A New Toy…

Earlier this week I bought myself a Novation Circuit (as a kind-of-belated-birthday present) since I’d read interesting things about it on CDMĀ amongst other places. Anyway, here’s my first track recorded purely on the circuit. I will be sporadically updating the bandcamp album as an ongoing project (although not a full time one like my 365 project of 2015).

field memory recorder (1)

I’ve had the phrase field memory recorder running through my head ever since I saw an ebay item of the same name (it’s a solid-state field recorder from Fostex btw). Just that phrase conjures up sounds/images which I’ve been mulling over for a few months now.

Finally, over the last week or so, I’ve had a chance to make a start on the project (including writing various sound-mangling processes within Reaktor 5), and now here’s the first track under that pseudonym.

I made a video utilising some footage I found on my hard drive of the old sugar beet factory in York (long since disappeared) which you can see on the youtube clip above.

Enjoy!
