NEW YOUTUBE VID

I recently logged onto youtube and it advised I make a one minute introduction video, so I did. It was a great excercise and will hopefully get easier. 

Today's show at Winter Contempt in Brunswick playing as "modern viking" :)

Me Performing at Loop Bar on the 25th of October 2010,
for the Bene Gesserit House Nursery Rhymes.

These are 2 gigs I’ve played recently. I was asked to play a gig on the 25th of October last year which was 1 day after I returned from a trip to Cairns. Just before I left to go, I had been playing around making tape loops and sampling them. What I was using was the high frequencies and hisses from the tape and modulating the sounds using a combination of filters to manipulate the texture of the sounds, creating a howling gale and moaning soundscape. I went from being in the Daintree Rainforest to performing in a bar in Melbourne in a day.

The second performance was a colaborative experiment with Cameron Brew. We had performed earlier in the year at the Library Art Space in North Fitzroy. Cameron had been talking about the ceremonial aspect of performing. For this second performance I had taken several samples from found vinyl records from a Japanese Temple and another of Buddhist Chanting and manipulated them live layering, reversing and filtering them. Cameron played using a feedback loop through a mixer using the mixers Aux sends to add distortion and delay.

I will be uploading the recordings from the gigs and putting them on the music page soon. I would like to thank Shane Reynolds for taking photo's and recording these events!!

Time for August Ambience

This is a New Track I made this evening inspired by some good headphones and being full of Thai food. It was all made using my trusty MPC 2000 classic and 3 short samples.

New track for the evening. Hope you enjoy.

Music on Feillafe.com

Ok so I will start uploading one track a week onto music.feillafe.com, or at least attempt to. I already have one track on there, its called BrownNoise. You can stream it directly off the website. It is a track I made using my MPC 2000 classic. The way I make the sounds is by using a tone generator to sample "pure" tones like square waves or sign waves. The samples are then manipulated using the MPC to change the resonance and the tone. The moments when two sounds go in and out of phase creating waves, or oscillations create moments of tension and penetrate your awareness. The "movements" are fluid and do not follow a traditional format where there is a transition from one to another. The intention is to create a textured experience.
