For this week's project I took an old field recording from my back garden. It captured the trickle and splashes of a bird bath fountain, cars driving down the road and birdsong. I set up my modular rig and created a very loose synthetic approximation of water burbling, crows cawing traffic and tweeting. I then got a bit carried away in the middle but kept in it cuz it was fun going a bit crazy.

The phrase minimally viable music reminded me of listening to The Caretaker's Everywhere At The End of Time. It's a harrowing listen as over six and a half hours what starts as wistful, joyful melodies become stripped of timing, tuning and coherence. Towards the end you're disoriented by a grey sonic plaque of scratches, pops and detritus.

I took a very abbreviated route and took a simple loop from my 2hpPluck and ran it on successive passes through more and more destructive fx until almost all pitch, timing and timbre information was removed. The end result plays at the beginning before the original loop fades in and starts to be messed with.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.

It was a convoluted process recording this track.

I started recording 115 bars (23x5 (5=2+3))of a Numerology drum and synth patch fed into beads. Playback was slowed to 2/3 speed and I played over the top by hopping through recordings on a Radio Music module to emulate Burroughs 23 Skidoo cutup piece.

My MacBook kept crashing when trying to bounce the track down and would hang whilst rebooting - this behaviour was probably coincidental and unrelated to the number 23.

Major thanks to Eanna Butler for helping come up with this project:
