"Ionize"

Ionize was recorded on April 20th, 2008 live in the WRVU Nashville studios for the show Theatre Intangible. I used two cd turntables, a looping pedal, and some effects. I recorded all of the samples from my brother’s Alesis Ion synthesizer he had just given me to sell. After he heard the episode, I’m proud to say he decided to keep it.

"Pit of Roar"

Pit of Roar, the very first scoop & loop set, was recorded December 30th, 2007 live in the WRVU Nashville studios for the show Theatre Intangible.

Performed by Adventure Bomb with special guests Cody Bottoms and Melody Holt. 

My brother had just let me borrow his two Dennon cd turntables, and I wanted to do a show utilizing them. So I went to my trusty Jen Synth and Casio SK1 and started recording some tracks. But then I kept thinking to myself that it needed some sort of rhythmic talking. What profession has the most rhythmic talking? Auctioneering, of course! Thus began my search for creative commons recordings of auctioneers. And my search landed me on the profile page of Alphahog on the website FreeSound. Alphahog had recorded several auctioneers — and it was perfect for my show. That search ignited my love of Freesound, and I pulled many other choice field recordings for this episode. Many thanks to the artists who recorded these sounds!

“Projecting” is comprised of:

    * Interviews with Soundcrawl attendees. As they listened to Soundcrawl “sound art” selections via headphones, they were asked to describe what they were hearing. The central idea to this experiment was seeing if I could “map” their descriptions onto the music I was generating live.

    * Snippets of live musical performances occurring at Soundcrawl 2012.

    * Instruments performed by Adventure Bomb live, including Casio Sk-1 keyboard, circuit-bent toys and various effects.

    * Sound effects and field recordings from Freesound.org. Freesound aims to create a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, bleeps, etc ... released under Creative Commons licenses that allow their reuse.
