Fynndlit - Fynndlit VI (Disc IX)

Ok, so I'm getting to a point where it would be really hard to explain everything I did in each one of these songs, but basically, I had a screen I could "draw" on (fairly limited drawing) and it would scan the drawing for the pitch material, and I had a rate knob telling it how fast to read it. I then attached LFOs with random oscillators to all the levels of the rate knobs, levels of different wave forms, etc... I then kind of tricked the synth to play in weird logarithmic based scales by using this converter that switches the logarithmic frequency scale in Hz to the linear based midi 'Pitch' scale, and I used this even though everything was done in midi Pitch so it interpreted the midi pitch scale as a logarithmic scale, and converted it to a linear one, and the end result is a knob that changes the whole synth into a weird tuning system. none of this really matters it just sounds super crazy.

Fynndlit - Fynndlit VI (Disc VIII)

OK so there are two completely separate but identical feedback loops in the left and right ears but sometimes it seems like they are following some interlocking pattern, but technically, that shouldn't happen. I DONNO it's just the wonderful world of feedback.

p.s. It's really crazy for the first few seconds after you stop listening to this song. It makes everything sound weird and electronic.

Fynndlit - Fynndlit IX

The first song is a jam i did with alex, renz and ian. Renz on Bass, Ian on feedback and signal processing, alex on organ, and me adding feedback to the bass. The second is a jam with alex and Christian Noakes. Alex played organ, i played acoustic guitar, and christian played melodica, then we recorded another percussion track on top.

The Universal Carpeter Band - Forgotten Jams

Here is a disc of jams that involved those same people from Something Universal and A Magic Carpeter. I barely remember any of these.

Fynndlit - Zelda Jam

Zelda Jam: exactly what it sounds like. Aaron played zelda for two hours, and I took the RCA out from the game console and plugged it into my input mixer and made ambient music with only the sounds of the game. This was really fun, it gives me this super weird cotton candy block nostalgia.

The Universal Carpeter Band - Trios

So, The Universal Carpeter Band is the name I'm giving to all the jams that were stuck on my old 24 track from late 2009/2010 because now its hard to tell exactly who is on what. But it includes the stylings of Jack Selberg, Aaron Cote, Alex Rowe, Ian Scheiner, Nick Lake, and myself. This album Trios consists of two jams, the first with Alex and Ian, the second with Nick and Ian, both seem super communicational and there was a lot of chemistry between us for these.

Fynndlit - Fynndlit VIII

This was some music that i made with alex and renz where we took a short tape loop and recorded percussion on it, and then recorded that onto a track on my computer, then erased the tape and did it again with different percussion, and repeated this a bunch of times. This way the down beats would technically be the same and they would be repeating at the same time in order to create these super crazy awkward groovin' rhythms! the last song is an improv that was constantly recorded onto a loop, which goes for the second half of the song.
