This is what should have happened yesterday. 2006-01-06

This is a recording of me trying to use my EBow as the battery runs out of juice. 2006-01-05

Still pursuing the possibilities in the harmonized loop setup I've been using for the past few days. This time the notes from the track from two days ago are being used to control a gate and a filter inserted into a mutating harmonic drone. 2006-01-04

Yes, yet another one of these. I'm just having so much fun playing with this setup. 2006-01-03

I took the setup from the last few days and stuck the feedback machine into it. I resulted in this, distorted, glitchy thing. I kind of like it. This will really get your subwoofer going. 2006-01-02

Same setup as yesterday, but this time I'm playing piano. 2006-01-01 By the way - Happy New Year!

I'm still exploring the harmonized guitar delays. This time I'm using a new effect plugin called Loopy Llama. It looks as if my Echoplex is now obsolete - this plugin can do everything it can, and a lot more. I'm using three of them on this track, two are creating phasing loops and the third is reversing the loop. 2005-12-31

This is using exactly the same setup as yesterday. This time I decided to mix EBow and picking. 2005-12-30

I'm really pleased with what I can do with the harmonizer/delay setup I've been using for the last few days. This time, it's with a very, simple, clean guitar line. 2005-12-29

After playing around with the effects settings from 2005-07-29, I decided to return to the track itself. This is a new version using additional harmonies, the reverb from the cathedral at Rouen and a slightly more complex delay structure. 2005-12-28

The effects setup from yesterday is quite fun to play with and I like it's simplicity. I've applied it to didjeridoo today without the looper (that's what circular breathing is for). I'm using my oldest didj today - I bought it almost exactly seven years ago on Charing Cross Road. It's mouthpiece is in need of more beeswax and until it's warmed up it's almost unplayable. Still, I like what I can do with it and it's got sentimental value as well. 2005-12-27

Since it's Boxing Day, we're having leftovers. This is the looping setup from last July 29th used for an EBow improvisation. I've adjusted it a bit so that the delays are harmonized before the go into the looper. 2005-12-26

Hope however you celebrate the return of the sun has been fun. 2005-12-25

Going a bit further down the same path. The configuration is identical to yesterday, just slower and a different style. This one took a long time to do because I was using so much processing. 2005-12-23

Almost the same configuration as yesterday, but all the parameters have been changed. I also added a bass track. 2005-12-22

Another attempt at combining automatic processes with a grove. In this case, I generated a very active, very noisy set of waveforms and then ran that through a gate and filter that were triggered by the drum track. 2005-12-21

Just another quick, fun little thing done with Garageband. 2005-12-20

Here's a little Garageband track I threw together just to have a bit of fun today. 2005-12-19

The tracks of the last few days have been very static. I've been aiming for that feeling for a while. I've been looking for a way to have lots of activity within a piece and have it feel like a slow drone at the same time. I think I'm getting there. Now it's time to take the next step. I thought it would be interesting to put a static track on top of a fairly active funk backing. This is the first result. 2005-12-18
