Most of the stuff I do now is on one-off situations and / or isolated tracks that it'd be weird to create new topics for, maybe that's the case for more folk here, so this is more or less the "listen to each others' bands" thread for the new PRF, for people who don't have regular projects going.

During the PRF down time a few things I was in came out, first of which was my first ever solo performance, that I did as a vídeo for an online experimental music series, this was it:



I never cared for doing music on my own, it took the pandemic for it to happen, but I enjoyed what came out of it. I tried to come up with a concept that would work with the simple video setup I had at hand (one iPad and its built in mic, one take).

A little later this collaboration with my friend Abdala came out, he built a track based on samples of guitars I'd played for a previous record of ours, and on top of that I created and played bass parts and mixed it, I really like it:



Finally, a couple months back I was part of an improv event in which my instrument was the processing of other player's instruments. I'm on the first set of this video in a duo with drummer Flavio Lazzarin, who adds contact mikes to his drum kit, it's really noisy stuff:



On the same event we had a set of conductor-led collective improvisations with a nine-piece group, it was really hard to respond to the signals, given the nature of what I was doing, but it was an interesting challenge:

Good idea to continue the aggregating thread for sharing our own stuff, I liked that format a lot too. As far as I am concerned, this thread could also totally go in General Discussion, but it's cool here too. Looking forward to checking out your recent stuff, Bernardo!

Yeah, as for me I preferred the old format... The Echo Chamber puts me at unease

Very cool! And that sort of "Machine Guitars" things must also be a lot of fun to play with, I want to try some day

I really love those improvisations!!

A friend and I made a bunch of new tracks (with a project name that was sorta ha ha funny in 2019 but a bit shameful right now) from last fall thru February. I grew tired of making lackluster 'documentarian' recordings in my basement so I really dove into triggers, synth pedals, and any effect I could get my hands/plugin chain on. Here's the playlist:

Totally missed these:

Thanks, that's the first time I tried it, will try to find a different spin on the idea if I go back to it.

I like this one a lot.

Like this too. Reminds me of later Download, but less erratic (i.e. more enjoyable to listen to).

Thanks, I do feel that my abuse of random seed midi generation is getting a little out of hand though.
I don’t understand why I cant get into Kevin William Crompton’s stuff more. All things being equal I should.
