Electronics
Sometimes I make music with electronics (as opposed to electrically amplified physical instruments). Excerpts 1 and 2 are taken from a recent commission by the Innova music label to create a composition using a piece of online software called the Virtual Rhythmicon. It's based on Henry Cowell and Leon Theremin's early electronic instrument the Rhythmicon. Cowell's voice comes from a 1961 public radio broadcast of his musical autobiography. The full track as well as the album are available from the iTunes store.
The next two tracks were made for a Future Perfect event in Minneapolis. Pulses is based on the Pulses sections of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, and Waves remixes that source material and adds a circuit-bent Speak-n-Spell I made. Stutter is in a similar vein.
The remaining 17 tracks are from a direct-to-tape session processing line noise through loops and filters, made with Tetsu Kondo. Doesn't sound fun? I still kinda like it and anyway it's free.
