I like the cover, the motive seems a little Asian, text placement/style a bit like traditional Chinese calligraphy, bright/warm colors in back and all, reminds me of some possibly museum motives I've seen but can't really recall in detail or origin of... intriguing design. Intriguing story too. Intrigued to hear this. The thing I'm still intrigued about after reading is the name itself, any particular inspirations behind the title? Seems the generation bit may be fueled by the generative style, but the supernova? Reminds me of a particular user here with similar name hmm, probably coincidence but curious if there's any intentional inspirations there. Looking forward to this! Hope it sounds as good as it looks.


Cheers CD and glad it's intriguing you so much! With regards the title, the "Generation" part was indeed a nod to the generative music style, and the "Supernova" part was hinting to the unpredictable explosion and expansion of sounds from the initial starting point of each track. The opening track of the album is also called "Supernova", but no reference to any specific people for inspiration :)


On top of that, the whole title "Generation Supernova" can be read as either as how I'd explained above (the explosion of generatively started sounds) or as in generations like GenX, Boomers, etc... but in this case Generation Supernova or the Supernova Generation, a reference to how the heavy elements that make up everyone who's ever lived and this entire planet were created from the remnants of dying stars which exploded into supernova (WE as life on earth are Generation Supernova). A poetic observation for a vaguely space themed generative exploration/album :) Hope that clarifies things, and hope you enjoy the music!

Ahh sounds like a legit music-related reference then. :) Good to know.

Woah... am glad I asked that question now! So much depth to it that I wouldn't have appreciated otherwise. Really is a nice way of looking at humanity as a whole, all these cosmically conceived generations on a roll, on the road to who now knows...


All the more intrigued now. What a level beyond the date-related print of the previous!!!

The pre-release single "Turing Machine" from Jabun's upcoming "Generation Supernova" album is OUT! Pre-orders are now open on Bandcamp + more Patreon rewards are out in celebration! "Generation Supernova" releases on April 15th 2021!


Hi everyone and hope you’re having a great March so far! After last week’s big announcement of Jabun’s brand new 3rd album “Generation Supernova”, I’m super excited to share with you today the album’s pre-release single “Turing Machine” as pre-orders open on Bandcamp! Check it out below:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyXiy8MPAlk


Pre-order Jabun’s Generation Supernova album and pick up the pre-release single “Turing Machine” on Bandcamp:


https://jabun.bandcamp.com/album/generation-supernova


Generation Supernova is a 37+ minute collection of 4 tracks exploring generative music methods in the studio. Each track utilises a carefully designed system set up to generate a never-repeating and ever evolving soundscape which was conducted and guided to build an emotional and developing journey from the first note to the last.


The pre-release single “Turing Machine” utilises 4 evolving sequences generated using an initial input fed into a deck of cards and a coin flip acting as a very basic modular synth style Turing Machine. You can see the original handwritten manuscript including the sequences, generation rules, and more in this album’s bonus materials on Bandcamp and Patreon!


Generation Supernova was a fun and rewarding exploration into generative music methods, with each piece very much the result of the unexpected fruits of conducted chaotic experiments in the studio, much like the 15-4-20 album. Whether you sit down to listen intently, have it on in the background while doing something else, or simply immerse yourself in the sounds, I hope you enjoy these semi-ambient, generative experimental soundscapes, from the strange early months of 2020.


Now that pre-orders are open, you can also check out the full tracklist, album credits, special thanks and descriptions on the Jabun – Generation Supernova Bandcamp page! Read more below and I hope you have fun exploring:


https://jabun.bandcamp.com/album/generation-supernova


Generation Supernova will be released to the public on April 15th at 8pm BST, but of course my supporters on Patreon have lots of rewards to grab today in celebration of this new album and single launch!


For the $1 patrons, you’ve got the album cover art and an mp3 download of the pre-release single “Turing Machine” today + you’ll of course be getting the full mp3 album and all the additional artwork and bonus materials when they’re released on April 15th as well! Only a month more to wait!


$1 rewards: https://www.patreon.com/posts/46779666/


For the $5 & $10 patrons, in case you missed it last week, you’ve already been given early access to the full album download package! All 4 tracks (Mp3 & WAVs) and all artwork including a high resolution scan of the original handwritten Turing Machine Generation Manuscript! For the $10 patrons, you’ll also be getting an exclusive unreleased Jabun demo from the writing sessions of 2019/2020! Check out the rewards below:


$5 rewards: https://www.patreon.com/posts/46779658/

$10 rewards: https://www.patreon.com/posts/46779661/


If any of that sounds good to you, then become a patron today for as little as $1 a month and remember that you’ll be also getting access to all past rewards for your tier including the full Better Than The Book and Jabun discographies, many Patreon exclusive bonus tracks and more! I hope to see you there!


Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/NickStanding

This really turned out awesome! :D Seems to sound like it looks too, goes well with the cover.


Also sounds familiar, but I can't really place the similarity... feels like it'd work perfect for a dystopian sci-fi like track. Blade Runner? GITS? Some similar franchise with a soundtrack that sounds somewhat like this...? Really atmospheric.

Cheers CD! Purely coincidental but it does have similarities to one of the tracks from the GITS Stand Alone Complex sountracks "fish ~ silent cruise". Definitely a lot of Yoko Kanno inspiration in my works as of late (though much of it is still unreleased) :) I do love my atmospherics XD

Ah that one's close indeed on the latter part! That mysterious synth in particular had me in a state of deja vu too though, maybe some long-forgotten eighties action movie familiarity mixed in hmm... anyway whether conscious influences or no it's an awesome mixture.

Cheers again CD! The only other thing I could think of influence-wise, though not that much, is the beginning Tubular Bells Pt 1 by Mike Oldfield more just from the minimilasm/repetition/developement point of view :) Interested to know if you do stumble upon what it remineded you of :D

Ahh the same theme used for The Exorcist back in the day! :D That might've been a part of the deja vu too then, though I don't think that's it either... since it was used in such a classic movie I suppose plenty of other ones might've been inspired by the same though, maybe one of those... will do if I do for sure, though maybe not likely I'll stumble upon it at random...

It's Bandcamp Friday again and the best time to pre-order Jabun's Generation Supernova album (releases April 15th)!


Hi everyone and hope you're having a great start to April!


It's once again Bandcamp Friday and in case you're not familiar with it, in support of musicians impacted by the coronavirus, Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share fees on the first Friday of the month from midnight to midnight Pacific Time, meaning that if you purchase anything from Bandcamp this Friday 2nd of April, the artists you support (including myself) will get more of the sales revenue than usual since Bandcamp doesn't take its cut, and you'll be able to support the music you love more directly than ever on the platform!


If you've been itching to pre-order Jabun's upcoming "Generation Supernova" album (which releases April 15th) or pick up one of my other albums as Jabun or Better Than The Book, now's the best time to do so! Check out the Bandcamp pages below and thanks again for supporting my music in any way you can, it really means a lot:


Better Than The Book

https://betterthanthebook.bandcamp.com/


Jabun

Nick Standing (< The sillier old stuff)

And if you're not sure whether it's Bandcamp Friday in your time-zone, you can check using the tool right here:


https://isitbandcampfriday.com/


That's it for this post, and with only 2 weeks left until Generation Supernova's release I'm sure the next few weeks are going to be busy ones for me! Meanwhile I've just started recording guitars for Better Than The Book's 3rd full-length album too, so look forward some more ska / pop-punk vibes coming your way soon! Until the album launch, I hope you have a great April and thanks as always for supporting my music in all the ways you can! Take care!

Join me on Thursday 15th April at 8pm BST for the launch of Jabun's 3rd album "Generation Supernova" on YouTube!


Hi everyone and hope you're having a great April so far!


It's only 3 more days until Jabun's 3rd album "Generation Supernova" is finally released to the world, and I've just opened the premier page for the launch on my HurpADervish YouTube channel! Come join me for the countdown, a chat and the short launch announcement teaser video at 8pm BST on Thursday 15th April if you can make it, and hope to see some familiar faces there!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNchnK_emj4


Generation Supernova will be released to the world as soon as the premier starts, and you can read all about it (credits, track descriptions, special thanks, and more) on the Bandcamp page where you can listen to the pre-release single "Turing Machine" and pre-order the album now. Check it out below if you haven't had a chance already:

That's it for this post and I hope you're as excited as I am for the big launch on Thursday! No doubt it'll be a busy week for me sorting out the final checks and preperations for the release but I can't wait to show all this music to you! Until then, hope you have a great week to come and thanks as always for supporting my music in all the ways you can! Take care, all the best, and see you at the premier!

Jabun's 3rd album "Generation Supernova" has been released! Patreon rewards are out in celebration + an exclusive unused unreleased demo from the writing sessions for Better Than The Book's upcoming 3rd album for the $10+ patrons!


Hi everyone and hope you’re having a great April so far! Today I’m super excited to finally release my 3rd album as Jabun – Generation Supernova! Check out the album teaser video below:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNchnK_emj4

(Featured music: “Deep Space” – Jabun)


And listen to and pick up Jabun’s Generation Supernova album now on Bandcamp:



https://jabun.bandcamp.com/album/generation-supernova


Generation Supernova is a 37+ minute collection of 4 tracks exploring generative music methods in the studio. Each track utilises a carefully designed system set up to generate a never-repeating and ever evolving soundscape which was conducted and guided to build an emotional and developing journey from the first note to the last.


(SKIP THE FOLLOWING FOR A SPOILER FREE EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU LISTEN)


Track 01 – Supernova utilises 2 short free-time recordings of Rhodes piano performances which were then duplicated and layered playing at different harmonic and sub-harmonic pitches/speeds either forwards, backwards, or bouncing between both, with some added echo for extra ambience and polyrhythms. Each layer was faded in or out to build and reduce the intensity of the composition throughout its duration. The title Supernova was chosen to reflect the feelings this track brings to me, a great expansive explosion of sounds gradually fading out much like the astronomical phenomenon; beauty with hints of sadness, and later something else.


Track 02 – Deep Space utilises 2 random arpeggiators each given a set of notes to choose from and told to play a note at a consistent regular interval, the first once per quarter note (at 100 BPM) and the second, once per second (60 BPM), along with a randomly triggered note-repeater leading to more interesting polyrhythms. Beneath this is a short free-time performance which was then duplicated, reversed and played back at 2 (sub)-harmonic pitches/speeds. The piece develops with an improvised synth melody (later returning in reverse) as well as a programmed drum machine performance. Unlike the warmth of Supernova, Deep Space feels cold and isolated to me, the persistent ticking of time, that feeling of drifting perhaps aimlessly reflected in the improvised synth and its subsequent return. Nevertheless, the regular beat of the drums keep marching on.


Track 03 – Turing Machine utilises 4 evolving sequences generated using an initial input fed into a deck of cards and a coin flip acting as a very basic modular synth style Turing Machine. You can see the original handwritten manuscript including the sequences, generation rules, and more in this album’s bonus materials. These 4 generated sequences were then arranged for synthesizers to create an intensely building track accompanied by multiple layers of random arpeggiated heavily distorted electronic drums/percussion, additional orchestral and electronic percussion, as well as a carefully arranged string orchestration developing on one of the Turing Machine sequences for added harmonies and tension. The hypnotic and minimalistic atmosphere of Turing Machine reflects the relentless and driving inorganic computations and calculations I’d expect from a complex machine, and being based around a Turing Machine inspired set-up, the title seemed rather appropriate.


Track 04 – Voyagers utilises 2 instances of an 8 note looping sequence, the first consisting of 32 steps, and the second only using 31 steps (shortening the final note), resulting in a gradually phase shifting relationship between them throughout the piece in a similar way to Steve Reich’s Piano Phase. These sequences were then arranged for string orchestra and pipe organ on opposite sides of the stereo field, gradually building the piece by adding additional instruments and layers at harmonic/sub-harmonic pitches as well as additional glitching sounds using randomised arpeggiators, another set of phasing sequences for synthesizer, and additional percussion. The two phasing sequences which form the basis of the track, I like to think of as representing the twin Voyager space probes launched to explore interstellar space, each on their own undoubtedly lonely, but unfathomably awe-inspiring journeys into the unknown. Even as they explore further than humans might ever reach physically, no matter how far apart they drift, they’ll always be connected by their origin on our small blue planet.

A well assembled; selective assortment of vibrant tunes that complement each other nicely! Spacey and/or sci-fi vibes with all of them to some extent, though especially the last one. Supernova seems maybe a bit more Earthy, like following the clouds on a summer day, like the cover... in a way it's like you transition from ground to space as you listen through...


Turing Machine really stands out amidst the calmer ones too. Like a press through the atmosphere at that stage of ^ journey. Think I appreciate a little chaos with the ambiance... at least this kind; at this time. :P Definite favorite there right now.


Appreciably in-depth track descriptions too! This really turned out nice.

Ah man! Thanks so much for such an in depth insight and super happy the album evoked those visuals to you :) Always interesting to hear how people interpret these more abstract tracks. Turing Machine seems to be the standout favourite from peeps so far, so you're not alone there XD Super happy you enjoyed it, and thanks for listening!
