I've been travelling a lot recently for my more mundane 'real life' responsibilities, which has made it difficult to experiment as much as I would like. Since many of those experiments find their way into episodes of the podcast, it means I recently seem to find myself under the proverbial gun more often than not.
So, before I embark on more travels later this month, I figured I could use a bit of downtime this morning (a Sunnday) to feed some material into Thee Transmitter to see what happens. While I've been experimenting quite a bit with cybernetic systems as of late, this is NOT that - this is a traditional live performance using the Max For Live version of the transmitter devices with some light mixing and mastering after the fact.
I do hope to share some of the more generative and cybernetic outputs soon, as I suspect they will be suitable fodder for the rest of the system. Maybe Thee Transmitter itself will gain some related capabilities...

0209 – The Brigadier Equinox
I noticed that I had fallen slightly behind on podcast episodes, so I decided that there was no better time to catch up with a 9th episode in the 9th month sometime around the Autumnal Equinox and my own birthday.
I've been working a particular tune to death recently with the aim of submitting it for consideration for a compilation. I started layering in more stuff, trying to bend it away from where it had begun. More melodic. More atmospheric. Less abstract. More rigid. The things I tried as I pushed it into different spaces was showing no immediate end, and I was getting tired.
I then took all of the rhythms away, then took that and granulized and stretchified it. Now we're here, and you have an episode of the podcast to listen to. I'll probably end up submitting the original version of the tune, which was already earmarked for my next release anyway.

0208 – Watchtowers
Wherein the Transmitter hath taken two works of sound, begotten of angelic converse and the visions thereby unveiled, and subjected them to the art of permutation: that the Voice might assume new vestures, and the Vision pour forth an ever-changing song unto the exhaustion of Eternity. The original works shall manifest in the forthcoming compilations of the Hermetic Library, ere this year hath run its appointed course.
