minidiscus

Sortof a "my first LGPT" if you will. This piece comes almost entirely from samples harvested from a collection of minidiscs that I sold recently, which contained rehearsal and concert recordings from my past; lots of trumpet, flute and guitar running through effects, some casio noises, digital and analog errors, and some speech. Features the voice of my old Tensegrity Nine bandmate, Peter Lim.
Recorded direct from a PSP (yes, I realize I could render a file instead) and mastered in Digital Performer 8.
I'm also playing here with an idea I haven't experimented with in a long time - long, out of time samples intentionally placed to create long form rhythm. LGPT is a great format for that so I hope to explore it further.
Challenges yet to overcome - still getting a handle on commands in LGPT, as well as getting oscillator mode to do anything useful. Next week planning on attempting a remake of an old song in LGPT as an opportunty to work with oscillator mode more.
