Conversations

I made a track titled "conversations" about 5 months ago and i decided to upload it to the media section on this site as well as to the 8bitcollective forum.

This track is called conversations because it was made by taking sound from lsdj and feeding it into several chains into live and having them talk back and forth via midi while generating this piece one building off the other.

Heres the link to it on 8bitcollective, http://8bitcollective.com/music/William/conversations/

responce - a piece for field recordings and drone

This piece is just one field recording and a simple drone generated using the sound from a guitar.

For the field recording i setup inside a jack in the box in greenville and ran a mic outside one of their doors near the drive through to so that i could pick up the cars going through th drive through and the ones driving down the road. The footage was taken from the other side of the store where i placed my camera on a table near the drive through.

Accordion, Drones + Glitches

Ive been putting off doing something with just the accordion and all night i was thinking about doing something with it so when i woke up this morning i set up my mic and started to record some things, i ran the parts i recorded into a two part generative chain which was then ran into four different sends.

At one point i move the accordion closer to the mic to record nothing but the air flow which is where alot of the glitches in the end come from.

⁄⁄\⁄⁄ - (Improv Using Monome + Raw Sounds)

This is a minimal improv i did on the monome using raw sounds, drones, and sounds from a little toy music box, nothing else much to say about it, i hope you enjoy.

music on a monome using viola and kalimba 

I decided to throw 4 seperate records of viola and kalimba(thumb piano) that i had made into mlr on a monome64 and make something new out of them and below is a little clip of the outcome.

Outside Improv On Toy Piano

First off i want to say im starting to use final cut for everything because i deleted imovie by accident and cant get it back on my computer but things should be better this way just give me some time to get used to it.

Another thing is im now using a little hd camera, the zi6 by kodak, its nothing fancy just a nice little pocket cam i can keep in my gig bag so most of my stuff will be shot with that from now on.

Ok time to get to the video, i wanted to test out the camera and a idea for a performance im going to give, i want to use just a toy piano and real time effects in ableton live, in this test all im using is some reverb and delays and a plugin called dustbreeding, the mics are also picking up sound from outside here and there. keep in mind this is just a little test i am working on a more thoughout piece for the perfromance.
