Started reading Handmade Electronic Music and got inspired to pull out the Telephone mic (like this). Proceeded to play doctor with my iMac and cel phone.

Installed some Amplitube plugins to give them a shot, and I’m pretty impressed at how versatile they seem to be. I got inspired and developed the experiment a bit, using Ableton’s arpeggiator and scale plugins, and played the scale knob to make all the chord changes.

This was done back in January but never posted as I couldn’t see a way to make much of a song out of it. I’d just listen to the whole thing looping forever. Here’s an attempt to make it change a little over time. The original inspiration (and some samples) for this one came from “Twilight in Turkey” a piece Raymond Scott composed for the Electronium, which is now owned my Mark Mothersbaugh.

Arranged field recordings made in New York and Boston with a beat. The recordings and this track were made last April; I wasn’t satisfied with the breakdown (or lack thereof) when the kids start making noise in the middle, so I’m finally just now posting it. The splashy sounds are from the fountain in front of the Brooklyn Museum, some sounds are from the Botanic Gardens next to it, and others are from the Museum of Science in Boston. Everything was recorded with a Zoom H-2.

Trying out the new Alesis io|26 interface and Behringer B-5 microphone, I made a few recordings tapping and drumming on a banjo, dobro, and various other things near the desk. Looped some to make the tones, stretched some out, and did a lot of timing correction with Live.

Pewter Dachshund has bad-assedly written a soundtrack to complete this video, which appeared in a similar form here before (with a found soundtrack by Signal). I’ve submitted this for consideration in the Sarasota Film Festival… if accepted, it would play in their music video shorts program in April.
It was fun putting this together– I’m sure it was a challenge to make a soundtrack to an already-existing piece of video, especially when I pretty much didn’t want to make any cuts in the piece, but rather to have it flow along, evolving.

This is not really a cohesive “thing” per se, just an experiment I’m happy with. The cuts to purple are where I edited out parts that didn’t make me so happy. Lo siento, no music.

Here’s a recent video… I’ve been making lots using an object that gives me a grid of squares to play with. The music is “Sporett” from Signal’s latest album, Robotron

Chicago shine
Posted in Video on July 29th, 2007 by Chris (contact)Here are two videos that I made by applying staggered frame-blending to footage I shot in Chicago in December.
The first is close-up footage of the Cloud Gate (aka the Bean), a huge reflective metal sculpture by Anish Kapoor. The second is made from footage of the city skyline, as seen from the Field Museum.
I’m going a little easier on the eyes here, these are much softer than my usual stuff.

Holy crap, I made something. It’s like Pan Sonic scored the theme to a kids’ show. Or something.
