As the sun sets on 100 days, I am looking forward to spending some time revamping my performance system, and experimenting a bit more with some new sampling ideas that I’ve come up with over the course of the project.Thanks for listening.
A somewhat dizzying state at the end of long haul. As of last week, I was supposed to be done on Sunday, but here I have taken the whole weekend as a break, and now I am finding myself confronted with a somewhat substantial writer’s block for s
As our program comes to a close, you may find yourself browsing for other stations, and perhaps discovering some uncanny emotion in the static between bands.
Slightly off-schedule again, and as a result, a morning jam. Experimenting with no-input cables as a means of producing old-vinyl-like sounds, and exercising in sparseness.
A remix of sorts; yesterday’s disquiet track distilled through granulation and repetition. Synthesized by looping the melody through a few different patches, and then processed/performed with Block Party.
Another junto, happily. The prompt: loop a melody, and remove one or more notes each pass through the loop. I came up with a somewhat longer melody, so I decided to cap the loops to 4 passes, to keep the length within reasonable range of the 45
Number 92. A continuation of the refinement of block party tones. As with last time, the idea started far from the destination. A memento of the adventure, rather than a documentary of the journey.
10 more days. It’s remarkable how much lighter the source material for this one was than the final output. Blues gone dead. Perhaps a lighter rendition of the guitar parts tomorrow.
thinking of a texture, and a color.. a (possibly now tired) blending of the traditional (fingerpicking) and the modern (granulated loops)the past week or so, I’ve been focusing on practicing with the block party rig, and trying to get more ad
A track for the Junto. I’ve been meaning to do at least one of these since starting the 4500. I had some deeper ideas for how to manipulate some of the granular stuff into beats, but I both ran out of time, and found the layered modified tones
Fell off the wagon again yesterday. Life tasks are taking time and space, and the music making is more stressful than relaxing these past weeks. The home stretch is here, but it’s the hardest. 17 more days after this.
Today was one of those days where I really just didn’t feel like doing it. I’m still waiting on stable internet at home, so I was backlogged in posting tracks from the previous two days (they were finished on schedule, but not posted). After al
An optimistic foil to yesterday’s. This one actually felt like it could use some cohesive rhythm, but I still haven’t quite figured out the tech of incorporating rigid rhythmic elements into the rig. It’s a pretty blatant violation of the timin
