I'm starting a series of feedback studies using the feedback machine and a variety of processes before and after. They'll all be feed into a computer recreation of the Ft. Worden cistern in Washington State in the US. Thanks to Dave Gamper for helping me with that. 2005-07-01
I took the results from yesterday and used it to trigger the feedback process. 2005-07-02
And once again: 2005-07-03
Continuing with the same method. 2005-07-04
The last in the series. 2005-07-05
This is a phasing piece. I created a very simple melody using a very, very simple synth patch and then recorded it 10 times, each time reducing the beat per minute of the track by 1. 2005-07-06
Took the same melody and process from yesterday, used a simpler synth patch and put it in just intonation. 2005-07-07
I took the tracks from the last two days and convolved them. It's starting to turn into a nice wash of tones. 2005-07-08
This is based on the interactive web instrument on this site called "Web Phases." Thanks to Michael Johnston from my old band for the drum tracks he recorded for me all those years ago. 2005-07-09
Another track based on the Web Phases material. This one is a bit quieter. 2005-07-10
Yet another track based on the Web Phases material, highly modified. 2005-07-11
Still using the Web Phases source material. Garageband was the tool on this one. It kind of feels like early 70s New York to me. 2005-07-12
Just a loop piece. 2005-07-13
Highly modified version of yesterday's track which was a little too sloppy
even for me. 2005-07-14
Continuing to work with the raw materials of the loop. This time using different
sounds and very different processing. 2005-07-15
The same, but different. 2005-07-16
Took the base material from the 15th and made it much denser. 2005-07-17
This is the end track for a short film I'm scoring. It uses the dialog track a source material for a series of transformations. 2005-07-18
By the way, my technical problems have been solved, and all the links should be back to normal.
I took the last two loops and convolved them, then used the output to feed a bunch of modulators. 2005-07-19
Same process as yesterday, the only difference is that the source and filter sounds for the convolving have been reversed. 2005-07-20
I took the last two tracks, flipped the phase on one of them and mixed them together at the same level. This has filtered out whatever was in common between the two and left only the differences. 2005-07-21
Getting further and further away from the source, I took the result from yesterday and used it to generate feedback. 2005-07-22
This time it's all feedback and delays. 2005-07-23
This is a duet between the feedback/delay machine and me on bass. 2005-07-24
Pretty simple - ebow guitar with pitch shifted delays and a long looping delay run into the acoustics of Lau Kyrkan and its standing waves. 2005-07-25
Same technical setup as yesterday, minus the EBow. This is sort of a blues in A minor, sort of . . . 2005-07-26
Just a variation on yesterday's setup, the EBow is back. It's really difficult not to overplay, so I'm working on playing less. I still think I could be even more sparse, so I'll probably be working with this setup for a while. 2005-07-27
Still playing around with the setup, doing a few tweaks and trying it with a cello patch this time instead of using my guitar. 2005-07-28
Once again exploring the same process. 2005-07-29
For the next two weeks I'll be exploring "pure" ambience and posting a series of 60 second recordings of the sounds of the Stockholm archipelago. 2005-07-30
Some more rain and the sound of an empty flagpole. 2005-07-31
