I got a TC1280 rack delay for free recently. The MIDI input peaked my interest. Looking through the manual and it says "MIDI SYSEX documentation is available on request. Please contact your local TC distributor". Odd.
Seems like the MIDI implementation might be lifted from the TC2290, so will try to build a Max patch when I can to mangle the delay times. Not that I've missed sysex commands.

"Knifing Ravel" - a test of a recording approach for an album that never came to be.

In 2023 I experimented with prepared turntable setups. So I stuck a contact mic on a boxknife blade, letting it act as a makeshift pickup.

Appologies to the Ravel admirers. Live looping with an Octatrack I had back then, choice pieces of outboard gear.

The result is this incredibly textural and dense layers of drowned and washed-out orchestral drones. I never recorded an album with it.

Audio diary 05: Accidental diddly bow from PVC sewer pipe.

Started as a prototype for a wind harp, ended up as an shoddy, angry cello.

What if "Rubric" by Phillip Glass was boss music?

Is what I was thinking the other day.
So I had to try it out.

Renoise mini sketches medley from last month or so. Never thought I'd care for trackers, but this is very fun. Straight for the ZL.
