One of those things that could go on forever. A droning "sequence" (it just hits the one sound then freezes) that is open to all sorts of modification. I actually had this going overnight. Roland SE-02.

Multi-track aggregate of various kitchen implements, mostly as-recorded, but a couple of modified parts. What sounds like a drum is actually a slowed down metal spatula. Besides the spatula (heard on its own being struck against the heel of a…

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…

The result of twiddling around with the knobs while a short sequence (not of my making, but randomised using that feature in the player) was running. Submitted to Sound-In "Hyperspace Music Commission from the Future" for 13-20/6/2024.

Made from two different improvisations on tenor saxophone, through an EHX Voice Box; recorded shortly after the tests that produced Shaded Meaning. One of the tracks was about half the length of the other, so I reversed it and placed it at the…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

Throwing the leftovers of myself and Ben Smith together from this week's Sound-In "Leftovers After Thanksgiving" for 24-30/11/2023, and submitting them back for appraisal and tasting.

Modifications of three files found on an old phone. Submitted to Sound-in "Leftovers after thanksgiving; Dinner songs" for 24-30/11/2023.

Nothin' but the ol' tenor. No FX, no mods, no nuttin'. Just straight-up tenor sax in honour of its inventor's birthday. Hope you're having a great one Adolph, wherever you are!! Submitted to Sound-In "Whatevah" for 2-9/11/2023.

Created from a butt-dial phone message, with lots of Audacity effects. Submitted to Sound-In "Spooky Music" for 26/10-02/11/2023.

The SE-02 all on its own, with a sequencer patch running and on-board effects. Submitted to Sound-In "Strange Music Week" for 31/8 - 07/09/2023.

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…

Much modified tenor sax. Created from two different recordings, both using an EHX Voice Box effects unit on Vocoder setting, with output from a Roland SE02 as the modifying signal. The centre voice is unaffected in post, while the two backing…

Another excerpt from the Electric Eclectics sonic intervention by James Bailey and Matt Rogalsky; after the gong went silent, but the electrobeat remained, plus chatter from passers-by.

A short excerpt from a recording made by Matt Rogalsky of the two of us playing in a field at the Electric Eclectics (http://electric-eclectics.com/) festival near Meaford ON, at 1a.m. on August 6th. I played a Gakken SX 150 Mk II and he played…
