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…

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…

Whoa that's awesome love the dark ethereal sound!

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...

Three different versions of a similar line created using the onboard sequencer on a Roland SE-02. the different voices were created by changing settings on a Casio DH-100 digital horn attached via MIDI, and playing the horn. Submitted to Sound…

I kinda think that there is a lot more to learn about playing a saxophone 🎷 than what the Casio DH-100 would teach me.. although it was released in 1988 .. it's cool yours still works.. and quite well at that.. with a saxophone my problem is the wood reed buzzing that tickles my whole face.. I don't get that with my trombone.. but saxophones and clarinets the reed buzzing was very hard for me to make happen.. gosh I have over shared yet again lol 😆

Awesome detail Jim that occasionally has a frequency simulating vibration of the iPhone alert! Like the pixel like top voice that is waltzing in random.

This is the most unique use of a DH-100 that I know of!

Two different tracks recorded one after the other, no effects, and placed together to fit in with this week's (30/11 - 7/12/2023) Sound-In theme of "Weirdly random". Left track is the one-string crutch, the right is a plain old Hohner C harmonica…

Another three-track piece, with just the central voice (and in this case it actually is voice) being effected by the EHX Voice Box in vocoder mode. The other two parts are just straight sounds from a Roland SE02. Submitted to Sound-In "Strange…

Starting off sounding much different, this has undergone considerable transformation in Audacity to reach the form in which you hear it now. Drone from a window a/c unit and more jackhammering from the other side of our building.

I am always trying to recreate the sounds of a window a/c unit,.. sometimes I come close,.. I don’t know why I don’t just record my unit,.. ?? This is great 👍 ever so gradually increasing pitch,.. that’s perfect.. a kind of building to the peek but not a intense peek but it is a fade,.. again unexpected and excellent,..

Lots of loud noise going on with the refurbishment of the condo I live in, so thought I would haul out the horn and honk along. Been away for a couple of weeks working on a 50th anniversary restaging of David Tudor's Rainforest IV in Kingston…
