Dream Forest, 1981-???

Yikes. I *nearly* missed this week...uploading with about 30 mins on the deadline. Intense week with very little time for headspace.
Anyway, I had an idea of what I was going to do for this week, rounding off a month of short compositions recorded to the old Tascam 424. This time around the source material is an agogo (percussion) I picked up a couple of weeks ago. This thing's got amazing resonances and I've been wanting to explore it for a while. The agogo is being played by a couple of corked loudspeakers being driven by oscillators. I stuck twigs and wires on the ends of the speakers so you get unpredictable rhythms as they sway about. Grungy as hell due to numerous pitch tweaks and grungy EQ-ing on the 424 with auxilery sends going to the combo of a DD-7 and EXH reverb. The 'hi-fi' explorations of the agogo will have to wait for the time being. 
Theme-wise: a forest per se, but this week we've jumped from the ocean (last week) into the recesses of my brain! Or at least I think we have..
Next month: not sure at this stage, but I've got my eyes/ears trained on using some sensors, arduino and Max.
