OK, now here’s the ST51
This is my 60×60 submission. It was made using mic pre-amp test recordings, discarded MIDI sequences, and lots of bitcrushing.

One sound
which i have yet to record is a partially planned improvisation featuring electric guitar recorded and looped, and fed through filters and effects in Max/msp
i would be happy to perform either one not necessarily both, of course

Signs by Lizzie. Piece for April 23rd Gig
As a composer I created something very unique, and this being my 1st real concrete piece I think I did an excellent job. After listening to the piece, I want my audience to feel as if I am taking them into my world, and bringing them out. I want them to gain a feeling of being alone with nothing but signs around, and trying to escape from them. This is a fixed media piece from Pro Tools LE, I used various unique sounds that I recorded and synthesized and combined into one concrete piece.
Self Help by Scott Potter
Self Help (excerpt) is a piece centered around a spoken self-hypnosis/self-help track. The stress of the repeating tones increases with layers as the male hypnotist attempts to bring us to a tranquil place (and maybe he does…). The work uses cello and piano samples, a circuit bent children’s book sound strip run through a delay and looper, a circuit bent Speak &Math toy, and a contact microphone.
