ACB Live Volume 6 was lived streamed on Twitch.TV, Wednesday, April 16, 2025 (coincidentally my mum and niece’s birthday). This time around we featured electronic artist, Erik Tinberg. After Erik’s concert I performed Rhodonea in a similar fashion to what I did at the SEAMUS conference last month. The video about is an archive of the event including the performances along with a bit of banter between me and Erik about our concepts and process. Our friend Charles handled the video and streaming duties beautifully.

Sample Glitching on the Dirtywave M8
The Dirtywave M8 has been consistently sneaking its way into my music workflow these days. One of the things I really enjoy doing with it is sample glitching. There are so many generative techniques possible when it comes to the tracker and how it is integrated with the sampling instrument. Things like chance, playback rate, direction, start position, randomization and anything else that makes the sample instrument get weird are really interesting and effective approaches to sample manipulation.
In this clip I have several rows of chains which include instruments, each with different samples and ways that the samples are being juggled and twisted. This involves chance and randomness applied to everything from delaying the note to reversing the playback direction. All the samples are sounds that I either recorded or made using synthesis or other sound design techniques. The range of possible textures is remarkable even without a wide range of samples to work with.
