The Limits of Control

An improvisation from about an hour ago. I wasn't planning anything, just experimenting, but it eventually got to the point where it seemed appropriate to hit the record button and this is what ensued. Recorded off the mixer to Zoom H4N. The only edit was a fade-in at the beginning (once I figure out where the "beginning" was).

This was done with a single oscillator (the carrier output of a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator), going through the Repeater Noise Swash, which I somehow happened to catch in an unusually sedate mood. The signal is then routed through an effects loop consisting of an Ekdahl Moisturizer and a stereo Deluxe Memory Man with Hazarai. The DMM is in a pseudo-frippertonics mode with a three second delay.

That's the audio portion, but there is also a fairly complex control voltage configuration going on involving a Moogerfooger CP-251 Control Processor, with three different LFOs (from the CP-251, Ring Mod, and Moisturizer) running at very slow rates and modulating each other as well as various aspects of the audio.
