Anti Tractatus (aka fuark)

My week:
PhD, preparing for a performance of a page from Cardew's Treatise, doing said performance, drinks, helping my mother clean her house after she moved out of it. I am tired. Title of this piece: the opposite of tractatus, which if you read a bit about Treatise, might make some sense. Somewhat humorously, this is about as long as our performance went for.
I am tired.
Fuark.
This is MaxMSP and then Ableton Live. The Max part is a series of sound files that I use for live performance run through a frequency and amplitude analysis thing then run through six oscillators to resynthesise new material which is re-recorded back into the source buffer, and around, and around, and around. Meanwhile, there are three different playback mechanisms.
Live: tape saturation and mastering chain, but then the Max output is doubled with a vocoder which comes from some grain delays on the returns. Neato.
