More playing around with the joystick setup. I changed the synth patch on this one, other than that, everything else is the same. 2005-11-20

I don’t know about you, but I’m having lots of fun with these noises. I’m using a Junxion from STEIM (the old version) to control both a synth and a filter. Cubase lets me transform the MIDI input on different channels, so I can control more than one thing with the same gesture. There’s a […]

Another joystick piece. I’m starting to get a feel for the type of control that’s possible with this. 2005-11-18

I’m doing a bit more experimentation with using a game joystick as a MIDI controller. I’m going to follow this line for a while to try to discover what’s possible. Some of them will be more musical than others, but I’m having fun. 2005-11-17

Some more background ambience. Play this at an extremely low volume and just go about your day. 2005-11-16

Just a simple track full of seemingly random atmospherics. Actually, it’s not particularly random, I just worked hard to make it feel that way. All of the sounds were chosen for their harmonic richness, but they are hard to identify as specific notes. This is also a totally “pure” mix – no compressors, limiters, reverb, […]

This is a simple little piece that combines phasing lines and some random generation of sounds along with it. It fits well with this grey November day in Stockholm. 2005-11-14 I’ve reached the 3/4 point today. There’s only 92 more tracks to go. Now would be a good time to consider a donation.

Similar setup to yesterday, just a different sound source. Sort of an old si-fi movie vibe here. 2005-11-13

This is really an ambient track – just let it play in the background at a very low level. It’s a harmonic drone run through a filter that I’m controlling with a joystick. 2005-11-12

I took some of the feeling from yesterday’s track and tried another approach. This is based a little bit on some of the ideas found in Steve Reich’s works like “Piano Phase.” All the voices use the same motive, but half of them slow down in tempo each measure. 2005-11-11
