The approach is over: something new is born.

In this episode, my virtual instruments and filtered Yamaha PSR-3 are mixed with the audio contributions of Grandma Bette, whose members recorded ambient sounds and narration as well as a musical track, "Birthing Force," using the semi-modular Noiselab, theremin, and kalimba.

An ambient & electronic mashup featuring the works of Logan Aubeuf and Z Radio. Produced by Bert Jerred.

Z Radio created, "Fantastic Space Raid," "HydroJam1," and other experimental audio - including hydrophone recordings of the Ashley River in South Carolina using gear from Cold Gold Audio.
