Glad to hear you found it helpful, and funny to know that the mysterious algorithm found my video to your feed!

this recording from couple years ago now on tape and bandcamp

4-piece all acoustic improvisation direct to 4-track tape and a couple other recording devices. some delay effects by de-synchronization in the final mix/edit.

this was a special little group i thought… played a handful of intimate performances in Athens GA during a brief period of intersectional time there. always seated in a circle with the autoharp in the middle. kinda appalachian trance improvisation sort of thing.

BTW, the catalogue of the workingman laydown tape label is well worth checking out… especially enjoying this one, which incidentally is also raising a good amount of $ for the richmond (VA) community bail fund.

I usually like to edit improvisations into full tracks, this allows me to take out mistake or weird sounds and get away with it. This time I tried to record directly everything to tape to force me to be more precise and definitive.

About a year ago I landed down over Lanzarote, the island of eternal spring.
Remote and wild, yet very peaceful, very still. I wandered there for a week, in every possible directions. I got into a deep meditating state doing so.
Time stood still. And so did my thoughts. I felt free. In peace.

“I need an island” is a generative ambient piece. Mostly hands off.
I established some rules, with the help of the Patch Card Game by James Cigler. Then let the machine do it’s thing. Thinking by itself.
Evolving at it’s own pace. I think this piece is great for meditation, float, escape, …

This is hysterical… Although I think the algorithm is set too tight, it seems to be suppressing some of the quieter note attacks…

I love this idea @Mangrove . It’s definitely humorous, but has a completely new character. Subscribed!! :slight_smile:

This one is really great. Thanks for sharing it. I would be curious to hear about the processes you used.

the BLOCKED EAR pieces are no-input mixer recordings using a small mackie mixer and a midiverb4. Including the noisy intro of BLOCKED EAR 1. The recordings are then resampled with a simple sampler with a bandpass filter in Supercollider. There’s some interesting things going on when you take a recording with very high frequency material and transpose it up a lot. Odd interference patterns emerge, probably from mirroring due to the nyquist frequency. I’m not sure.

the WEATHER FORECAST pieces are church organ and function generator recordings, resampled using the same Supercollider sampler.

cheers.
