My favorite — or at least my most utilized — synthesizer module is probably the low-pass filter. I like trimming the upper end off a signal. I like how doing so can make a sound feel distant, not just physically but emotionally. There is no active filtering on this recording, however. This is simply a very loud noise, continuously registering at nearly 100 decibels, as heard from roughly two blocks away. Distance, in other words, provides the filter. Massive portable electric generators, running on diesel and each the size of a dry freight trailer, had been placed outside a local substation when power outages hit much of the city. Up close, the sound was painful. Blocks away, it could still disturb your sleep. Out on the street, the drone — present but, of course, invisible — felt alien: unwanted, unexpected, and, foremost, uncanny. As the days went on, the sound became more familiar, but never any more welcome. After power was restored and the machines were turned off, however, I could appreciate the tonality by listening back to a short clip. I could luxuriate in the slow waveforms, and enjoy the way the drone collaborated with the sound of passing vehicles. Recording is a form of capture. I had captured the alien presence with my recording device, and now it was under my control, rather than the other way around.

Recorded on an iPhone 17 Pro on December 24, 2025.

Chill lil' rap I actually wrote in Juvenile Hall and pulled out to fill in some extra studio time. Beat Produced by Dim Sumz. Recorded by DJ Zone at Sloth City Studios in Portland, Oregon USA in early 2025

I've lately been making a lot of field recordings, mostly of what people might think of as noise: urban and rural, interior and exterior, and various realms in between. Among those recordings are occasional snippets of other people: speaking, singing, making music, doing things. Recording people feels, to me, a bit like taking photos of people, which is to say I'm not entirely comfortable with it. In particular, I'm not sure I'd share field recordings of musicians overheard on the street. What I've done here, in contrast, is to take two field recordings and combine them, the source material pushed past the point of recognizability. In VCV Rack I then placed those two quite different recordings into a pair of sample modules, and then set four markers in each, the positions determined by sample and hold of a noise source. I then put those through respective switches so they rotated through, and those outputs through switches that went back and forth between the two different sources. Then I slowly ratcheted up the speed at which that back and forth occurred, faster and faster, manually, until I finally jumped back to a slower pace, which brought it all to a conclusion. 

Source audio recordings made on an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 17 Pro sometime in 2024 or 2025.

This is a step forward from yesterday. Rather than two source field recordings, there are three. The beat, per se, is a pair of white noise equivalents (interior drone of a refrigerator and a fan in a bathroom) cut up and swapped back and forth. The third element is the same street musician as last time, pitched differently and brought more to the foreground. As the track proceeds, the speed at which the sampling of that third element occurs gets faster, which alters the way it sounds in playback (a little more cut-up, even jittery). And then, as with yesterday's track, at the end it goes back to the original speed, which is a shortcut to a kind of closure. This was a lot of fun to put together, and especially interesting was trying to locate patterns that surfaced the most musically interesting elements of the source audio.

Recorded around the end of 2025 or start of 2026, depending on the audio, in San Francisco.
