Interconnected Self-Playing Patch

Don and I were able to meet up a few weekends ago, intent on connecting the 200 and 200e systems for an expanded self-playing patch. Here are the results:

Hopelessly.Convoluted.Agitated.Elements

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.

Hopelessly.Convoluted. (edit)


Agitating.Elements. (Recording Removed/Archived)

No.5

At the basis of this performance recorded Friday at Railroad Earth are two self-playing patches Don and I drafted beforehand, with some manipulation occurring during the performance. Sadly not included on this direct recording were some interesting additions added by other artists moving through the area where Don and I were set up.
