Description: A section of a live rehearsal recording of us improvising live when we were working on our set for the CoCArts festival in Torun Poland. We had no preconceived ideas beforehand and just sat down and started playing.

fabulous love the two rhythmic parts and how they work together/against each other

nice & sensitive. best regards from poland:>

interesting work...nice improv...and nice feeling

An excellent piece. I'm so glad to be introduced to your music. Love the process and the very slow buildup. I also love the profile pics, your shows must be such a visual treat. 

for an impro by 5 this is really concentrated, both intelligent and sensual..

Interesting minimalist noise track - great work!

Modulate Octophonic Loop System, is an 8.1 sound installation, first created for exhibition in May 2011 at SONM, a new sound art centre in Murcia, Spain, directed by Francisco Lopez.
Controlled via Max/MSP, the 8 speakers (plus subwoofer) are placed
in a semi circle/crescent. Custom software chooses multiple sound files in random order, overlaying &amp; panning/diffusing them through the system, each sound has it's own path, each permutation revealing new configurations and spacial aspects
though time.
The playback system has been developed by Bobby Bird, using audio
content created in collaboration with Mark Bunegar &amp; Mark Harris, exploring new ways to present Modulate's unique sound.
Supported by SONM and Arts CouncilEngland.
