I’ve been trying out various ideas for S.E.T.I. live performances and the latest one is the KOMA Elektronik BD-101 IR sensor controlling Error Instruments Passive Operator (‘Insane Drum Synthesizer’ in small print). The audio goes out of the BD-101 into the Novation Circuit Mono Station for filtering and to accompany the Mono Station’s drone sequence.
Feel free to download the 24 bit audio (click the three dots next to the player) and image for your own playback system.
This was created with multiple stems of audio, each from a different mini synth, such as the Bugbrand Postcard Weevil, Mute Synth 1 etc. The stems were looped and arranged so that they played back in random order as each one finished. They were then fed into a series of repeaters, delays, modulators, filters and gates in order to create a semi-generative piece. The repeaters and gates were adjusted in realtime to try to disturb the flow.
I hope to have the next limited CD-R’s ready for release on May 6th 2022 via http://lagowski.bandcamp.com. There will be 50 hand-assembled copies. You can listen to an extract of the album via the link below, which is 16 bit stereo. The full album digital download will be 24 bit.
