A gentle improvisation with a resonator and a granulator

12 Radiophonic Textures

A generative patch, using a modal resonator and a delay, with lots and lots of modulation sources. Self-generating random processes are kept in check by attenuation and quantisation.

Sit And Watch What Happens

Odilons Hurdy Gurdy Jam

Playing around with Allen Strange's "Dream Machine", as so often the starting point for a patch. Most sound generated by the Behringer 2600, but also a lot of heavily modulated and wrangled delay from elsewhere. Just enough of the "something to hold on to factor" to make it musical, but you can dip in and out of this at any point.

2600 Dreaming

Very much like the previous track, but much much slower, and some selective delay holding. I actually much prefer this one!

2600 Dreaming Slowly

2600 Bouncy Thing

Cross rhythm

A selection of tracks, sound design and noises, generated on a modular synthesizer, exploring sources of uncertainty to bring about happy musical accidents

From Another Island

A cheerful little track, made on my last day as a fourtysomething

Fourtysomething

A very abstract industrial-ish track. All the sound sources are the AJH MiniMod modules....just listen to those filters sing! 90% of the modulation from the MakeNoise Maths

Back To It....

This is a demo of the Rossum Electro Panharmonium....possibly one of the simplest patches I've ever made. White noise into the Panharmonium...some reverb.....record.

Open Windows

Explores spectral feedback loops and sound design with granular synthesis. Multitrack montage.

Strung Out On The Wires

Paper Sculptures All

A very gentle self-generative patch on the modular synthesizer, mainly exploring resonators.

Rings And Strings

Prospero Marcenaro and Marion Marcenaro-Huygens perform "Die Alten Bösen Lieder", from Schumann's "Dichterliebe". January 18th, 1968.
