Welcome from In Habit: Living Patterns

This is the third of sixteen pieces that I composed and performed during each vignette of the dance production “In Habit: Living Patterns,” performed at Northern Spark in June, 2012. This started out as an experiment I recorded on my Juno-106 while one of the voice chips was failing. I posted the first, Crowd Dance, and the second, Energy, of this series recently. Eventually, I will shared all sixteen tracks for your listening pleasure.

Wayland’s Smithy

Here’s the latest from my solo project Ostraka (not to be confused with my duet project Ostracon with Graham O’Brien). An arrangement of this will appear on my upcoming album. I can’t say how soon it is upcoming, but I have a big collection of unreleased tracks that mostly utilize analog hardware that I’ve been collecting for decades. This piece has a little of the old and the new combining the Korg Monotribe, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, and Roland MKS-80.

Monotribe Meets Pro-One Part 6

This is the sixth piece from a collection of microtracks that I have produced using the Korg Monotribe synchronized with the Sequencial Circuits Pro-One. This one starts out with out drums and then double bass drum fills come in near the end.

Monotribe Meets Pro-One Part 5

This is the fifth microtrack from a series that I produced using the Korg Monotribe synchronized with the Sequencial Circuits Pro-One. This one was edited out of a longer session where I was taking a few liberties with knob turning on the Memory Man and on the Pro-One.

Monotribe Meets Pro-One Part 3: Two Sequences

This is the third example from a collection of microtracks that feature the Korg Monotribe synchronized in various ways with the Sequential Circuits Pro-One. In this piece I switched between the two available sequences on the Pro-One while manipulating controls on both instruments.
