Same process as yesterday, using yesterday’s track as the trigger, with another moving filter and a reverb added. 2005-05-10 For those of you who live in Sweden, Denmark, Norway or Switzerland, Apple’s iTunes Music store is now available to you.

Continuing in the same vein. I took yesterdays track and used it as the source material for the feedback machine I created. I tweaked the parameters a bit and came up with this. My wife thinks it sounds like a Doctor Who soundtrack. 2005-05-09

More experiments in automated music. I set up the initial conditions with just a sine wave triggering everything. This one was done with a whole stack of Pluggo plugins feeding each other. I just have to step out of the way and let them do their thing. 2005-05-08

Very sleepy and dreamy. In many cases, I hope that you are able to forget that you are listening to these tracks while you are listening to them. 2005-05-05

Almost the same thing, without the randomness. 2005-05-04

This is the long, slow version with a big reverb, the original signal subtracted and a new, transposed version laid on top. Basically what you get is a reverb coming back in a different pitch. 2005-05-02

Same original material once again, but this time at the original tempo. I’m playing around with phase relationships and offsets as well as acoustic resonance. 2005-05-01
