This piece is a mix from a live performance using AVGM, software that creates real-time audiovisual granular synthesis through the use of a touch interface. Accompanying the AVGM is the DSI Tempest, Korg Volca Keys, Novation Bass Station II, and Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Delay.

This is the second study in a series of duet recordings that I am working on. In this example I made a recording of a freight train passing from about fifteen feet away using my Sony PCM-D50. On a side note the train recording was made in December of 2008, and I had no Idea until recently that I would be using it as a test layer for this project. Next I performed along with the recording while attempting to listen and react the same way I would when improvising with a human performer. The synthesizer I used (and may use for all of these) is my Sequencial Circuits Pro-One running through the Memory Man delay. There’s quite a bit of low end in the synth for the first two thirds of the piece, so I recommend listening on a good system, or set of headphones, turned up as loud as you can manage!
