Year: 2000

Album:
Land of the Lost

Artist's description:
standing in the cornfield you watch the corn grow and
the searing hot days pass on to night to day to night to day,
taller and taller, until you are one with all there is...
for you are one of them...
your roots dig soil,
your stalk stretches greedily for every ray of the murdering sun
in the anguish of a midsummer's thirst...

Wave of My Dusty Soul


this was created by taking the wave file of My Dusty Soul and essentially smearing and refining it - the analog of taking your palette knife and pushing it horizontally across the the painting you freshly made causing all of the colors to blend and create trails - now do that many, many times in many directions and magiacally be able to prevent the colors from turning to gray - all that is left are the harmonics and occasional fundamental tones of the original - it sounds metallic at times because the some of the sounds have blended and become non-harmonic - it took many passes of cool edit effects back when it took a couple to four minutes per pass of processing - yes.... it is obsessive.

I consider this as a short example.
The stretch function of CEP is a very nice tool when used beyond..
And related to harmonics : setting the carrier (Splicing frequency) will make quite a difference.

OT :
for people who are interested in CEP :
do a search for "Peter Quistgard", a Dutch artist working with live electronics... :)

I didn't use the stretch function.

I used reverberation, echo, reverse, and heavy noise reduction.

I see I need to post My Dusty Soul - you will see they are almost the same length.

Sorry, my fault. I guess I was pre-emphasized by other current topics..
