Quick and dirty exercises used to advance my knowledge of the Volca units I am starting to collect. Each exercise starts from a blank slate and should not take more than 4 days to complete. The only form in which the sounds are preserved are as the tracks heard here exactly as they were recorded.

An exercise in using one sound to create melodious soundscapes

A concise suite

Overly long experiments from way back when

2 long

A collection of sound balls created as part of RPM/Unpossibles febuary challenge. My plan was to have created 5 pieces in which stasis and movement are combined in short constructions for listening pleasure in an unusual dimension!

Only 4 balls got made as wage-earning and other stuff got in the way. 

"Quick and Dirty" is the name and quick and dirty is the method! May things get even messier in the future!

ps. there is now a fifth!

Sound Ball 1

Hmmmm - 5 balls in one month was the goal. Here comes number 2 after 17 days!

Sound Ball 2

Sound Ball 3

At last number 4 - in the spirit of QnD it is one loop repeated twice. Recorded with my new ZoomF1 and a variety of microphones. 

It is a result more closely related to the acoustics ideal that I am searching and very much part of a work in progress even if in no manner of means a finished work. 

No fade in or fade outs. It should loop perfectly!

NB! Needs good bass response for full effect!
