Well....here ya go! I was commissioned by http://www.tooths.com.au to put together a 2 hour journey through the weird and wonderful world of Spite Zoo thus far, including alternative or edited versions of previous tracks, along with interesting layering of several track over the top of one another - "mixing", if you will!
Hope you enjoy it.....it is pretty nice to put on in the background whilst pottering around the house...or for drifting off to sleep!

Any feedback welcome!!

The version of the highly-rhythmic "Homo-Erraticism", melded with the deeply ambient "You Were My Blood"/ "Lost To The Trees" is particularly interesting, and takes the end result into almost Autechre territory.

The full feature can be found here: http://www.tooths.com.au/takeaway-009-spite-zoo/#more-7

PLEASE NOTE: THE ORIGINAL, FULL VERSIONS OF THESE TRACKS - PLUS A TON OF OTHER TUNES - ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE SEPARATELY ON THIS SOUNDCLOUD PAGE (DUE TO LIMITED MINUTES SINCE DOWNGRADING MY ACCOUNT). WILL LIKELY BE RE-UPLOADING ELSEWHERE SOON.

Spite Zoo - The Story So Far (2 Hour Mix with exclusive tracks)

2 Track live. I boiled my system down to 1 6u case to play with a Qunexus.  Besides a little reverb, all the ambience is provided by the Wow and Flutter, which is on the "lead".  The envelope follower seems to push the delays slower into nearly inaudible range while the line is playing and then springs back in the gaps. Also, the WET output feeds an LPG to create the "tuned percussion".  The lead line itself is e350 played through an SOB.  Qunexus pitch straight into the 1v/oct, gate into the SOB vactrol input.
I used the PTG to "pluck" the Verbos filter (verbos vactrol response very fast by itself) The extra control and life the PTG brings makes me wish SSF would just make a damn LPG. Pressure points/brains combo plays with the snare pitch and fm amount. SSF mix mode saturation is all over the place..the Verbos also saturates nice too.

Clock - Noisering
Triggers - Triggerman
HiHats - TipTop808
Low end - Subcon M15 Fm'd by the morph output of 2nd M15 through Verbos amplitude and tone controller.  
Snare/Rim - subcon m37 fm'd a bit, optomix.
Tuned Percussion - WET output of Wow and Flutter through optomix. 
Main Line - e350 morphed by slew'd Noisering.  Filtered by SOB. Run through Wow and Flutter.

Muskrat Audio Demo

All sounds in this simple track were made with my modular synthesizer. Recorded to Cubase, eq, compression, reverbs and delays added. All done within an afternoon. The purpose was to explore the possibilities of my diy modular, which is about 30 percent done...

Modular track 00

Harvestman Hertz Donut exploration.  Mainly subtle sounds from FM, waveshaping, ringmod and phase mod (via tracking).
