Kazoo (from The Bob Moog Foundation) with loads o' reverb. Submitted to Sound-In "In Six" for 1-7/6/2023.

Played on an earthenware ocarina from Mexico, with much added reverb. Submitted to Sound-In "Kukulcan" for 4-11/5/2023.

Strange though it may seem, this was actually made with the one string crutch. Effects were: EHX Voice Box (vocoder setting) -> EHX Stereo Memory Man (one output fed to the instrument input of the Voice Box) -> Zoom RFX-300 (one channel…

The second egg slicer guitar piece, with different effects. Also submitted to Sound-In "Vista-rama" for 14-21/4/2023.

First of two pieces using what I refer to as my "egg slicer guitar" because it is an electronic toy guitar that has what look like six metal strings, but are in fact just one piece of wire that is looped around posts at either end and sound like…

Mash-up of Coelocanth's "Fool's Errand" with a recording I'd made some time ago attempting to recreate a part of Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain". It was necessary to slow the tempo Coelocanth's track ever so slightly to even out the length, but…

Three different tracks of The Crutch run through the EHX Voice Box. No post-processing. Lots of high screechy sounds, rather appropriate for this week's Sound-In "Fingers down a chalkboard" event, 10-16/3/2023.

Another track from the same Gakken/SMM/RFX system as the previous one. Also submitted to Sound-In, but this time "Conducting Ourselves" 23/2 - 2/3/2023.

Gakken SX-150 mark II into Stereo Memory Man into Zoom RFX-300. All sorts of odd sounds from the Gakken, manipulated by the two effects units, with some final reverb added in Audacity. Submitted to Sound-In no theme for 17-23/2/2023.

Another Lo-fi recording of tenor sax using an old pair of broken headphones (just the headband, not the drivers). No after-effects. Submitted to Sound-In "DISCORDant" for 9-16/2/2023.

Lo-fi recording of tenor sax using an old pair of broken headphones (just the headband, not the drivers). No after-effects. Submitted to Sound-In "DISCORDant" for 9-16/2/2023.

An audio haiku, with subsequent variations using various effects plug-ins and editing. Submitted to Sound-In "Haiku music..." for 13-20/1/2023.

The title phrase, double looped (by an EHX Stereo Memory Man) and effected (by an EHX Voice Box); some words repeated for rhythmic consistency. One loop is very slightly shorter than the other, causing phase alteration which gives rise to not…

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.

Two independently recorded tenor sax tracks, each processed by an EHX Voice Box, panned left and right. A third, centre, track was made by combining the two, subjecting that to noise reduction using the entire file as the template, adding reverb…

One more crutch piece, with different effects settings. Submitted to Sound-In "Music for the Thanksgiving Turkey" 24/11-1/12/2022.

The old one-string wooden crutch again, this time through an EHX Voice Box into EHX Stereo Memory Man. Submitted to Sound-In "Music for the Thanksgiving Turkey" 24/11-1/12/2022.

Two different small-size guitars; one a "proper" electric with microtonal frets in the top half of the fingerboard, the other a toy but with metal strings tuned to the same scale as an egg slicer. Two different recordings of each, all through…

Sounds of breathing, mediated by passing through a very clapped-out cornet without a proper mouthpiece; a little reverb added in post. Submitted to Sound-In "Foggy" for 3-10/11/2022.

Solo, unaltered dizi (Chinese bamboo flute) in a slightly reverberant location. Submitted to Sound-In "Foggy" for 3-10/11/2022.
