Recorded live to 4-track cassette, then live mixed to digital. Condenser mic -> V-Amp 2 (output 1) -> Lexicon LXP-5 -> Yamaha MT4X
" ( " 2) -> EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300 Yamaha MT4X
Tin whistles…
Same source as "Puffing Billy... " but stretched even more. The title is one of those that come from what I hear, in this case near the end of the piece.
Submitted to Sound-In for 5-12/11/2020.
Monophonic recording of a bowed balanced contact mic (two piezo elements glued onto a small piece of wood and connected to the hot and cold of an XLR mic cable) clamped onto the front of a small acoustic guitar body (no neck or strings).
this seems to be adding - to the other over powering sound I am hearing of the leaf blower outside at the neighbors place --- this song was winning out over the leaf blower though :)
Pink noise setting on Mini-Moog that seems to be malfunctioning slightly (sweeping sounds shouldn't happen). Effected by running it through noise reduction, the profile of which was taken from sounds of a tenor saxophone. Right channel is a reverse…
neat it is often a problem of mine that strange sounds are produced at time that I have no idea where they are coming from or what parameter is causing their creations but --- I too record that nonetheless :)
Jim first time I heard this last weekend event I think, I wasn't identifying the clarinet though as many of your 'outside the box' pieces, the inheritness of the vehicle will often be entirely different. In rehearing tonight the horn is very present to me albeit continuing to be beyond it. Dark and ghostly colors sir. Thank you btw for the comment on 'Pieces'. I wish Alonetone would allow replies but this is another way of doing it and spreading the listens.
First attempt at running a Mini-Moog through a Cry Baby wah-wah pedal. Sound setting was pink noise, with modulation added to the filter about half way through.
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.
nice.. don't lose that embouchure, I have lost mine. I am not willing to put the time in again to get it back.. since I have had a trombone again..--- you know it is not that I can't play the trombone .. it is that the sound is not like that of someone playing with an.. embouchure -- nice whisper like effects toward the end..
Ok, this now relatively short piece started out much longer; almost two hours. The sounds were obtained by placing two contact mics at different points around the rim of a circular light fixture in my apartment ceiling to get sounds created by…
Oh damn.. that’s what you mean by an effect on the neighbor sounds..I know I like this...before listening it is at the level of beyond random...with sound... just intense... why can’t my neighbors make sounds like this...
Straight recording of a little sound-maker thingy a friend put together for my birthday that is controlled by a photocell so yeah, I'm gonna play around with it.
I am really liking this artificial processed sounds going on. the song .. song builds to what it is. so very exact it is in a way .. scary but ---I like that in a song.. the machines are coming for us,, :--
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.

ahhh wonderful wonderous animal types--
great--- :)
James this is great. The close micing gives your sound and feel the haunt of the weekend. A natural compression.
Nice track.
cool!

Ah, a ballad!
nice. really nice.- I can't really hear the birthday tune too much at the end..
excellent stuff.---

This will tide me over until I sea you next. ;)

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!!
