I used two feedback machines triggered by the the same piano note. Then I convolved both the left and right outputs of the two feedback machines and fed that back into the feedback machines. I then ran that into a resonating multitap delay and then through another multitap delay with analog tape modeling. I stuck […]

Lather, rinse, repeat. 2005-10-11

Same setup as yesterday, but I’ve tweaked all the processors and put the whole mix into the cistern. 2005-10-10

Another self-generating feedback piece. This is all generated by a single note on the piano. There are filtering delays, multitap stereo delays, MIDI delays and arpeggiators, pitch shifters and feedback networks at work here. And it all goes into the acoustic space of Laukyrkan with its standing waves. 2005-10-09

This is the same approach as yesterday, I just switched the source and filter tracks. The result is quite different. 2005-10-08 Also, by doing five of these, I’ve broken the symmetry with the “Symmetry” series, so this is truly asymmetrical.

I’m finding many different ways to combine these two tracks. This time I’m convolving the two tracks – basically the spectral information from one track controls the frequency information of the other, or as Wikipedia puts it, “In mathematics and in particular, functional analysis, convolution is a mathematical operator which takes two functions f and […]

I took the output of the last two days and laid them on top of each other out of sync. I’m pleased with the way they work together. 2005-10-06

This is based on the same processes and structures as yesterday with a bit of fiddling and different instruments. 2005-10-05

Getting away from the highly structured approach of the last few days and back to my usual disorder. This is a looping piece, sort of. There are loops, buy they’re slightly different each time they show up. There’s also lots of simulated tape saturation in this to give it a bit of a 1970’s sound. […]

Exploring further on the same track. I’ve thinned it out a little bit, having each instrument rest for a few bars determined by a bilaterally symmetrical pattern. 2005-10-03
