Antique trombone bell w/ flexible hose and improvised mouthpiece run through EHX Stereo Memory Man and Zoom RFX-300 effects. Submitted to Sound-In for July 12-13, 2018.
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.
Three broken cymbals, two metal barrel lids, three roto-tom frames, and a small decorative plate all played with a variety of strikers. Submitted to Sound-In, April 11-14, 2018
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
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.
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…
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.
I should add that this piece has also been uploaded to aporee.org if you want to see the exact location. radio aporee ::: maps - Taylor Creek Park, East York, ON, Canada
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…

Sounds like a movie without the picture.
Knarly sound extrapolations
Likin'it big time

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

Thanks! Experimental is my main thing. This is about as close as I get to an actual "tune".
I actually have another one, but it isn't working properly. Have to get it fixed someday.
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!
:D
Ha ha, yes of course! Wasn't thinking of that at the time, but it is appropriate.

Not deleted, Bill, still have the original file. Might post it in a minute.
