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 […]

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.

Continuing the same process. This time the effects are filtered echoes and the reverb from Gasverket here in Stockholm. 2005-09-06

Same setup as yesterday, I just changed the processing on the track. This one is about echoes and standing waves. 2005-09-05

This is yesterday’s track run through a set of moving resonators and then put into the Cistern. I just can’t resist making things blurry. 2005-09-04 I’m using Altiverb instead of Rayverb for the Cistern reverb because it can handle the 44 second decay much better.

Similar process as before, just with very different results. This also began with a single note run through a variety of MIDI processors. 2005-09-03

Some more modifications of the effects chain and I placed it all in Domkyrkan this time. The is probably the end of this series because I’ve hit a brick wall with my computer. The creation of this track keeps crashing Cubase. Serves me right for using so much beta software. 2005-09-02

This set of sequences is turning out to be more about taking the same structures and sounds and altering them through the processing. I’ve added an infinite delay with modulation to yesterday’s track. I also boosted the level of the oboe. I’m really pushing the limits of my six-year-old G4 here.2005-09-01 By the way, this […]
