Re: Boston Cyberarts Festival
Fascinating, David! I find the music very beautiful. It's often
reminiscent of simple, relatively primitive instruments like the berimbau
or even tambourine, ironically enough.
I've been having some fun in this direction myself. I recently bought
what I think is the holy grail of four-tracks for the cassette looping I
do, a Tascam 464, which has 12 inputs (four of them stereo), two effects
sends, and the smoothest punch in/out I've heard yet. (for $30!) I've
set it up so my three echo units all are able to send feedback to
themselves through the mixer. This has great possibilities for onanistic
(literally) noise generations, combined with my cheap-ass Ibanez DE7 echo
pedal, which produces fantastic digital noise when sweeping the delay and
feedback knobs rapidly back and forth. There's something very pure, yet
totally impure about it.
Kudos for a truly original approach. The "Feedback workstation", yeah!
