I like recording short snatches of radio from my Fieldkit and I used one for this week's project. The brief asked for a tortured sound so I performed a variety of mashing, slowing and speeding up, saturating and reverbing until the string sample became a dirty wall of noise. The track starts with the end result and then morphs into the original sample. The audio degradation then proceeds in the order they were applied with the resulting wavs overlapping a little to give a sense of continuity.

Con Tricksted by noimspartacus

For this week's project I used 3 sound sources, Ultrabeat, a Koma Fieldkit picking up a classical radio station and a pluck module with it's pitch and decay controlled by rapid cycling LFOs, both which were sent into Monsoon for glitchiness and reverb.

I followed the brief by periodically changing, muting or rerouting the FX chain for two of the tracks and keeping one remainder from the previous of phrase.

I patched the oscillator of a dfam to a piezo buzzer resting on a contact mic and fed a random voltage through a string synthesis module and the mother 32

I recorded a short scream and started looping, slowing and speeding up. There was some added background noise from a random classical radio station picked up by the Fieldkit and I added a simple looped line to break up the sound of my screams.

Emerson, Lake and Parsnip by noimspartacus

Memory Fragments by noimspartacus

Recorded a snatch of radio from the KOMA field kit and stretched and compressed it into an audio dough de dodo

I used 2 d10s to select albums, and then two d20s to select the track. I rolled 2,3 and 2,16 which meant both tracks came from Sevenism's 777minus1. Wait was an undulating piano arpeggio slowing to a sustained chord and "What We Do Instead" which was a cluster of delayed plucks. The tracks were fed through Spacecraft on the iPad and crossfaded with the originals bookending the track.
