that slightly atonal obstinate/loop reminds me a bit of a track from Dream Theory in Malaysia

Imagine a hypnotist becoming a clown, and you are not halfway there.

Ridiculus Hypnoticus

This is an excerpt from another recording that came into being while working on some new material for a new album release. This time, it's a bit more ambient, less melodies (huh?), and the CS was run through a Roland PH-830 Stereo Phase Shifter to add some "swirl" to it.
Reverbs and delays used were, among others, a Dynacord DRP-15, Sony DPS-R7/D7/M7, and a Roland SRV-330.

I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?

My guest for this episode is Karl Fousek, an improviser who has spent the last five years crafting an incredible archive of live modular performances and studio albums. As a deeply devoted fan of experimental and electronic music and by dedicating himself to the mastery of his tools as a single instrument, Karl has developed a compositional agility which helps him explore new directions of form. His latest release, ‘Two Pieces For a Contemporary Connection’, is an inspiring hybrid of live improvisations and rehearsal recordings. 

Beyond his work as a solo synthesist, Fousek also plays with Devon Hansen and Roger Tellier-Craig — a partnership which bore the very well-received ‘No Sound Without A Misunderstanding’ and most recently, ‘No Image In Particular’.

I’m so excited to share this episode. Through our conversation, Karl covers everything from his approaches to longform performances, building patches that are mutable yet structured, learning a modular system as an instrument, collaborating with others, and how he navigates uncanny sounds.

This is an excerpt from another live patch on the newly-built Mighty Serge Synthesizer in February 1978. It features a clocked random patch that creates chord phrases that never repeat. I was playing soprano sax over it (not recorded) and it was like having another musician comping for me. The Mighty Serge can be a very funky cat.
