The Shnth Comes to England - with Peter Blasser

Recorded in performance at 119 Gallery (Lowell, MA) on January 25, 2014. I played a Shnth with processing and looping. The piece is in three sections. To make this version, I edited out the first couple of minutes of playing and added a fade-in at the beginning and a slight fade-out at the ending, but there was no other post-production other than conversion from 96K/32-bit WAV to 48K 320kpbs MP3. The first section uses an 8-note scale devised by Lou Harrison, and the tones and chords are actuated by my breath as I blew into the Shnth's built-in mic. The second section moves back and forth between two 6-note metaslendro scales played on the buttons of the Shnth. The third section returns to the Harrison scale, also played using the buttons. The two channels of the Shnth's stereo output went through two Grunge distortion pedals (used only in the third section), and were then combined into a single channel. This mono channel was split up and routed through a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator and a FreqBox in parallel, and then recombined along with the original signal and sent to a Moogerfooger Clusterflux, the stereo output of which went to a Deluxe Memory Man with Hazarai and finally a Boomerang III looper, both in stereo. I used an Ekdahl Moisturizer reverb unit on the mixer's FX bus. The recording was made directly off the mixer. All the nutty routing was facilitated by a Repeater Electronics 4x4 passive matrix mixer -- a very helpful device. The Boomerang III loops throughout in pseudo-Frippertronics fashion. In the second section, the Deluxe Memory Man is temporarily switched into a similar mode, but with a different loop duration, which allowed me to build up clouds of notes that were only approximately predictable (similar to the technique used in Collider). In the first and third sections, the Deluxe Memory Man is used more like a flanger. Here's a photo of the setup (taken at home before the gig): http://www.flickr.com/photos/seidel/12135979426/ The image is from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DNA-RNA_D-loops,_greatly_exaggerated.jpg

Merry Shnthmass! This is a little piece for the Shnth. I recorded it directly from the Shnth to Zoom H4N recorder, then edited it in Audacity to clean up the beginning and establish an ending. There were no effects or other post-processing, the Shnth was the sole sound source. The piece is autonomous in the sense that it just performs a process without any intervention once started. If left alone, this piece as written will continue to play as long as the Shnth has power, so properly speaking, this is an excerpt. The picture comes from the Shbobo site and is used without permission, but I'm assuming they won't mind. Here is the complete Shlisp source code for the piece (unfortunately without my nice indentation, because it's the best I can do on SoundCloud): ; merry shnthmass { (srate (short 18 79)) (mounta 13 101) (mountb 11 103) (mountc 19 107) (mountd 17 109) (lights (mounta)) (pan (mounta) (wavea (and (sawa (short 17 1) 137) (sawb (short 17 11) 137) ) (mountb) (mountc) ) ) (pan (saucea 96 (mountb)) (waveb (and (sawc (short 19 1) 137) (sawd (short 19 11) 137) ) (sauceb 96 (mounta)) (saucec 96 (mountd)) ) ) }
