Homeless dreamers

Live improvisation recorded at  the December 2019 Bleep Salon.  Not quite what I'd intended -- my clip-playing software blew up, adding interesting sounds and textures to the first few minutes -- but it came out surprisingly well.

iPads, Korg RADIAS, OP-1 and Organelle.

Accidentals

This started with a field recording of the Slack alert signal recorded in a room with a very low pitched air handler.  Turned it into a Patterning drum set, and mangled it with the Borderlands granular synth.

Fun to do and fun to post.

Slacker

Live solo improvisation from the Hotel Groton, Electrozone Leap Day show, 2020-02-29.

Mainly used iPad instruments (Borderlands, Mood, Animoog, Continua),  plus a little OP-1.  Extra credit for identifying the Borderlands samples.

I make noises.  Sometimes they turn into music.   Thank you for taking the time to listen.
