keeping secrets demo 29.10.2025

Quick one that turned into maybe a keeper! v1: nobody knows what to believe we've all been keeping secrets go overboard all day long getting sinking deeper ch1:
 climbing up rung by rung you’ve got to believe that ladder’s long life is young you’ve got to believe v2: coming down it’s so hard to see all alone (blah blah) the world is keeping secrets ch2:

20250909 am modular po 09.09.2025

I really do feel like I'm in a Month of Modular©. In a kind-of continuation of yesterday's jam, which was built around a Behringer Crave (horrible name/ great synth) into the finally-built tape and microsound music machine, today I brought in the teenage engineering PO 400. Did some semi-random patching on it this morning and got a cool square wave repeating oscillator from the lfo. And immediatel...

20250907 modular acoustic 08.09.2025

Finally finished cobbling together a tape and microsounds make noise rack. Here is: acoustic guitar thru said system and over a drone I made with the same acoustic guitar, live to "tape." A fella could work this set-up for a lifetime and never come up with the same thing twice.

20250903 am jam modular crv 03.09.2025

Used the same modular system for yesterday which is morphagene, qpas, and mimeophon + a behringer crave. I think a lot of people look down on the crave (horrible name), but it's wonderful. Oddly the crave sits better on the desk than a Moog mother 32. Like a cascade down from my skiff case. So anyway, I went with the basic patch that the crave comes with backed by a reel which started as an acoust...

20250902 modular meditation #1 03.09.2025

trying to do something not so sleep-inducing for am meditations. the idea here is to have enough interesting things to listen to with just enough going on. + occasional harshness really centers (aka wakes your a$$ up). wrapped up listening to the music-this' all that's going on for 12 minutes. acoustic guitar > morphagene > qpass > mimeophon

dont-cry eyes demo 04.07.2025

I've been really trying to combine acoustic instruments with electronic and voice and wanting to bring all that together. So it happened I forgot my computer at work, and I did this whole thing on the OP-1 field (think modern, all-in-one 4-track). And it just turned out--well, it's something I'm really happy with.
