New Release of Old Material

Wed, January 2, 2013 at 11:30 AM

I am happy to announce my latest release Isaz, a 4 track EP featuring experiments in sound, processed loops and field recordings. All of these tracks were conceptualized, recorded, programmed and mixed between January and September 2009. Available now as a free download from Bandcamp.

<a href="http://kurtlorenz.bandcamp.com/album/isaz">Isaz by Kurt Lorenz</a>

Isaz - Track by Track

01. This is just my voice

This is just a looping, processed sample of me saying "this is just my voice"

02. Cargo

Processed sample of a train running through Carkeek Park in Seattle, WAUSA. This track was recorded with an M-Audio MicroTrack II digital recorder using the standard t-microphone. I used Ableton Live 6 for processing through an Auto Filter, a Simple Delay and a Resonator.

03. Batavia

This is the soundtrack to a memory. Flying in my fathers small plane from Buffalo. NY to Batavia, IL. when I was 6 years old. A mix of excitement and utter dread. I feel like I captured those feelings in this track.

04. Eye

Original Experimental Music/Sound (by Kurt Lorenz) made completely on the iPhone using BeatMaker, NLogSynth, and iGendyn. (Slo-Mo Vocalizations are from the videos audio track.) Each app was recorded directly into an audio channel in Ableton Live and some basic mixing/compression applied. This track is the soundtrack to an experimental film I created entitled "Eye" you can see the video below or here: www.vimeo.com/5243888

"Soothing dream-pop at its best." - Seattle Weekly

My track “An Untravelable Space” featured in the Bertha Landes 2012 Playlist for the International Fountain at Seattle Center

Tue, September 4, 2012 at 2:31 PM

BTW: who was Bertha Landes? First female mayor of a major American city, aka Mayor of Seattle 1926 - 1928: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Knight_Landes

James Whetzel (http://jameswhetzel.tumblr.com/) has created a Bertha Landes Mix for 2012! This is an all local music mix, and in it are all excellent artists from Seattle, WA, US of A. It’s mostly new tunes, but yes there are a couple tracks from years past that are in there as well.

James is not only listing all the tracks but providing links to make it easy for you to listen to them.

These tracks will play in the International Fountain August 29th & 30th. The fountain will be shut down for the Bumbershoot Festival on August 31st through September 3rd, and will remain off during post-festival cleanup. Fingers crossed, the cleanup will be done, and the mix will play again September 6th - 10th, 2012.
