W09 - Recursion
By ENC_ on March 3, 2024 12:41 pm
Thinking about number randomization, human recursion, biases, and systems. Personal patterns and perspectives can be hard to change. Election coming up. I have had a lot of stimulus as well as time to consider relationships between myself and the world around me. Spent a day in the remaining redwoods w/ partner. I would like to do that more often. Once a month? LA plans. Promised myself I wont go along with parties and focus on my personal values. Hopeful this is the last drained cycle with demographic shifts. Concerned about aging family and end of life relationships while at the same time. Short on time end of the week. Good but unproductive. Incapable but hopeful.

Started after conversation with K and T. Mentioned starting track late after teaching conversations, NES, balders, charisma rolls, and movie. Mentioned being late to start the track this week and joked about running randomized midi data through a quanitizer a synth and reverb and calling it a day. This did happen but was built into a lager feedback enviorment that made up the core sounds. All parts interconnected. generative patch shifting and improvised triggering and manipulation recored in one shot after a few hours of building system. Starting feedback sound derived from cassette feedback loop mixed with vocoder return and randomized tuned sequence and effects. This was then sent back into itself again. Results in tuned feedback chords that push and pull on their own. Layered other feed back parts tuned to higher sections and limited notes. Also done with percussion. Once a stable network was created between all sources, mixed in generative drum machine patterns and bass.
Improvised composition and recorded to stems in one take. Small edits and basic mixing. No compression/mastering needed due to series of limiters to prevent cliping in feedback chanins. Wild results worth revisiting. Digital no input mixing board patching basically.
