Another tape manipulation simulation. Nebulæ fed into Echophon. 
Assisted by low pass gate (4046 & E340 oscillators) thru Synthrotek analog delay.

Nebulæ - Tape Warble Experiment III

For Seth Sher

Initial experiment with Make Noise ERBE VERB, DIY Buchla 291 Dual VC Bandpass Filter & Qu-Bit NEBULAE. Incorporating amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, granular & digital spaciality on a monophonic plane.

This is not music.

Vocal Modulation Experiment II (monophonic)

Braids sound source, modulated by dual Wogglebugs ---> into Erbe Verb, modulated by Vulcan Dual LFO, uLFO, Maths, Planar & Wogglebug. 

Make Noise Erbe Verb (first date) modulating plucking

A quick sketch using an array of Buchla DIY + Make Noise, 4MS, Toppobrillo, Mutable Instruments, Livewire & STG Soundlabs modules. 

20 Trillion Leagues

This is an excerpt from a 22 minute four channel surround sound piece I recorded for Nora Schultz' exhibition at The Renaissance Society (January 2014). This section has all four channels folded in to Stereo. Thematically, Nora wanted bird environments (specifically the Monk Parakeet) melded with organic and mechanical sounds. This exquisitely complimented the strong visual aspect of her work.
