Darklord Day

Recorded live in one take/no overdubs at The Hermitage, Chicago, IL sometime mid 2005.

I really didn't like it originally, but i found the master recording the other day in the middle of packing for a move and tossed it in and, you know what? It's pretty good. 10 years of distance will do that i guess. It's cohesive as a piece when listened to front to back, so i suggest that rather than poking about. There are a couple missteps here and there but overall it flows nicely for being the first time the four of us had ever recorded together.

Credits:
Adam Vavrick - Roland JP8000
Navi - Yamaha RM1X, Mix
Eric Winter - Roland JP8000
Phil Western - Live Treatments/Effects, Samples, Ableton
One of us played a Roland SH32 as well....i think it was either me or Eric, but who knows.

Easy-peasy: Korg ER1 left/mono out to Gristleizer in. Gristleizer out to interface in. Recorded straight into Tracktion with no effects applied. Apologies for any digital clipping, Gristleizer is quite unruly. TG fans will recognize the drum pattern. Start of clip effect is bypassed, then put into VCF mode, manual tweaking of Speed, Depth, waveform type, Bias, Level. Switch is thrown from VCF mode to VCA at 1:08, manual tweaking of all controls again.

First experiment with the Boss RPS-10 Pitch Shifter/Delay. Kinda reminds me of Coil's ElpH "side project" 

Signal path is the Carillon patch on a Casio CZ-3000 into a Soundcraft Signature 22mtk with Aux busses to the aforementioned Boss half rack, a Moog Minifooger overdrive pedal, and the internal Lexicon reverb & delay effects straight into logic.

Ok, this was a fun one. Patch as follows: 

AUDIO: Z3000 Sine Wave to STG Wavefolder. STG Wavefolder to Toppobrillo Triple Wave Folder In (AC), Toppobrillo Out 3 to Oakley RM4014 X, Toppobrillo Out 2 to Oakley RM4014 Y, Oakley RM4014 OUT to Doepfer A138 mixer, mixer out to Tascam FW1082 into Tracktion, recorded one take with no effects. 

VOLTAGE CONTROL: Bubblesound uLFO Sine Shaped to STG Wavefolder Offset, Z3000 Triangle to Bubblesound uLFO Sine Shaper, Bubblesound uLFO Sine to Toppobrillo Triple Wavefolder Bias 3, AFG Sine Out to Toppobrillo Triple Wavefolder Bias 2, AFG Sub Out (Saw) to Toppobrillo Triple Wavefolder Bias 1.

Manual tweaking of all affected pots/attenuators.

It's a long track, but i wanted to demonstrate just how many sweet spots there are when patching these two wavefolders together.
