about

👻 spooky sounds 👻

inspired by the inner life of metal, being cyborgs, and an ongoing distrust of cables.

metal projector stand with a C-Ducer contact mic underneath, four audio jacks taped to the edge and mega-amplified. I used my hands, nails and a pair of violin bows to make sounds from them. The audio jacks buzz on contact with skin. Processing involves a series of pitch-shifters that depend on amplitude, pitch-shifters that don't, and several layers of reverb. It's in six parts, with each part changing the parameters of the processing and therefore how I interact with it. At about four minute intervals, the programming chooses a different section at random. In effect, I'm constantly fighting to make something out of the chaos of the internal programming.
