Darker
I took yesterday's setup and tweaked it just a bit to come up with something a little more ordered and darker in mood. 2006-01-19

Apollo and Dionysus
Here's a very structured piano and a cello that's all over the place. This was made with phasing loops, MIDI arpeggiation and a nice little program that forces all the notes into one key. That was necessary for the arpeggiator to stay in tune with the rest of the piece. 2006-01-18

Gilding the lily
I'm using the same looping and delay setup as I have been in the last few days, but this time the input is my didjeridoo. The reverb comes from Laukyrkan in Sweden. 2006-01-17

And another in the series. Besides feedback, these tracks have a lot of multitap delays and three instances of Loopy Llama, one of them running backwards. 2006-01-15

I'm pleased to announce that this project has led to another collaboration. The Austrian artist Evelin Stermitz has used the track 2005-09-16 as the soundtrack for her video art piece "Red Velvet." You can read more about her at her website.
