Disquiet

The online audio diary of Taylor Deupree continues apace, and yesterday’s entry — “november 10, 2014 (atlantis voices)” — is exactly the sort of everyday sonic figment that listeners have come to expect from him. It’s a series of swells, some beading with dissonance, others flush with an almost tactile hum, others still combining those two essences. At three minutes in length, it’s on the heftier side of his diary output. Track originally posted at [soundcloud.com/12k](https://soundcloud.com/12k/november-10-2014-atlantis-voices), where he also lists the modular components with which it was recorded. All the constituent parts of his modular patch were made by the Intellijel manufacturer. More from Deupree at [taylordeupree.com](http://www.taylordeupree.com/).

We have no accepted documentary evidence of UFOs, and yet we know what they sound like. They hover, and have a tonal system apart from our own — except when, to eerie effect, they actively embrace one of Earth’s, as in the classic sequence from *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* — and seem both ethereal and technological at the same time. The technology of the ether is the heart of “I Assumed the Same,” a piece that Malmö, Sweden”“based Pythagora (aka Dan Henry PÃ¥lsson) uploaded this week. It’s a “jamsession” (PÃ¥lsson’s word) he completed with Metek, a full half hour of murky jangles. They seem mechanical, conjuring up images of metal and routinized activity, and yet their otherworldliness is such that they can linger in the foreground and yet remain entirely out of reach.
