nice bit of wandering! i’m all about the traditional instrument sampling. second i can get away from work, gonna lay down something as well

This is a project with Erin Demastes and myself called Ablebody. We released this 2 days ago, hot off the press. Erin is doing synths and i’m doing live processing with The Party Van and also some micro garden noise making and sample manipulation on a few tracks. Everything was played live and edited down. Hope you all like it!indent preformatted text by 4 spaces

i’ll give him a nudge

spending too much time and money with his fixies :wink:

inspired by the Andrew Paske interview @tehn pointed to i’ve been working on an Aleph scene that gives me a simple shift from simple -> complex with a bunch on unpredictability thrown in. If people are interested I’ll share the scene, but i have written any documentation yet and it still needs a bit of work. In the video one encoder changes pitch complexity of the scene, one changes the time complexity, third changes the overall rate of the system (which i also have as a tap tempo foot pedal) and there’s a cut off control too. - the El Capistan is just giving a bit of spring reverb and warbling doubletracking, the delays are all from the Aleph.

wonderful!

ps. explain to me your connection with “in the dust of this planet” (i heard the radiolab story about this book).

the book is really worth reading, even though a bit hard to get through at times. It has some interesting notions about the differences between ‘the world for us’ and ‘the world in itself’ and how we can’t imagine a ‘world without us’, but this is what existential horror does better than philosophy… and there’s an early section exploring the meaning of black in black metal, and how it can encapsulate this kind of metaphysical dread, the book calls it cosmic pessimism, and counts a Keiji Haino album of just voice and sine wave as a shining example.
…It all kind of chimed with me and what i’m heading towards with the valid lover project. ( case in point, this scene demo is one of the few things i’ve posted which doesn’t send overlapping waves of nihilistic distortion through the aleph :wink: )

So much inspiring content on this thread! Thought I’d share a recent test combining a Make Noise shared system and grid running MLRV looping back into each other… fun times
