Here's some more phasing loops, placed in Laukyrkan. 2005-09-26

Just some sounds moving through Gasverket. Inspired by Morton Feldman, but sounding more like David Tudor. 2005-09-25

Some slow phasing loops placed in the ballroom at Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm. The notes for the melodies were chosen for how they triggered resonances in the reverb. I used Rayverb for this one because it is much more "tweakable." 2005-09-24

Continuing with the hand-made approach. This is a variation on yesterday's piece. 2005-09-23

Continuing with the "hand made" approach. Once again, no generative processes here, just me playing with sounds. 2005-09-22 On this track, I'm using the amazing Crystal synth plugin from Green Oak software. Even more amazing - it's free. Their Delayifier plugin is buried in this track somewhere as well.

No loops, no feedback, no self-modulating processes on this one. Just me improvising with the cistern. 2005-09-21

I changed the order of some of the processors and came up with this. 2005-09-20

Same basic setup as the last few, but the tempo is faster, and it hasn't been placed in any sort of acoustic space. This is just the pure feedback and delays in all their glory. 2005-09-19

And now we're in Caen. 2005-09-18

This is turning into a French series. Today the feedback machine travels to Rouen. 2005-09-17

I'm really happy that I can do this in real time now, and I really like the feedback machine is doing, so I'm sticking to the process for a bit longer and playing around with spaces. This one is in the cathedral at Rouen. 2005-09-16

I decided to upgrade my computer, so now I can hear all this stuff in real time. I have now upgraded my 6 year old G4 to 1.7 Ghz and it makes all the difference in the world. I haven't been able to make the commitment to a G5 yet, and this old box has sentimental value to me. Anyway, here's the latest feedback piece: 2005-09-15

Same connections as yesterday, I just adjusted levels and put it all in a different space in the end. I'm flying blind with these, all the effects are overloading my computer's processor by about 200%, so this is electronic music done in the old-fashioned way - you set up some programs, make some guesses, start the process running and come back later to hear the results. In this case, I only have to wait about 5 minutes, not 24 hours. 2005-09-14

Continuing with the same set up as the last two days. This time, I've added some more conventionally musical elements. I think it makes it sound a little ominous. 2005-09-13

Taking yesterday's setup and making it slower. It's in Gasverket now, because today is a work day after all. 2005-09-12

Feedback and delays heavily modulated and then fed into Domkyrkan, because it is Sunday after all. 2005-09-11

Back into the cistern with the ebow. I was going after a "half-heard" feeling here, trying hard to make it just about the reverb and not the notes. 2005-09-10

A snake eating its tail. Everything is modulating everything else in this one and then stuck in a huge space. 2005-09-09 By the way, this is probably the only time I will ever use granular synthesis. It doesn't make me nauseous the way that ring modulation does, but it comes pretty close. I only used it this time because this application of it doesn't sound like someone trying to pull a nail out of a knothole.

Returning to the sequence track for the moment. This one is placed in Laukyrkan on Gotland. It makes use of frequency shifting, mult-tap delays and frequency distortion. 2005-09-08

This was a tricky one for me - other than the 45 second reverb from the cistern, there are no effects, no loops, no special processes. Just me, my strat and my ebow. 2005-09-07 I've just been informed that this site has been nominated in the category of "Best Podcast" for Deutsche Welle's "BOB" awards.
