33rd Floor

33rd Floor by krseward

Also hosted on Box.

Yes, a song. But kind of trancelike . . .

Kay acoustic in DADGAD, toy bass drum, voice with & without Dora the Exp. Karaoke Cass. Player, toy echo feedback, ebowed homebrew steel-string instrument via contact mic into crummy no-name karaoke machine amplification with built in supah heterodyning echo, Ashbory bass. That mostly covers it.

Heading Back From The Colonial Store

Heading Back From The Colonial Store, another instrumental hosted on Box.



What does feedback and the phrygian mode have to do with an old grocery store chain?

Who can say?

But here it goes.

Touch Nothing

Touch Nothing, a songlike instrumental hosted on Box.



A creaking ark of pet sounds, it could also called Touch Everything given the even more than more, supah-maximal approach.

Optigan drums as well as organ are in there. Home organ bass pedal, glockenspiel, feedback, sludgy distorted guitar, two melodicas, sleigh bells, egg shakers. Not quite enough, right? The Yamaha VSS-30 sampler will help . . .

Another older recording mixed to wondrous stereophonic sound.

Drag Surge & Click

Drag Surge & Click, an instrumental hosted on Box.



Features slide guitar feedback on an electrified beater acoustic guitar (named "Dylan" by its former owners evidently because it was distributed by a company based in Beverly Hills CA), Salvation Army glockenspiel, kalimba, bass, and wood percussion.

A Sinking Down

(There Is) A Sinking Down, something songlike, hosted on Box.



Yet more mixing the old. Ohio Art Dynamike feedback, vocal through Dora the Exp. Karaoke gizmo, bass and Casio SK-1 organ.

Cymbal Tap

Cymbal Tap, hosted on Box.



Features a few cymbals, each used in a feedback loop with a contact mic and a small battery powered amp. Plus feedback from a Realistic Electronic Reverb and ebowed violin drone.

Recorded months ago, finally mixed down in a year-end press to make things count, as it were.
