Made a tape loop out of an old track. Very dreamy sounding I think.
Brian Green and I have a split c10 that’s available to listen to or buy now, both featuring monome. My piece is in the same vein of Xylem; Buddha Machine samples layered to create an entirely new piece. Edition of 6 tapes, all dubbed by Brian.
This is what I’ve been using in terms of (theoretical) live performance. monome runs parc/xor/64fingers/flin/sometimes mlr. Microkorg recieves midi from interface and generates sound. DL4 is solely for looping.
Not pictured: computer, small 8 channel mixer, EHX Cathedral reverb, and handheld tape recorder for various field recordings.
MIDI controlled sampler. If you know how sampling keyboards like the SK-1 work, it’s the same basic concept. Playback speeds are mapped to a midi keyboard. Dead simple.
May put up a download link, I dunno if it’s finished enough.
Messed around with Buddha Machine loops today. The version 1 samples are by far my favorite, a lot more sparse than the 2nd or 3rd version samples.
Buddha machine and Conet project samples made me fall in love with sampling. You can let 2 or 3 Buddha samples run by themselves and they’ll make amazing layered sounds. Brand new music from existing materials.
Made this a few months ago. I think it’s tape loop through effects.
Writing poems in cassette inserts.
Playing with music box through delay and DL4. Very fun setup.
