DGK at Try This #2 (Part 2)
Here’s the second full length segment from the DGK set at the Try This #2 on March 25, 2011. Soon I’ll be posting two or three more segments from the set to complete the non-stop one hour and twenty nine minutes of our performance.

Arpeggio with Nightmare
This arpeggio includes stacked Roland D-50 and Roland MKS-80 sounds, plus some mad, metallic, nightmarish, knob tweaking that I did on the MKS-80. For me the piece invokes a vision of unsuspecting creatures going about their business, unaware of a predatory horror that lurks in their midst.

Granulator Experiment Part 3
In my third example of using Granulator I started by manipulating some of the Granulator parameters manually during the recording. I followed this up by improvising on the keyboard to create an abstract landscape of metallic tones. It might sound like it, but no processing was applied before or after the Granulator instrument, or to the snow globe recording.

Granulator Experiment Part 2
For my second experiment with Granulator I used the same Three Wind-Up Snow Globes recording, but changed many of the settings including seting up velocity sensitivity so that I could play the grains expressively with a MIDI keyboard. Here’s an excerpt from what I played. Once again, no processing was used other than what is built into Granulator.
