Wagga Wagga
Wagga WaggaAn experiment in modular synthesis. The system is a Doepfer Dark Energy being sequenced by a John Macedo 4 step analog sequencer output through a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator and a Line 6 DL4. DE VCF is being modulated by a Moogerfooger CP-251 Control Processor which is also modulating the Moogerfooger Ring Modulator/ The CP-251's LFO is being processed through a lag control distorting the LFO sine wave. The internal LFOs of the DE and the Ring Mod are also functioning, giving a very odd almost speechlike result... Not exactly musical, but interesting!
-
Purple Sage
Purple SageAn sort of Drum N' Bass experiment done with iSequence on the iPad with voice samples from Ken Campbell reading Robert Anton Wilson's "Illuminatus" audio book. This is the most complex thing I've done on iSequence so far and is pretty dark!
-
The Mountain Path
The Mountain PathAn experiment with Garage Band on the iPad came up with this Middle Eastern flavoured number, just right for wandering around the Himalayas of the Hindu Kush!
-
Stop the Machine
Stop the MachineA track I recorded during the last Tory government! An angry, revolutionary call to arms that seems as appropriate today as it did at the time and at the time the main voice sample was recorded in 1968. Unfortunately it has a few pops on it and I can't find a better version, this seems to be the only one I have in the archive.
-
Ever Onward
Ever OnwardThis is another of my iPad creations with iSequence. Bit of an In The Nursery / Laibach / film soundtrack vibe to this one, not really a live track, but interesting....
-

Winter Evening
Winter EveningMy new track recorded live with the Akai SynthStation app on my iPod Touch controlled by the Akai Synthstation 25 keyboard controller. Basically it's two arpeggiated synths with a live lead played on the third. Recorded live into ProTools, trimmed, faded in/out and a small amount of Bass EQ added. Sounds great when you consider it's from an iPod! ...oh, and you can tell it's live!
