"Spectral is a collection of tracks using either the Buchla 296 or 296e
Spectral Processor. It was fun taking it into different sonic universes to see 
what it would reveal. Enjoy!" - Todd Barton, 2022

TODD BARTON - SPECTRAL ( excerpt)

“In the first year of the pandemic, I started creating with and occasionally recording my modular synth at the end of the day between nine and ten at night. It was my way of decompressing and tuning out the stress of that period. Most of these tracks came out of that ritual of exploring my instrument. I usually only record something if the sound produces the same level of joy and excitement that I received from the process of discovering it, and I usually only release something if I feel that months later the recording is still interesting once the memory of and tactile imprint of the creative act is gone.” - JJR

id m theft able - Watch Me Piss My Day Away (Side A) (Excerpt)

Violin Forms; The name of the album reflects its making: the main sound source is the violin I inherited from my grandfather. The track names are metaphors for the compositional process: I played a few parallel notes into bottomless sea that is the Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus and set them adrift from each other, while also freezing each in time. The thawing movement induced by control voltage turns what lasted only a few seconds in our acoustic reality into a seemingly endless moment. A handful of organ tones contrast the flickering motions of the violins, giving a process that might appear too technical else wise a human touch. - Hainbach, Berlin 2017

"Both pieces are composed/improvised in real time using a Buchla Music Easel
and a TC Electronic Ditto x4 looper.  Angya is a journey that follows sounds as they
unfold into various sonic universes.  Texture III explores creating an ever-changing
timbral drone."- Todd Barton 

"Its a clichè that every composer travelling to Bali must be influenced by the Gamelan orchestra. I am not the exception. There is a magic to the Gamelan that conforms with what electronic music is to me, both in sound and composition. Using Adam Morford's cut down version of the Gamelan, the rough but beautiful Gamelan Strips, I composed the first piece of this collaborative album. The second uses modular synthesizers to mimic the layering techniques of the Gamelan. The final track, Antics, explores a different but similarly influential idiophone, the African mbira. Together, these three tell a story of immersion and disintegration, folding percussive sounds into ambient timbres." - Hainbach
