Feed(Aleppo)[disquiet0242] by GUS

This track uses 2 tricks. 1) FEEDBACK is at the heart of everything electronic, oscillators and filters use it for instance, feedback in any process exaggerates the effects of that process and feedback is one of my favourite tricks, it gives you MORE but always suprises you. This is part of a piece i am working on using four “oscillators” which are feedback loops through delays. By cross-feeding and phase-shifting the feeding you can make anything from tuned harmonic drones to noise. I expect that this shares something with David Tudor’s work but this is all in software. (Max 7) They are difficult to control though and this is edited from a long recording when i was trying to write a song about Aleppo but couldn’t find the words. 2) In addition this piece is AMBISONIC to an extent. The oscillators are tapped at 4 different points (wxyz) to create a spatial image. Ambisonics is my other tip/trick/obsession, such an easy way to deal with 3d space and all the patents have expired so all the knowledge is mostly free and available - even for VR, just google it. Here using ATK plugins in Reaper to mix and Binaurally render the 4 channel recordings made in Max7 down to stereo. listen on headphones! and, off topic #0242 makes me think - who remembers Front 242? or the 242 Pilots for that matter?

this track is dedicated to the people of Aleppo.
