I decided to upgrade my computer, so now I can hear all this stuff in real time. I have now upgraded my 6 year old G4 to 1.7 Ghz and it makes all the difference in the world. I haven’t been able to make the commitment to a G5 yet, and this old box has […]

Quiet

Same connections as yesterday, I just adjusted levels and put it all in a different space in the end. I’m flying blind with these, all the effects are overloading my computer’s processor by about 200%, so this is electronic music done in the old-fashioned way – you set up some programs, make some guesses, start […]

Continuing with the same set up as the last two days. This time, I’ve added some more conventionally musical elements. I think it makes it sound a little ominous. 2005-09-13
Once more

Taking yesterday’s setup and making it slower. It’s in Gasverket now, because today is a work day after all. 2005-09-12

Feedback and delays heavily modulated and then fed into Domkyrkan, because it is Sunday after all. 2005-09-11

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

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.
Sequence 3.4

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