The Battle of Everyouth Rehearsal Segment X

I’m very excited to be participating in two performances during the Northern Spark Festival on Saturday, June 4 through Sunday, June 5, 2011. From dusk until dawn. First up is the Battle of Everyouth from 9pm until 12am on the steps of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. (A segment from tonights rehearsal can be heard below.) Secondly I will be performing an electronic rendition of Vexations by Erik Satie for Empty Words by Piotr Szyhalski, a nine hour multi-media event involving a long list of excellent performers. More on my part in this soon.

Pro-One Major Third Drone with Memory Man Delay

Lately I have not had the Pro-One setup in my studio since I’m using it frequently for live performances. Today I had a rehearsal for the Battle for Everyouth in my studio so afterward I decided to record something from this magnificent little machine. Here’s a drone that I programmed by tuning the oscillators to a major third, then letting them hold while the LFO swept the filter and I adjusted knobs on the Pro-One and Memory Man delay.

Evolving Arpeggio with LFO on VCF

While still in the process of mining sound from previous sessions I came across this arpeggiated sequence that evolves over time as I adjusted the speed of the LFO which was mapped to the VCF.
