about

“Open… Doors of Time and Space…” is an excursion that focuses on a different way of looping, by use of the Blukac Endless Processor. The Endless Processor analyzes snippets of sound up to three seconds and converts them to a clickless loop, one that encompasses all the timbral and frequency information captured and distributes it throughout the loop’s length. Linear time is removed in a sense…

However, the result isn’t a static blur, but rather a deep sonic structure that encapsulates microscopic rhythms and movement. Depending on the size of the captured analysis the EP can deliver pitched tones, noise structures, and even undulating pulses with multiple pitches. With up to 5 analyses per channel, the two channels can create dense clouds of tonality that not only invite, but require deep listening to hear fully.

These improvisations, captured live to a 4MS Wav Recorder, generally consist of basic one oscillator synthesizer voices into Low Art Encirclement (Harvestman Tyme Sefari's MK I and Mk II with Zorlon Cannon Mk II) as the input, with Ieaskul F. Mobenthey alternatively used in one track. A Pladask DRADD is used at times for granular time lag accumulation on the synth voice.

I’ve created these tracks with two approaches; True Endless Processing, where I don’t monitor the input material and it isn’t present in the final track, and Applied Endless Processing, where the input material is monitored and part of the finished piece.
