RIFF/T

Tim Croft and I have been involved in some serious volume in Baltic 39 recently. The results of which will be shown in the project space on 6th February...

"James Watts and Tim Croft, in a literal response to the exhibition theme, will explore privately within the RIFF exhibition space the synchronisation of riff into an unsynchronised rift. The documentation of this performance will be unharmoniously imposed on to the RIFT exhibition."

Noises and reverb.

 More circuit building developments. Here is a very shrieky oscillator I've yet to house, run through a very fuzzy reverb unit found in a shed...

My First Oscillator

I put together an oscillator today. It makes some fairly harsh droney sounds - which is always satisfying. The circuit will form the basis of some kind of group instrument/installation in the near future...

It sounds like this:

Phill Niblock

Lord of drones...

Listen to the whole playlist. Loud.

Experimental Sounding board.

 

This is tomorrow. Great sounds. Expect more photos/info etc soon. Come investigate if you're about...

ESB Catalogue

Here's the catalogue for the open lab I'm involved in...

Mandible

A few tweaks, and I was able to get a good signal out of the jawbone mic, and get something recorded. Unfortunately, my effects unit isn't keen on non balanced signal it seems, so buzzed a bit (removed in most of the track below). Will tweak things and bit and try and find a decent housing for the thing. The slightly distorted signals added all kinds of worthwhile extraneous noise once overlayed. Definitely worth further investigation.
