An experiment with Reaktor using a vocal track from a band called Lunar Rising

Lunar Rising - No Sleep - Experiment

A little randomness. Experimenting with some drones, glitchy effects, and noise generators. The vocal track is creative commons from ejc at http://ccmixter.org/people/ejc/uploads

Henry T. Brown - The Beauty of Usage

This is a rough edit of some recordings from late January 2009. Roddy Schrock: CP-70 and processing, Barbara Kopeloff: guitar, Scott Wilson: borked distortion pedal and engineering.

Working on getting Blacking Out down, we started playing it a little differently. I'm so out of practice. Roddy on CP-70, Barb on guitar, and Scott on violin. Maybe we'll be able to assemble something in the future that'll do justice to the live perfomance? Maybe.

Henry T. Brown - Blacking Out [alternate sketch]

This is a collaboration I did with Roddy Shrock. It is a 20 minute long improvisation done in two independent takes which were mixed together with only some level adjustments, but without any editing. Each take generally occupies one half of the soundfield. 

The guitar was played by Scott and recorded through a Lexicon 284 and Manley ELOP with a Maestro Parametric Filter. The Mac was played by Roddy and he used a bunch of stuff that I don't really understand. It was mixed on an 02r.

This week's Friday Challenge. I've had what by all rights is about the most amazing hardware synth made these days in my rack for a couple of years being totally neglected. Here are some random sounds from it I recorded trying to catalog some experiments. Sequencing mostly by automata programmed into Reaktor, sounds from my Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver rack.

Experiment 01: Evolver

Two goals here... one is to make myself get something out once a week thanks to @biggray. The other is to explore some synths that have been sitting around neglected. In that vein, there is little production here, just sounds from the Matrix 1000 since my Matrix 6r was acting up. A little reverb and delay and that's it. 

Experiment 02: Oberheim Matrix

Ambient/Cinematic experiments with my Moog Slim Phatty. All sounds are from the Phatty. Recorded into the 1/4" input of a Daking Mic Pre IV to Avid HD IO. Processing and Effects from Reaktor, Valhalla Shimmer, an empty warehouse impulse, and Echoboy. 2 bus processed through Manley Vari Mu.

Experiment 03: Moog Phatty

Yamaha CP-70 and Reaktor. Barb's playing the piano, I'm twisting knobs.

Scott Wilson is a modular designer and manufacturer operating under the name nw2s. In addition to general noise making, Scott also mixes and engineers when he can. This page is a conglomeration of all of those. You will find everything from remote jazz engineering to mastering, mixing, remixes, demos of half-finished module designs and finished module demo tracks. Enjoy.
