The obvious analogue vs digital contrast seemed to be a clock, and I've been curious as to the 'sound' of a digital clock for a while. Wrapping a 30 turn pickup around the clock got some strong strobes; but mostly 50Hz hum - so - something more drastic needed. Tapped off scanning waveforms from the LED display lines = strong strobed signals! (think mains voltage safety if trying this...)

Digital = clock display = recorded through analogue distortion/LFO-VCA/harmonic VCF
Analogue = stopwatch = processed through digital distortion/LFO-VCA/envelope VCF

Mixed into a 'tune' based on notes ADAC, using AudioMulch surface. Having too much fun; the <2min trim is clumsy.

Disquiet Junto Project 0172: Digital-Analog Conflater
Do something analog, then do the same thing digitally, and then combine them.

These are the steps for this week’s project:

Step 1: Do something analog.

Step 2: Do the same thing digitally.

Step 3: Combine them. The end result of Step 3 is your finished track.

Step 4: Upload your track to the Disquiet Junto group on SoundCloud.

Step 5: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Deadline: This assignment was made in the evening, California time, on Thursday, April 16, 2015, with a deadline of 11:59pm wherever you are on Monday, April 20, 2015.

Length: The length of your finished work should be between half a minute and two minutes.

"The Broken Doorway" is an online radio show that is enthused about promoting rare and 'unheard-of' musics, primarily from SoundCloud.

From beneath the umbrella of Indie Media Weekly, and helmed and hosted by Michael Ash Sharbaugh of "Blue Sky Highway" fame, "The Broken Doorway" features psychedelic, pop, rock, ambient, and experimental musics.

It is truly an aural detour off of the blessed "Highway!"

Thank you for your 'tune-in!'

Interested in collaborative projects -  The more inappropriate the better.  London based. home built noise toys and circuits, broken tape recorders, hex bugs in biscuit tins. Field recordings of air conditioning outlets.broken cassettes. and maybe the odd bit of class gear.

If you dont like the sound of out of tune guitars  then you dont like the sound of  guitars.

Try again, fail better


A path choked by nettles does not deter the bearer of a swinging scythe.

I create Ambient, Electronic, Jazz Fusion, and Blues music - sometimes melding any of those forms together. Instruments, field recordings, a rare voice, writing code, and whatever else might sound cool are used.

“One can only arrive at the experience of the transcendental – if it is reached at all – when one is oneself in a position of un-knowing, that is, of humility; namely, while remaining in the world of technê he or she begins to venerate a certain kind of experience, acquires it, makes it one’s own, realizes it, sustains it, repeats it – without burdening its sense, its essence with its own great questions.” - László Krasznahorkai, “The Acropolis in Sunglasses”
