Took the same melody and process from yesterday, used a simpler synth patch and put it in just intonation. 2005-07-07

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

The last in the series. 2005-07-05

Continuing with the same method. 2005-07-04

And once again: 2005-07-03

I took the results from yesterday and used it to trigger the feedback process. 2005-07-02

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 put the track from the 22nd into a new version of the feedback machine. It's got lots of delays now and the feedback is using the didjeridoo control system to control itself. 2005-06-30

Same process as yesterday, just a different style. 2005-06-29

Getting back to my funk roots here. It's a little experiment in one-finger accompaniment. I used Virtual Guitarist, Groove Agent and Broomstick Bass. I never imagined I'd use any programs like those, but it's pretty fun, and the rhythm tracks they came up with are not bad. At least they don't talk back like real musicians. But on the other hand, they're not very good at telling jokes and they never buy a round. 2005-06-28

Spontaneous assembly of sounds from a kit. 2005-06-27

I figured out how yesterday's setup work, so I completely changed it. Here's a new approach to the control technology. 2005-06-26

I fiddled around a bit more with yesterday's track. This is more what I'm after with the control system. The only problem is - I have no idea how I got this to work. 2005-06-25

Having another go with the control system. 2005-06-24

Another migraine track. 2005-06-23

This is a test of a few things - I'm using JunXion from Steim to turn a game joystick into a MIDI controller. Its controlling a synth and some effects plugins. The other thing I'm testing is Soundflower, an audio routing program for the Mac. I'm using it to route the audio out of and back into Cubase in order to record the synth and effects on to separate audio tracks. I'm having to do all this because Cubase doesn't like the MIDI coming from JunXion and does strange thin

I just had to stick the strings into the feedback machine to see what happens. 2005-06-21

I can't help it, but whenever I do something with strings, I have to slow it way down and make it soft. 2005-06-20

A little formal dance music. 2005-06-19

Aliens have abducted my track. 2005-06-18
