phaser), no loop station unfortunately, octaver for playing bass w/ gtr (at least the first chords) and well bunch of other precious stuffs boss metal zone, jim harley fuzz unit) outboard includes Reverb with two machines in one, and also a ultramizer, plus a tube ultra gain pro for processing signals) the result is nice download here

A Note on the Music : (by mt, composer & engineer of the end of time ceased to public domain (dedication))

“This album has been recorded sometimes in 2006 giving the opportunity to express musical vibes as a feeling close to extremity, specially in the lenght of each song whose duration is about 30-40 minutes long. I want to take the time to build and create and athmosphere with this recording and give a sense of desolation of something ruined of somewhat wrong. While recording the sound you can feel body liberates calming waves of synapses chemical messenger and is so anti stress in a sense and also very dense, layered, textured, almost over textured where sonic waves comes & go as waves of sound of electronically processsed gtr w/ a lot of fx (as well ,on fx pedal then outboard fx) and a lot of fun w/ the live mix and live EQs all in glorious stereo, a very dense stereophonic recording close to 70's experimentation w/ stereo and radical panning of some tracks that finnaly turn and spins round the room, it seem to be a quiet record even if it sound almost noise sometimes but it s less agressive you feel waves of quietness and calm just below a kind of tension and slow building piece (30 sec of silence then the track beguins by 3 min of rain until the amp is started - he is also cutted at teh end of the rec) I recorded the disc two after a violent crash accident where the scenario was just some worthless shit and I wonder how could people act this way violently like if nothing cares anymore, like if everything was void and everything going to a close end feelig. I transpose those strongs emotions on music with extreme durations to take the time to devellop electronically the feeling of the album.Its shape is wonderful in my taste with a lot of stereophonic reshearch and maybe the best sound I ever had on home recording at my abstract soundscapes home, the purity is inside the wave lenght looking for salvation or redemption in something totally tasteless and void. Building a bubble of sound effect that give rise to a pure feeling of somewhat really beautiful. The sound is precious to me in this album like a restless effort of recording something almost sacred.”
