Vehement Denial b/w Platelets (7") [2014]
2014 single as part of the Make Noise “Shared System Series” in which a modular synthesizer was sent to Alessandro Cortini, Robert A. A. Lowe, Richard Devine, Surachai, and myself & a pair of pieces was prepared by each solely using the instrument. Gorgeous vellum sleeve, clear vinyl.
I discovered a small pocket of copies after unpacking the last of the records from the move back to the States; while supplies last!
Borrowing a bit from the techniques that Pauline Oliveros used in her earliest pieces, I started by running the Wogglebug at audio-rates, using the smooth & stepped outputs as an fm-source for the DPO running at sub-bass frequencies & patching the clock into the Rene running a diatonic sequence. The various wrap-around heterodynings essentially added a third “voice” to the patch & the resultant “tonal” rhythms started resolving themselves in nice ways, reminding me a bit of the sort(s) of experiments with drum-programming I carried out in the mid-90′s whilst I was still recording as “Hrvatski” … there was enough gain in the input of the Phonogene to preamp a small battery-powered microphone, which was getting a real-time feedback loop of the sounds the Skiff was creating, plus a little bit of drone-singing & in-situ Concrète-sound – both track were recorded in real-time to a PCM recorder, a digital dictaphone, and a cassette walkman.
