serious work space, lots of space and atmosphere

This is so encompassing, I'd love to be surrounded by fog on that pathway with this blaring through the fine water.

i love the distant echo sound...feels like the desert

I had to write songs about nature as a final for my nature writing class, that's what these are, songs about nature. Nature songs. The bird on the cover is a Cedar Waxwing.

[BNx20] House Of Their Name

Gutter Raat

A live improvisation by D.A.Wilson on an extremely rare 1982 Buchla 400-T computer controlled 6-voice hybrid synth (digital "arbitrary" oscillators into analog filters) running MIDAS-III complete with flat pressure sensitive Touch Controller housed in a custom Teak solid wood cabinet awakens during return to operation and overhaul and Lotharek Rev.F HxC virtual floppy disk retrofit at Hideaway Studio.

The touch keyboard was a nightmare to get used and it took a great deal of my concentration to perform this as the pressure-to-pitch modulation was pretty intense on the patch I'd dialled in that day but it certainly resulted in something from the heart.  The highly responsive playing surface opens up some interesting possibilites for expressive patch design and playing!

For they are in
The house of their name

House Of Their Name

With some intrepidation I decided to have a go firing up Novachord 346 for the first time in what turns out to be 8 years since I resurrected and partially restored this 1/4 ton behemoth!...

To my great relief, this now 87 year old quarter ton 163 tube beast came out of slumber with all 12 of her master oscillators in action and pretty much in the same order she was in last time I hooked this monster to the power!...

After some initial tests I made this recording consisting of one overdub of a plucked Attack setting over a slow sustained Attack setting whilst occasionally moving some of her triple L/C formant resonator controls, the Bright/Mellow control and the Vibrato Depth.  

The source is 100% Novachord and the recording was made directly from the line output of the pre-amplifier into basic delay and reverb but with no form of added modulation processing such as chorus/ensemble/flanger.  Any natural chorusing you hear is due to the Novachord's 6 free-running vibratos acting on pairs of her 12 master-oscillators.

It still truly astounds me that an all electronic instrument originally on the drawing board in the mid 1930s can sound like this.. and even moreso 85 years after she left the factory!!

We are so used to hearing muffled scratchy recordings from the 1930s – but that is not to say its what it sounded like on the day of the recording – the HF the NC produces is amazing for its era.

1938 Novachord #346: The Beast Doth Gently Awaken (87 Year Old Tube Polysynth!)

Part of an upcoming EP, or maybe it'll be a whole album who knows.

Woke up in a sweat today
The roaming clouds have wet my clay
I'm a lonesome crowded mess
Got a lot of love and a couple regrets
So what if I'm afraid
So what if I feel okay
So what if I don't exist
So what

Didn't do anything today
I watched my neighbor wave goodbye to his wife
As she drove away down the road
He stood in the garage, his gaze turned to the left
More and more until there was nothing left for him to look at
For a moment he looked rather lost
I thought I'd write about this
But nothing came of it

Sweat

Ambient, horror, drone & soundscapes.
I hope you like what I make.

Better Alone
