First of three modifications on 5-4; phaser effect in Audacity. Submitted to Sound-In "Percussion" for 3-6/12/2020.

Drumming on the skin of what was supposed to, and may yet, be some type of guimbri-type instrument if I can get around to putting strings on it. First with a soft mallet, then with regular drumsticks. Submitted to Sound-In "Percussion" for 3-9…

Four tracks of percussive sounds played on the body of a neckless, stringless miniature acoustic guitar, picked up by a balanced contact mic. That was fed into an EHX Voice Box on Vocoder mode which was combined with various signals from a Zoom…

The LP "5" by Genesis keyboard man Tony Banks is a double, but only 3 sides. The fourth side has some raised characters (most appear to be the number 5 in various scripts - 5, V, the rounded triangle of Arabic, etc.). They have fairly rounded…

Brief test of multi-track clarinet. No effects. Submitted to Sound-In for 19/11 - 2/12/2020.

Another recording onto the MT4X cassette machine. This time the source was: Casio DH100 -> Roland SE-02 -> Behringer V-Amp2 -> Lexicon LXP-5. Due to various delays, it has the structure of a musical round based on a very simple melody…

Recorded live to 4-track cassette, then live mixed to digital. Condenser mic -> V-Amp 2 (output 1) -> Lexicon LXP-5 -> Yamaha MT4X " ( " 2) -> EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300 Yamaha MT4X Tin whistles…

Same technical set-up as with Too Late; this time just random vocalisations. Also submitted to Sound In for 12-19/11/2020.

Another Sound-In piece for 12-19/11/2020. This time, a recitation, three times, of a strange phrase my mother was wont to use on occasion, that I don't even know if she knew its origin. A brief search has shown that it may be from a parody of…

One of those pieces that seem to develop out of simple test recordings. An earlier iteration with less effects sounded a bit like movie bullet effects which inspired the title, that was expanded to fit the Surrealism theme of this week's (12-19…

Same source as "Puffing Billy... " but stretched even more. The title is one of those that come from what I hear, in this case near the end of the piece. Submitted to Sound-In for 5-12/11/2020.

A snippet of interfering FM radios, modified and manipulated. A dawn chorus somewhere in the ether. All of the gaps are intentional.

Lots of modification on a tenor sax recording. Submitted to Sound-In for 1-7/10/2020.

Made from a section deleted from Upper Atmosphere, run through noise reduction then stretched. There were lots of very long gaps (up to 30 seconds and more) between sound events so added some acoustic guitar over top (Acoustic Guitar with Electronic…
