StC Lives

STC.lives.solo12.2.9.21

St Celfer™ first tracks made on the Step.4D™ (a live only electronic instrument), in chronological order, from number zero in December 2020 -- when I thought I had all the parts ready to go -- through number 123 in March 2021.  After all the deletions, additions, and decisions, this collection ends up with 43 keepers.

Why would I keep it?  Not necessarily to release as music.  For instance on the last one, number 123, I'm testing a kalimba to experiment if it, heavily distorted, can drive the Step.4D™ with enough smattering of midi notes. I like the unusual faint artifacts in the background which are not reproducible since I never quite know what is happening through the complex configuration.

Step.4D™ creates an instantaneous recording to two tracks that can't be mixed later. It's truly and exclusively a live machine. 43 tracks survived and the rest are gone forever.
