Loarr

I've been playing with running feedback through old, somewhat noisey hi-fi's through a looper unit, and modulating what it picks up. This coudl well develop into a performance.

Drone Tubes

I've been making some noises with bits of metal tubing recently. Sounds quite satisfyingly like a didgeridoo at longer, but with a faint metallic twang. Shorter lengths yield an eerie drone that works well over the top. Three tracks making use of looping, delays and reverbs in varying amounts.

These may well develop into some form of automatic horn installation, if not some recorded sonic output in their own right.

Motors and Drone




I've been playing with using electric motors to generate tones. Here are the results of the first experiment. I've run a low pass filter on the signal from the motor to smooth the tone out a bit then multitracked it. Five recordings layered over each other. The end result of this should yield some form of sculptural installation/group performance piece...
