Andy Graydon
Some recent mediations on the metamorphosis of sound. Several of these were composed for media installations. All are focused on the textural detail that can be drawn from simple tones and digital musical minutia. Most of the current recordings here are all sourced from the sound of a contact-miked ukulele, and treated live and in post with a series of filters and delays with minimal editing.
ba522, for Amberola
My remix/reinterpretation of a live performance with Ben Owen in Dumbo, NYC, 5/22/04. I played evolving drones, filtered tones, textures and field recordings. Ben played manipulated field recordings, contact mic, and costomized phonograph tone arm.
