Yeah. I have an octave pedal in one side of the effects chain, but also this new wheel seems to bring out some upper harmonics in interesting ways.

Improvisation with David Sutherland, Track 4

Buchla Sines Sequence

hurdy gurdy, pianet, and just two modules.

Deus Ante Machina

Deep ambient layers washing over in a space that feels like an ancient secret cave. Music for deep focus and solitude retreats in the depths of the inner space.

--

In this piece I continued exploring the technique from my other piece "Eden" - layering a few unsynchronized sonic layers, drawing inspiration from the nature, like ocean waves, or different sounds as they are found in the wild - bird calls, insects, running stream, creaking wood etc.

Instrumentation:
- fretless bass, Buchla Easel, Eventide reverb spaces

Vernaca - Ambient Meditation

This is rotary magnetic bow with an asymmetrical arrangement of 5 magnets.

now it reveals its hidden side
and now the other – thus it falls,
an autumn leaf

Ryōkan Taigu was a Japanese poet and calligrapher who lived during the Edo period. A Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit, Taigu spent most of his time writing poetry, calligraphy, and communing with nature. His poetry is often very simple and inspired by nature.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

An Autumn Leaf (naviarhaiku506)

Photovoltaic cell fed into a compressor and distortion. Played using a dimmed compact florescent and LED light bulbs and a IR remote control.

Photovoltaic Sound - CFL+LED+RemoteControl

I recorded a little improvisation I did on the piano this morning.
All sounds are created using an e-bow circuit machine built in collaboration with Jan Bernstein and Mickey van Olst, with the support of Villa Médicis. No electronics, no amplification, what you hear is simply the vibration of the piano strings.

Improvisation with my e-bow circuit machine (13 December 2019)

the opening track from my new album, isolation etudes vol. 1 available at https://bengrossman.bandcamp.com/album/isolation-etudes-vol-1

it's all live, improvised pieces for hurdy gurdy, recorded quick-and-dirty style.

Beastesque

Music,
centered on dance but I made the circle very,
very wide, from everywhere, for everyone.
Enjoy.

My linux won't boot so I'm presently forced to use Windows, and because of the bug in Soundcloud's system my account is all messed up when I don't use a VPN to connect which I am unable to do now... trying to get help from my VPN provider.  Because of this, and because I started working very long days I will be less present here.  Sorry, I'm trying.

Hi,
"Tracks: 0" is wrong, it should read 40.
Ever since the closing of this account by error by SC two or three months ago, this problem has remained unfixed.  Soundcloud and their AI are apparently still working on solving this and other problems with this account, and with my other account ; )

2024/01/29:
What I wrote below was heart felt but presumptuous and pretentious.  I would have to not be stupid myself to be allowed to claim such a thing.  More importantly though, I don't believe it is correct or accurate.  These people are probably not stupid but just don't care.  Justice is a collective thing and many if not most people seem to live in bubbles.  It is perhaps economic oppression which is responsible, they just don't have the resources, the time, the energy to be concerned about what lies behond that bubble.  It used to be fine but there's this thing they call globalization which makes this increasingly impractical or impossible.

mid January 2024:
Justice and vengeance are not the same.  Apparently most people are too stupid to see the difference.  Unfortunately it is not something unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not unique to group conflicts.

What happened to intelligence?  Aren't we supposed to be the "intelligent" specie.

Here's the other account, for celebrities, ... this one here is for regular folks:

I love you.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
