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…

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. For purchasing soundworks, some of which have appeared here, go to: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/
