Hopelessly.Convoluted.Agitated.Elements

patched

Don and I were able to meet up and record two tracks this afternoon - all Buchla 200 & 200e with no additional external processing. In regard to my 200 - rather than relying solely on the 259/266 patch I've been exploring quite often lately I also made use of the 281, and most particularly, the magical/brutal 207 preamplifier.

When I arrived Don had already been working on his very deep 291e patch - his machine was utterly draped with banana cables, some towering in stacks of five or more, coil upon coil. It was practically unfathomable, and the results speak for themselves.
