I recorded myself typing on my works computer, transcribing a commentary of what i was doing and thinking at the time. I then fed this into Gleetchlab and routed and mangled the loop as well as running it through the TAMS physical modeller to make the resonant clangs.

On reflection it looks like I'm an angry typist, my keyboard sounds bruised.

I left my Tascam recorder out by a solar powered water pump and it captured the sound of the water, birds, traffic and towards the end; the clank of the pump as it struggled to spout water

Kingdom of the Drowned by noimspartacus

I took a Soma Ether and scanned the em fields of my modem, server, gas boiler and light fittings. The output was then fed through Beads, Clouds and Wires .

As per instructions I took a recording of a car driving past, rain on cobblestones and me live scanning a FM radio band on my field kit. I screwed around with the playback speed of the samples and fed parts of the audio into Rings and Beads. I had a relaxing jam in the conservatory watching birds flit across the bird feeders and feeling the sub bass rattle of a bus speeding down the main road.

My audio collage was made by setting up two radio music modules, one playing banks of unfinished tracks I'd done and another filled with audio recorded from public radio. I also set up the radio receiver on a Koma Field Kit to live scan an FM band, whilst the sources were triggered and scrubbed by a complex rats' nest of clock synced LFOs.

I can't really call it a composition as it was me simply setting up a process and documenting the chance encounter. Somewhat fortuitously the Field Kit locked onto a local station broadcasting Covid public service announcements hence the title. Consequently the mix is very rough and unpolished and the chance interplays of radio snippets is best heard on headphones.

Suffering from insomnia I spent the wee hours fiddling with a couple of Hainbach apps, Fundamental and Gauss and this is what happened.

Macular Degeneration by noimspartacus

I sat in the dark with my eyes closed whilst stroking the touch plate of my Plinky synth with the output unmonitored. The audio, pitch and touch output were sent into a migraine inducing spaghetti nest of switches, dividers, envelopes and switch registers ttiggering randomly assigned voice outputs.

I ran the resulting audio file into delay and reverb to smooth out some of the jarring modulations and slowed the playback down a bit to make it less fidgety.
