morphyness some sweet stuff happened. are you manipulating controls or is this just kinda happening inside a program?

This is all about live hardware manipulation. I plugged a contact mic into the Eventide Timefactor, and the Timefactor into a Roland SRV-3030. I recorded the SRV-3030's output in Live, but didn't do any post-recoridng manipulation other than normalization and trimming unwanted silence from the beginning and end. No plugins were used.

This is amazing. reminds me of steve reich pendulum music, not sure why wink

Reich's Pendulum Music is about two things: the damped harmonic oscillation of swinging microphones, and the feedback loops created when the microphones near the loudspeakers mounted below them. My piece is built around two sequential digital simulations of tape delays with feedback. Both pieces share multiple feedback loops as a central concept. By contrast, Reich's piece is a self-contained system that is setup and then allowed to seek equilibrium. My piece depends on human intervention, but my system does tend to seek equilibrium if you take your hands off the controls.

Freaky ambiance.
