Libations & Oscillations - Cadavre Exquis

So this is the fifth mix chronologically but the story this mix takes place after our duo Dr. Dirigible and The Outlaw Saint have left Professor Seaglitch's Isle. In this arrangement, we hear the newfound musical techniques of Dr. Dirigible and The Outlaw Saint. The former title could be, "The Exquisite Corpse of My Former Self," however that is a touch extravagant. Instead "Cadavre Exquis" describes both the technique and emotion that was put into this mix. This was put together and performed for the 38th Ambient Campout and lead to one of our favorite remixes we’ve ever done. The Portishead remix here was something that happened. There was a point in Cadavre Exquis where we thought, "Man, it would be nice to drop some Portishead right here, but it doesn't quite fit." So we remixed it. You have to be careful when remixing something as timeless as Portishead. The original is so beautiful, we didn't want to change that much but rather just amp up the groove a bit to fit the context of the mix.

Libations & Oscillations - The Cracked Chronometer

Typically during the burning of an effigy at a burn event there is no music. Not that it’s a law written in stone but it’s something that people had come to think of like a tradition. At the request of the effigy designer, Dottie Spearman, we challenged this line of thinking. Several things happened here the first being one of the most complicated mixsets either Tonebreaker or myself have ever put together and an L&O Cocktail at the end. Which is one of the strangest things I’ve ever put together. However, I still love it for it’s dark and cinematic feel.

In this tale, Dr. Dirigible (Tonebreaker) and The Outlaw Saint (Joseph Noctum) have affixed an ancient Duergar chronometer to their airship, the S.S. Discord. According to legend, this device will allow them to sail the temporal seas firsthand. However, upon entering the tesseract, the chronometer cracks and sends our band of ne’er-do-well’s skittering through the fabric of spacetime. The resulting adventure through past, present, and future is transcribed in sound for your listening enjoyment. We used all of our skills mixing, sampling, remixing and producing this arrangement to make a cinematic tour that spans a myriad of musical styles. Marrying the world of acoustic and electronic music, we hope you enjoy this auditory accompaniment to the stunning visuals, performances, pyro and ultimately, our 2012 burn

Headrockaz - Live At Ambient Camping 34: The Howling

From 2008 to 2010 I was involved in a Glitch, Bass, Turntablism duo called, Headrockaz along with DJ Dubmatique. It was a great time for live performance experimentation. Not satisfied anymore with just mixing two records together I wanted to create a custom experience that would change and evolve with each show. This was the beginning of what would eventually become the basis of Libations & Oscillation's live shows. Having been no stranger at this point to performing at Ambient Campouts I knew this would be the perfect place to dive in. Sadly while many sets from earlier Ambient Campouts have been lost to the ether this special performance was preserved for your enjoyment.

Joseph Noctum - African Red Bush

This was originally recorded back in the 2008 timeframe, but like so many of my projects lost when the cheap hardware I was using crashed. What did we ever do before the cloud? While the unfinished project recording files we’re never recovered the 35 minutes of test rendering was. Originally this was a mix done for my new girlfriend, now wife, who had missed out on my DJ glory days. Having “retired” from DJ’ing in 2005/06 I was convinced to make her a mixtape, as hopeless romantics often do. She is way more of a hip-hop head than I, but we agreed on Downtempo and Trip-Hop. This idea what a holdover from the Noctum Records days when I thought it would be fun to do a series based on what a DJ would play in a coffeehouse rather than a club. The name is taken from a type of Roobios tea. Which is a play on the Tea House that my now wife ran back then, along with her nickname, “Red”. During its life it was played during an Ambient Camping event and then eventually release on the nurevolution studios podcast in 2010.
