"The Spiral Bungee" is a sonification piece with inspiration from models of elastic over metal. The timbres generated within the piece are analogous to the materials shown in the photo and the volume envelopes are analogous to the physical layout. 

The piece is realized through use of 8 "Janus Screamer" instruments (a Max-for-Live patch from Dillon Bastan).

It's officially 2021 spooky-time.
Hipster's Halloween Haunted Hang

In ghostlore, a Haunted Hang or Spirit Sit is a live performance of spooky electronic music presented on several nights during the month of October. The improvised soundscapes may be perceived as being influenced by disembodied spirits of the deceased who may have been connected with the electronic devices or devices like them. Parapsychologists often attribute this influence to the spirits of the dead who have suffered from violent or tragic events connected to electronics such as murder, accidental death, or suicide.
The Hipster is “A person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.” The Haunt combined with the Hang provides an October trend with alternative culture provide by special guests - musicians, commentators, artists and guest ghouls.

As people are more likely to experience a haunting when they are about to fall asleep, when waking, if they are intoxicated or sleep deprived, the "HHHH" spans midnight EDT (11pm-1am Eastern Daylight Time) and accompanied by libations that are holiday-appropriate.

This year's hang is brought to you by the number 5. Follows are some of the sonic themes that will be experienced during this internet preternatural encounter:

*. German lab equipment from the '50s
*. Latvian flat-black Modular
*. Theremin-like Sci-Fi sounds, through reverb
*. Zombie and Haunt themed guitar pedals, followed by reverb
*. Rattling chains through reverb
*. Vocal incantations through a pitch-shifter and reverb
*. 666ms echos, followed by reverb
*. Percussion on glass (filled with fake blood) with reverb
*. Kalimba devil chords, played through distorion and reverb.
*. Slowed down loops through reverb
*. Extended trumpet techniques, played on a flügelhorn, through reverb
*. Extended Japanese flute techniques, through reverb
*. Screaming into guitar pickups into reverb
*. Reverb fed back into more reverb
*. Generative Krell patches
*. Devil maracas 🦇🦇
*. Spooky sonidero cumbias

This tune was recorded while I was appearing on a VH1 reality show called "Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp"  It was co-written by Mark Hudson and and my TV band "Tugboat Circus." The East West Studios engineer was Eddie Kramer. Our band went on to win the "battle of the bands" style finale.
