Disquiet Junto Project 0543: Technique Check
The Assignment: Share a tip from your method toolbox.

A way of playing/improvising that I enjoy a lot is playing acoustic instruments into long delays with feedback. The delay creates a sort of loop, but audio processing in the signal chain changes the characteristics of the sound in a cumulative way: with each round through the delay line, the sound is further transformed. It feels a bit like you’re ‘sculpting’ the sound.
The basic technique is quite old, first implemented with tape loops over 50 years ago by artists like Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveiros; and later by Brian Eno & Robert Fripp (it’s often called Frippertronics). Modern digital equipment and software allow for more intuitive, instrument-like control of the audio processing and for on-the-fly routing and re-routing of audio signals. One of the setups I use a lot is a Max-controlled Ableton set where return tracks are set op as audio processing chains with the delays, and are then fed into themselves and each other using sends. 

Things can quickly get cluttered though: if you keep playing notes into the thing and everything gets fed back into itself, things are likely to get crowded. One technique that mitigates this issue is to have a pitch shifter in the signal chain that shifts everything down an octave: with each round through the delay line, everything is pitched down, until after a couple of rounds it dies in a highpass filter. I’ve found this to be a nice setup to explore harmonies and modes. As you play, you’re accompanied by the delayed, pitched down stuff you played before.
This little piece I made is an exploration of the phrygian mode. It’s a bit rough: I just did a couple of takes and this seemed the nicest.

der eismann peter (Tape Version)

I`ve never left.

Three piano strings - of varying lengths and strengths - Swinging vertically at three different points in the room. Each connecting a column with the ceiling. A disharmonic triad of sounds comes from the loudspeakers - a pulsating, alive, floating sound.
The piano strings are each strung in an Architectural construction of steel and Concrete and are agitated via an electromagnetic feedback system and fed back via a pickup. This causes the strings to swing and different sounds can be digitized. Like a monochord, the installation makes acoustic phenomena perceptible - like the correlation between pitch and string length, the formation of overtones, as well as the resonance and swinging - and invites visitors to partake in an audiovisual site visit.
