A collection of one minute pieces without any other rules. This is our second "Miniatures" album, following the "Seventy-Five Seconds" album from the year 2000

Souvenirs is a fragmented dynamic collage realized with my sound report about my last journey in Berlin, in February 2012. http://soundcloud.com/berlin-report-02-2012
Recorded in Emitter19, a sound recording and post-production studio based in Berlin, managed by Kris Limbach and Pierce Warnecke. http://emitter19.blogsport.de/
With the voice and/or music by Pierce Warnecke, Kris Limbach, Hopek Quirin and Rinus van Alebeek.
Also used in this one minute piece, a recording in Herthaner during the Bundesliga football match, Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04 (2:0). Rest moment with Rinus van Alebeek.
All sounds are derived from a 10-second bass clarinet phrase sample that can be downloaded freely from the London Philharmonic's website. The sample was played back at various playback rates, forward and backward, through various envelopes using the Samplewiz sampler on my iPod.
Thanks Rick, This was recorded in one take with all looping and effects done in samplewiz. No further editing or effects except for copy and pasting the beginning at the end to bring closure to the piece.
I approach samplewiz as a livelooper... If you're in "note hold" mode, every note on the keyboard becomes like a track on a multitrack looper (each with a different playback rate). For this piece, I used the forward and backwards loop settings, so things get go sound a bit different. Add some delay and mess with the envelope and it should sound nice. Once you have a good bed of asynchronous loops, you can exit "note hold" n'y tapping rather than swiping the control box (this keeps the held notes). I then changed the settings around and played over the loops without "overdubbing".
Samplewiz is quite powerful... You can also change the loop start and end points in between notes to add variety.
First minute of improvised piece testing out a different setting of the M9 Particleverb. Some level changes and repositioning of elements in stereo field in post-production
My first thoughts on this project were to record all the clocks in our house ticking away for a minute, and see what sort of phase effects might occur. I didn't really like the results, so having completed the 5-7-12 piece, dug out the resonator guitar tuned in DADGAD and played along with one of the clocks keeping time...
Edited from a experimental jam which took place earlier in the week. Guitar and effects/loops, re-positioned in the stereo field during post-processing in Acid Pro
One of the things what I love about your playing is that you have the courage to keep your core tonality and so it becomes distinctly DCO - few players find their identity like that.
Self-obsession taken to new areas previously left untrampled...alternating bars of 5 and 7 beats, overlaid with the sum of the two: 12, as all this came to be at the moment procrastination switched to feverish activity - the weekend of my 57th birthday, on 12 May 2012. Numerlogicalitastic...
Kirei came from the same 30 min sit down for this project as Gintchy (above) and used basically the same setup of guitar, effects and loopers with the addition of a Digitech TimeBender delay unit featured prominently.
I used the same bass clarinet sample as for my first contribution (the longing for repetition), but this time I went at it from a few different angles.
