Voice modified by EHX Stereo Memory Man, with a setting that I really haven't played with much for the simple reason that I don't understand it much. That hasn't really changed, but it was kinda fun to play with. Submitted to Sound-In "Changing…
Thought I'd give this piece the same title as the Sound-In event (3-10/3/2022) to which it was submitted, since, entirely by accident, it came out sounding like that phrase being repeated continuously if you use your imagination enough.
Two EHX devices; Voice Box, and Stereo Memory Man. Original sound is voice only, with a loop created on the SMM and extra vocalisations on top. Submitted to Sound-In "Peace" for 24/2-3/3/2022.
Test recording of voice modified by a EHX Voice Box on vocoder setting; the modulating signal is the sound from a one-string instrument made from an old crutch. Post production involved adding two copies of the original mono track, panned slightly…
Title inspired by the symmetrical nature of the piece. The original recording was the sound of striking various parts of a gourd bowl (a round bowl-like thing made by cutting the bottom from a dried gourd of some sort - I don't know, it was given…

yes this is "gas music from jupiter" - I was thinking that gas music could be a theme or music from jupiter or gas music from jupiter --- would work as a theme at some point -- :)
A bit of audio plasticity here, in that I've taken the sounds from Not Just Dreaming and run them through various effects processes to give this little ditty. Also submitted to Sound-In “Dreaming About Plastic Noises” for 13-20/01/2022.
Percussing a bunch of plastic objects, destined for the recycling bin but making one more contribution before they go. Played with a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks, until the dropping of one brought the piece to a somewhat premature end…

From a little 4" reel of tape, this is the first attempt I made at using a Time Lag Accumulator set-up, where the tape is strung between two machines (in this case a Tandberg 3341X and a cheap Sears portable), with the initial sound recorded on…

Voice into EHX Voice Box on Unison/Whistle setting, into EHX Stereo Memory Man. Submitted to Sound-In "Within and Without the Loop (of Time)" for 8-15/12/2022.
Thanks, Jeff! Yeah EHX are fond of throwing unexpected little quirks into their devices it seems. Not sure exactly how this one works, but it can really do some great unexpected things.

Thanks, Bill. I obviously thought enough of it at the time to be a keeper, and have probably listened to it a few times since, but found even more to appreciate this time around. A week later, I recorded this with the same set-up: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/track/seeking-a-suitable-donor
Clarinet played into an empty tube that formerly held a bottle of Scotch, which may have had some unconscious influence on the rough melodic form. Picked up by two contact mics into a Zoom H4n recorder. Submitted to Sound-In for 26/2-4/3/2021.
This started out life as a single mono track created on a Gakken SX-150 Mk II, which was then duplicated and echo applied to each individual track in Audacity; 0.015 seconds left, 0.016 seconds right. The two were then run through all sorts of…
John (February 21, 1911 – September 30, 2055) was an American pretzel salesman. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated pretzel, "Double Garlic…
Thanks, Bill, but as you've probably noticed, with my style of playing a perfect - or eve proper - embouchure is not all that critical. Either that or my horn is very forgiving. Since I'm not trying to play particular notes or melodies, anything that doesn't quite work as intended merely becomes part of the piece in a different way.
Took a walk up to the local creek to try playing with some late-night bullfrogs (about 10pm). Kept to just playing short bursts, as arhythmically as possible. Submitted to Sound-in for 10-13/7/2019.
I should add that this piece has also been uploaded to aporee.org if you want to see the exact location. radio aporee ::: maps - Taylor Creek Park, East York, ON, Canada
Not at all what it seems. Sounds were created by putting a small dynamic mic onto a little battery-powered amp to create feedback. This was then modulated by playing extremely high notes on a clarinet (using lower teeth to adjust reed pressure…
Comments on trawnajim's stuff
Very cool!
excellent! noise reduction is an excellent technique!
nice birds I like the owl :) he is doing counterpoint with the other birds :)
wow
Hypnotic and casting spells. Thanks too for your recent words re my ukulele piece Jim.
kinda neat--- really strange-- but I like things like that-
good it is interesting --
really cool yeah this is wild-
Jim it's great where things that you will utilize become such potential instruments. The higher linear voice is cool and exotic here. Good piece!
Thanks, Bill. The main reason for giving details of production is so that I can remember what I did later on!
Excellent --- I am really glad you explained how you did this --- just great -- thanks for doing this-
yes this is "gas music from jupiter" - I was thinking that gas music could be a theme or music from jupiter or gas music from jupiter --- would work as a theme at some point -- :)
Making a cool idea even cooler. Nicely done
Very cool idea and it turned out really nice.
ahhhh the dream of the plastic noises... greatness --- this is such a literal interpretation of the idea --- cool,,...
Nice groove! Time to get out my didj!
very cool just cool--
haha!
Really nice James.
Thanks, Jeff!!

A drifty, dreamy piece. Nice work, Jeff!!
Wow! Lots of nice things happening in there!
Sure sounds like a load of fun being had!!

Nice one, Jeff! Appropriate for the upcoming "festivities", it has a rather spooky edge.
Nice one, Jim! Definitely got a jazzy undertone going on.

Close enough to the original to be faithful, yet with enough difference to have its own personality. Superbly played!
Thanks, Jeff!!

Thanks! Experimental is my main thing. This is about as close as I get to an actual "tune".
I actually have another one, but it isn't working properly. Have to get it fixed someday.
Lotsa nice twists in that pretzel!!
Sounds like something I might've done with my fretless, back in the old tape days. Lovely!!

Ha ha!
:D
Ha ha, yes of course! Wasn't thinking of that at the time, but it is appropriate.

Not deleted, Bill, still have the original file. Might post it in a minute.
