I started this many years ago, but I could never get it right.  This week's disquiet prompt gave me a reason to dust it off, dress it up and set it out here.

I Know Why Some Animals Eat Their Young (disquiet0488)

Disquiet Junto Project 0488: Reverse Delay
Assignment: Do something you’ve been putting off.

While searching online for information about Ampex 601 tape recorders I came across the work of Joseph Hammer a Los Angeles improviser who works with tape loops on an Ampex 601. I was intrigued by his method, including the gloved hand, and wanted to try something similar.   

Three improvisations on 3 tracks. A long, layered background; a repeated short gesture recorded on a 10 second loop; and an animated improvisation using a 4 second loop. The sound source is a small modular synthesizer looped on an Ampex 601 tape recorder. Mixed in Audacity.

I'm Getting High Tonight

this is a metaphor
for loving back
this is incredible
I am sure of that

I'm getting high tonight

this is a social score
that buys you back
this is a grocery store
that's filled with snacks
there isn't time for war

'cause I'm getting high tonight
I'm getting high tonight
I'm getting high tonight
gonna feel dynamite
this here is living life
like if you had one time
I'm getting high tonight

this is a metaphor
for all I've done right
this isn't debatable
don't front tonight
the higher the, right?

well, I'm getting high tonight
I'm getting high tonight
well, I'm getting high tonight
gonna feel dynamite
this here is living life
like if you had one time
I'm getting high tonight

I'm getting high tonight
forgetting all of you
calming a somber mood
resetting abhorrent views
letting the love pull through
I'm getting high tonight

I'm getting high...

I'm Getting High Tonight

A river in January
running through
a January valley
