Voice through EHX Stereo Memory Man and Zoom RFX-300. Slightly different arrangement from usual, with only one output from EHX to Zoom, with the other going directly to the recorder, as well as the stereo pair from the Zoom. Submitted to Sound…
Wasn't really planned that way, but listening to the completed piece made me think this could be what our little avian buddy on Mars might sound like to the locals. Same set-up as Kowanakita, but sound source is trombone. Also submitted to Sound…
One of those pieces that starts off short and simple, then after going through various modifications ends up like this. Original sounds are from a Roland SE-02 of a randomly varying repeated pattern; the mono sound file was copied exactly and…

Combination of a test recording with clarinet, and an irregular beat sequence discovered on my Roland SE-02. The clarinet track was slowed slightly in order to match the time lengths of the two. Submitted to Sound-In for 11-18/3/2021, A Moment…
Clarinet played into an empty tube that formerly held a bottle of Scotch, which may have had some unconscious influence on the rough melodic form. Picked up by two contact mics into a Zoom H4n recorder. Submitted to Sound-In for 26/2-4/3/2021.

First of three pieces made from the same original material; short bursts of sound from a cheap harmonica. Nine of these bursts were selected from the original recording, each of slightly different length. Each was then time-stretched by the same…
cool experiment the stretching and time resolution are really important to the final sound the echoes seem separate from other things --- was thinking there should be no null points --- because of the echoes going on-- how does the interactions work?
Straight off the floor - or at least out of the Roland SE-02 on my lap. No editing or processing of any kind. The title is an acronym for Repetition Is A Form Of Change, one of the cards in Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. Submitted…
Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300. Title comes from a combination of the time length, and the fact that it was created for the current Sound-In for 1-7/1/2021.

Excellent greatness.. It is a song that brings me back to the effects in phase and out of phase blips and bliggies .. It's the squibbly bliggies that started to loose the phases that were happening when I knew a Roland was grooving... This reminds me of how I make sounds as well. Minute 10:35 it's like birds. At about 13 minutes in the aliens seem to check in..and then leave but returned at 14 minutes in.. Chipmunks at 17 minutes in are neat maybe more of that?? It's phasing in & out as it does all the way to the end.
This started out life as a single mono track created on a Gakken SX-150 Mk II, which was then duplicated and echo applied to each individual track in Audacity; 0.015 seconds left, 0.016 seconds right. The two were then run through all sorts of…

This started its cosmic journey in a toy piano. Through several steps of processing it came to where it is now. Partly in dedication to the (at this moment) imminent Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, and also in homage to the recently departed…
due to the sparsity of the soundscape here on this --- I am also playing --- the song Itza Hitt.. mmm I started it a little into this playing there is a possible mash going on--- but I have to hear the next two song variants before making a mash-
Drumming on the skin of what was supposed to, and may yet, be some type of guimbri-type instrument if I can get around to putting strings on it. First with a soft mallet, then with regular drumsticks. Submitted to Sound-In "Percussion" for 3-9…
A stretched glissando on trombone. No other alteration. Named after this fellow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffing_Billy_(locomotive)
Submitted to Sound-In for 5-12/11/2020.
Another recording onto the MT4X cassette machine. This time the source was: Casio DH100 -> Roland SE-02 -> Behringer V-Amp2 -> Lexicon LXP-5. Due to various delays, it has the structure of a musical round based on a very simple melody…
Voice into EHX Voice Box on Unison/Whistle setting, into EHX Stereo Memory Man. Submitted to Sound-In "Within and Without the Loop (of Time)" for 8-15/12/2022.
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.
Title inspired by the symmetrical nature of the piece. The original recording was the sound of striking various parts of a gourd bowl (a round bowl-like thing made by cutting the bottom from a dried gourd of some sort - I don't know, it was given…
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

John (February 21, 1911 – September 30, 2055) was an American pretzel salesman. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated pretzel, "Double Garlic…
Thanks, Bill, but as you've probably noticed, with my style of playing a perfect - or eve proper - embouchure is not all that critical. Either that or my horn is very forgiving. Since I'm not trying to play particular notes or melodies, anything that doesn't quite work as intended merely becomes part of the piece in a different way.
Took a walk up to the local creek to try playing with some late-night bullfrogs (about 10pm). Kept to just playing short bursts, as arhythmically as possible. Submitted to Sound-in for 10-13/7/2019.

Thanks! Experimental is my main thing. This is about as close as I get to an actual "tune".
Very cool....I like the experimental feel of it. The Scotch bottle is an awesome technique!!!

Nice one!
the heavy flanging is a treat! I'll diverge from Bill and say its bigger birds at 14:00. this is cool!

I actually have another one, but it isn't working properly. Have to get it fixed someday.
I love my Gakken!

Nice one!
Nice Jim - growing density of the loops becomes very natural.

Nice gradual evolution of the timbre, Jim.
A drifty, dreamy piece. Nice work, Jeff!!
Wow! Lots of nice things happening in there!
Sure sounds like a load of fun being had!!

Nice one, Jeff! Appropriate for the upcoming "festivities", it has a rather spooky edge.
Nice one, Jim! Definitely got a jazzy undertone going on.
Thanks, Bill. The main reason for giving details of production is so that I can remember what I did later on!
Close enough to the original to be faithful, yet with enough difference to have its own personality. Superbly played!
Thanks, Jeff!!

Lotsa nice twists in that pretzel!!
Sounds like something I might've done with my fretless, back in the old tape days. Lovely!!

Ha ha!

Ha ha, yes of course! Wasn't thinking of that at the time, but it is appropriate.
