Ants, Italy - 2017

power starve on roolz 5, this kicks out the voices on the rollz so what you hear at the beginning is power starved rollz into ultrasound on a plumbutter. The abrupt  changes in sound come from plugging a yellow out from PB ultra's into power starve on rollz (seems to work best with a really hot signal). Then I turn off starve & you hear all voices kick back into life, Just before I end the starve gets used to kick out the voices again leaving the sound of PB ultra's. It's a very heavy patch but still is nice & slow.

Summoning Bats

A piece composed for a lockdown exhibition

https://balcony-art.com/projects/

A wave is a disturbance, a change from dormancy to activity.
Using a prepared* music box connected to a modular synthesizer the artist seeks to explore indeterminate actions and reactions. Sound and sonic events are triggered by the release of tension within the music box forcing a spring reverb tank to self oscillate into feedback which is then tuned using a bandpass filter and fed back into the synthesizer to determine the pitch of the composition.

Wave - David Bloor

sound artist working with modular systems and large assemblages.
