about

Recorded live at No Fun Bar in Portland Oregon. The track is my first attempt a performing solo with a generator organ, a kind of hand cranks synthesizer. Will Mullany over at Molasses Industries designed and built the instrument describing it as, "an off-grid crank powered self-amplified electronic organ. The organ derives all the power it needs to function in real time from a human powered hand crank embedded in the side of the instrument and needs no external sound system to play it. Volume and timbral characteristics can be performed intuitively using speed of cranking and the entirely analog circuitry allows for polyphonic/melodic performance using a top-octave division scheme." I have been working towards a personal language on the instrument with influences from bagpipe and medieval music mixed with contemporary noise influences.
