Three different tracks of The Crutch run through the EHX Voice Box. No post-processing. Lots of high screechy sounds, rather appropriate for this week's Sound-In "Fingers down a chalkboard" event, 10-16/3/2023.

Gakken SX-150 mark II into Stereo Memory Man into Zoom RFX-300. All sorts of odd sounds from the Gakken, manipulated by the two effects units, with some final reverb added in Audacity. Submitted to Sound-In no theme for 17-23/2/2023.

Another Lo-fi recording of tenor sax using an old pair of broken headphones (just the headband, not the drivers). No after-effects. Submitted to Sound-In "DISCORDant" for 9-16/2/2023.

The second of 3 variations based on the folk melodies known as Carol of the Bells, this being the one almost entirely nothing like the source material

lap slide guitar, Vibraslide, delays, loops and reverbs. Seasonally spooky, for those scary monsters and super creeps...

wow. this is like those electric insects settings on my supernova II ,.. I don't remember the setting was in either the E set of 128 presets or the F set of presets It will take time to go back there and find that . I know I have played with that setting too and altered it lots I hope I did not loose the original setting by saving the new settings with the changes.. mmmm I guess I can go into my preset library on the desktop and find it --- probably easier then searching the synthesizer for the electric insect settings.. they did not call the setting electric insects but something similar.. thanks for making this --- really great loving this.

Thanks, Jeff! Yeah EHX are fond of throwing unexpected little quirks into their devices it seems. Not sure exactly how this one works, but it can really do some great unexpected things.

I can see the tea kettle chugging along the rails. Nice. I do believe it's the first time I've noticed "whistle" as an effects setting.

I work strictly in improvisation, on whatever sound-making device finds its way into my hands. Anything tuneful is usually accidental, though I do on rare occasions manage limited success when trying it deliberately. Electronics are a frequent component but there is also a fair amount of strictly acoustic material. For purchasing soundworks, some of which have appeared here, go to: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/

from Toronto (Trawna), CA
