This is great.  Hope you make this diary an official release (on vinyl!!?) sometime.

Thank you so much for not only sharing your incredible sounds, but your process as well! Been learning so much following this sound diary.

Was reviewing footage from a scenic and nostalgic camping trip of a friend and I on a stormy overcast shore just throwing rocks and stuff. This randomly played on the stream while we were viewing and the combination was truly beautiful. Thank you for this.

this is the op-1 being looped into a phonogene and the output split off into both an intellijel dr. octature II filter and a piston honda being used as a wave shaper for the noise and dirty part of the sound. i've never used the piston in this way before and will now probably be doing it all the time.

subtle modulations give it some warble and the whole thing sounds like a beautiful tape loop.

at the end i bring the dr. octature into barely self-oscillation and start playing the filter manually, the new, lower melody that shows up at the end is produced from this, a beautiful accident.

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
