Formed sheet metal front edging from old shelves that were in my apartment unit. Played by bowing with the Jim-bow and recorded on a Zoom H6. The motorcycle appearance at the crescendo was entirely coincidental. The title was inspired by the old…

Background drone is one of the saved "sequences" on my Roland SE-02 synth, likely from its original owner. The plucked string sound is also from the SE-02, but triggered via MIDI by a Casio DH-100 and played while the drone was running. These…

The result of twiddling around with the knobs while a short sequence (not of my making, but randomised using that feature in the player) was running. Submitted to Sound-In "Hyperspace Music Commission from the Future" for 13-20/6/2024.

Made from two different improvisations on tenor saxophone, through an EHX Voice Box; recorded shortly after the tests that produced Shaded Meaning. One of the tracks was about half the length of the other, so I reversed it and placed it at the…

Sometimes, just a bunch of rubbish from a soundcheck can be used to create something interesting. In this case, setting up to record tenor sax (with a tin-foil pie plate covering the bell), some microphone taps, and a bit of vocalising, most with…

Recorded way back (early '80s?) on open reel tape. The mumbly voices are from whatever was recorded on there before, as it was a former CBC Radio tape. The "instrument" is one of those little slicers for hard-boiled eggs. Submitted to Sound-In…

Field recording modified by using the entire recording as a template for noise reduction. The remaining sound was surprisingly melodic, and includes birdsong (mourning dove and sparrows most prominent), passing light aircraft, emergency siren…

Punny title to hint at the sound origin; the sounds left on a reel of tape (or in this case, two different ones) after it has undergone a bulk-erase procedure - placing it on a device that creates a strong electromagnetic field that scrambles…

You always come up with inventive ways to generate sound and I admire that - this is quite cool as it sounds underwater to me.
Four different tracks of Roland SE-02 controlled via MIDI by a Casio DH-100. Choosing different voices on the Casio causes settings to change on the Roland, which were then tweaked a little. Submitted to Sound-In "Roleplay Improv" for 1-8/2/2024.

I really like doing things between midi instruments made by totally different companies.. I do it with my novation supernova II and my microkorg xl it's just a matter of learning to ways that the midi signal is mapping back and forth...
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.
