From a little 4" reel of tape, this is the first attempt I made at using a Time Lag Accumulator set-up, where the tape is strung between two machines (in this case a Tandberg 3341X and a cheap Sears portable), with the initial sound recorded on…

Thanks, Bill. I obviously thought enough of it at the time to be a keeper, and have probably listened to it a few times since, but found even more to appreciate this time around. A week later, I recorded this with the same set-up: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/track/seeking-a-suitable-donor

A couple of recordings of a dripping bath tap. One was manipulated in Audacity to provide an altered sound but with a moment of silence in the middle, while the other was kept plain but with a long fade-in and -out. The reason was to provide…
One of a few vocal looping pieces using my favourite EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX300 effects boxes. Submitted to Sound-In "Finding a Way" event for 14-21/10/2021.
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…

This is a further modification of The Rise and Fall. It simply takes that piece and runs it through the phaser again, but with slightly different settings. Much more comlpexity ensues. Submitted to Sound-In "Wild Things" for 16-23/9/2021.

First of two modifications I made from recordings at a dam/waterfall east of Toronto, ON in March of 2021. The original recording was 2 minutes, so I stretched it to twenty, then ran it through the Audacity phaser on a reeealy slow LFO setting…
Sound source is Miss Hackbrett, a zither-like device constructed by a friend from the remains of an old door. It includes a contact mic for easy amplification. There are two separate sets of (guitar) strings, one all metal, the other nylon. Apart…

Metal object percussion; in this case, what appears to be the frame for a glass-top coffee table, oblong with rounded ends. Had it suspended on an outdoor plant hook with a contact mic where it sat on the hook; at the bottom end, a Sennheiser…

Originally recorded in 1996, this is an excerpt of a Time Lag Accumulation of sounds from a Roland JX-3P, with some backward voices (the tape was "liberated" from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation after its useful days were over and re-used…
I support the CBC liberation front! Definitely a unique soundscape here! I wonder what you and Bill Newbold could come up with in a collaboration. It might be fun!
Short snippet of a video chat with my sister in UK, repeated several times. The sounds are; chime from a clock, dogs barking. Recorded on a Zoom H6; no post processing of the sounds. Submitted to Sound-In "Aliens!" for 7-10/6/2021.
Not at all what it seems. Sounds were created by putting a small dynamic mic onto a little battery-powered amp to create feedback. This was then modulated by playing extremely high notes on a clarinet (using lower teeth to adjust reed pressure…
Haha! Decided to check Google translate to see if Fakawi existed in any language, as I'd just made it up for the title. Turns out it's a Maori word for state; not sure what meaning of that but like that it could mean the state of the weather.

Really nice James.
Thanks, Jeff!!
Seriously interesting.

I liked listening--- this instrument is great-
great sense of growing rhythm and a sound of strumming at times and electronic noise and then the wind... inventive Jim.

Great sound quality coming from my small Android phone.. Can't tell that is from an 80's tape..

OH ... yeah this is that alien sound trapped in a loop -- that works for me.
This is cool. It gives me ideas.
wow---

Not deleted, Bill, still have the original file. Might post it in a minute.
Thanks for doing that, Jim. Really liking the way it turned out.
Very nice, but all too brief. Reminds me of the short pieces on Eno's Another Green World album.

A sumptuous sonic stew. Thanks!!
