about

Performed on modular synth & pedals. Based on 60Hz, four layers of continually changing complex timbres routed through a series of three sound-on-sound loopers, with lots of emergent spectral interactions. The mix and most parameters are under manual control.

DETAILS FOR FELLOW GEAR FETHISHISTS

Main sound source is DPO to OptoMix to QPAS (left channel), and then to a Doepfer 4x4 matrix mixer from which it's distributed on four paths, two of which loop through pedals via the Harvestman Black Locust:
- channel 1 loops through a VFE Klein Bottle, to which is attached a WMD Geiger Counter, a Zvex Fat Fuzz Factory, and a Boss OC-2
- channel 2 loops through a Red Panda Particle v2

The other two paths go through routes that variously incorporate QPAS (right channel), Mutable Instruments Rings, and modDemix.

The four paths get mixed into a single channel and then route though Echophon and ErbeVerb (becoming stereo), then out of the Shared System.

The stereo output of the Shared System goes into a stereo pedalboard: Earthquaker Avalanche Run to Strymon El Capistan to Pigtronix Infinity Looper to Boomerang III, and then into the board. The board has an effects channel that loops through a Red Panda Context. The output of the board goes to a Zoom H5 recorder.
