Sound source is The Crutch (gotta think up a better name, but that'll do for now), which is an old wooden crutch where the bottom part can swivel, and a guitar string is attached going from one of the height-adjustment screw holes up to the hand…

A muchly modified recording of a stringed device that may someday be made into a sort of aeolean harp if'n I can get the parts (tuners, mainly). At the moment, it's just four brass-wound strings hanging from the improvised bridge that was originally…

Thought I'd give this piece the same title as the Sound-In event (3-10/3/2022) to which it was submitted, since, entirely by accident, it came out sounding like that phrase being repeated continuously if you use your imagination enough.

Test recording of voice modified by a EHX Voice Box on vocoder setting; the modulating signal is the sound from a one-string instrument made from an old crutch. Post production involved adding two copies of the original mono track, panned slightly…

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…

A bit of audio plasticity here, in that I've taken the sounds from Not Just Dreaming and run them through various effects processes to give this little ditty. Also submitted to Sound-In “Dreaming About Plastic Noises” for 13-20/01/2022.

Percussing a bunch of plastic objects, destined for the recycling bin but making one more contribution before they go. Played with a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks, until the dropping of one brought the piece to a somewhat premature end…

Solo tenor sax. Originally I was going to leave it plain, but then thought that some reverb would give it more of a dream-like feel. Submitted to Sound-In "Dreaming of Music" 6-13/1/2022.

A combination of two very different recordings. One is the sound of a very old console radio desperately trying to work, that has been sped up several times; the other is a collection of vocal noises run through effects. Submitted to Sound-In…

Two separate recordings layered on top of one another: a large metal tray being struck by a soft percussion mallet, and a window with wind blowing through the frame from a storm outside. No alteration was made to the tray recording; of the window…

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…
