Duration: 4 min 2 s
Description: Exploring feedback within the Buchla 288 Time Domain Processor.

A journey from airy ephemeral tones and textures that ultimately settles back to earth in a nostalgic theme centering around the instrument that originally launched my interest in music. 

Intro developed from initial experiments with the Xoac digital frequency shifter. Later ethereal tones emerge from sequencing a series of chords on the E370 at audio rate, creating a complex blur of tonally related pitches.

Coming Home

palette sources — sampled feedback from moogerfooger delay (various channel inputs from lapsteel, mother32, dfam)sampled into MPC3K. The field recording is of a trip to a coffee shop where four young teenagers were trying to keep each other laughing for approximately 1m30s.

concept — creating a foundation with the delay feedback from a bass-y synth segment, and layering sampled phrases on top of that developed around feedback swells.

Plinkies

Today I was inspired to try working in a novel time signature. The idea came from Gullo who I follow on Mastodon. He created a track in 11/8 today (https://soundcloud.com/cristian-gurra-50585796/118-cheerfulness) and I realised I’ve never really broken out of 4/4. 

My first attempt was genuinely so bad I didn’t want to upload it. A real mess. In that one I started with the chords and tried to get a beat to fit with little success. So I had another go, this time starting with the beat and once I had a rhythm I was happy with I started layering things up. I’m reasonably happy with the result and I shall be trying other time signatures again in the future.

Limpia sonora llevada a cabo en el programa Kuntur Rock, de Radio Bacán, en Lima, el 17 de febrero de 2019. Entre los insumos sonoros, se ha empleado una pista ralentizada de un fragmento instrumental del tema Manco Inca no mancó, de la banda Del Pueblo y del Barrio, así como una grabación de sonidos de cóndores andinos, tomada de https://youtu.be/m4bzywF4w9I.

La limpia de los cóndores

This is one of my compositions, mixed with lot of sounds including samples from the broken orchestra. Thank you @no-mates-ensemble for sending me this amazing material. This really enhanced the "spirit" i imagined for this track! :)I used also a cymbals sample that my friend @PrimaLoop did for our first collab(more will follow soon!).
