A Palindromic set of Variations on the Memory of a Childhood Seizure

By kevanatkins on January 31, 2016 6:24 pm

This piece is a symptom...

Keeping it minimal this week both in terms of material and processing.

Original sound:

Excerpt of a recording of me nervously fidgeting with the singing bowl that was meant to help me sleep as well as some chatter.

Fucking wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyable music; there is this awesome pushing and pulling as gestures speed up and slow down, that I so thoroughly enjoy.

Intoxicating to say the least. Loving the wubs.Really impressive piece of sound on a narrow Eq.

Whatever the process, the results are lovely.

Thanks, Vince. It means a lot coming from you.

Thanks. As it happens, there isn't any EQ in this track. I think a low of the narrowband characteristics come from the the source material.

Thanks! A lot of my remarks on the process probably more to do with documenting things (albeit superficially) for later down the track without having to go through my old source files. A memory cue is usually enough.

Are you using Supercollider also? I was following your Version Control advices on Vinpous comments

refreshing after playing a load of erm rather shitty tracks... not the best week apparently, anyway thanks, i'm grabbing this one!

I think I'll try sleeping to this one. Awesome stuff.

I do use SuperCollider, but I haven't for any WB tracks. I might next week or the week after. This mainly Ableton Live and Pro Tools.
