A Slam Edit… then the Exhausting version…

24 September 202224 May 2025 kirke

This is a long free flowing improvisational work, performed simultaneously from opposite ends of the earth using a rather brilliant web based looper.

Just very VERY poorly edited (NeedleDrop) set of moments from a 2 and a half hour session with Patrick Higgins, aka… Badrico.

We are both contributing synthetics, and percussion etc… Patrick via a wind controller and keys, (I think), while i’m playing Bass, Electric Guitar, µFreak and Percussion with some real time processing and sound effects.

Mix is a mess because its a live performance and we have to manage as we go…

Just Hit Play: and trance out for 23 mins.

Or… if your a sucker for punishment, or need a longer time out…

The 90 min version, Still some bad edits…

A Review! from the ever inquisitive sonic explorer Marc Weidenbaum who runs https://disquiet.com/ an essential site and mail list for anyone interested in sonics.

“Thanks. I dig this. It’s spacious and succinct at the same time, It’s got a Bill Laswell vibe a bit.”

Some nice work from some members of TriangleKult

Some serious skills from Badrico, Foid, SlowGaffle and … me.

Panama 1989

3 July 202214 September 2023 kirke

So back in1989 a friend (C Giles) and i did a STEINSKY inspired track, all done on a Tascam 4 track cassette, Ensoniq, SQ80, a DX7 and an Akai S900. We created a beat track, then performed the rest in live to tape then sampled bits of the radio news reports as it was coming in live.

The way the reporter was expressing totally justifiable fear, (understandable) but also some indignation that he was not ‘TOLD’ really spoke volumes about US entitlement!

We finished the track 45 mins after the news report had ended ran off a normal cassette and walked down to the national radio station, 2JJ.

We told the on air DJ what we had done, and he playefd it (unlistend) to Australia 10 mins later. One of the best experiences of my musical production life.

THIS WAS IT:

An unexpected little FONK with bananepoep

More Binaural messing around.

I’ve been using a couple of old mixes as test benches for LogicX’s new ATMOS PlugIn. I only have a quadraphonic setup, and obviously, most people are NOT set up in 7.1.4, so I’m rendering these out on Binaural.

First go, so pretty clunky and Not to spec, but quite interesting to play in.
