Minilab ‘Attended’

October 28, 2023

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.

Lagowski 1990 + extras

January 3, 2015

I discovered that the cassette version of this had sold in 2014 for nearly £20 and another copy was available for £40, so I thought I’d make it available as digital for the much easier to swallow price of seven dollars.
