After building the Noisy Box (see previous post) I wanted to see just how much more I could get out of such a simple little circuit. So, I have made a version on breadboard....

Noisy Prototyping
bdlooper
The b&d looper was created as a performance tool for my bury&disinter live shows. The core of the programe was developed with Tom Betts and then slowly altered and "enhanced" by myself over the years.
The actual patch is made up of 4 loopers, each one of these operates pretty much like an old fashioned tape echo unit, balancing the level of feedback creates the infinate loop. Each looper is tied into the same clock so they stay in sync, although this can be dissabled allowing all sorts of Steve Reich phase music shenanigans.
bury&disinter
bury&disinter was (is?) a solo music experiment. After years of making pure electronica as wauvenfold I needed a break from rigid sequencing. To this end i started making kind of solo guitar "shoegazer" music. The idea behind the project was to use guitar as the only source, which led to using various extended playing techniques and processing to create sounds and textures not normally associated with the instrument.
I had a few releases under this moniker, several on Japanese label Duotone and one for Static Caravan in the UK.
wauvenfold
Wauvenfold is myself and Tom Hill. In 2000 the band Brothers in Sound asked if i would do a remix for their forthcoming release, I got Tom in on it and thus wauvenfold were born. The remix was accepted and through that we signed with wichita recordings and eventually went on to sign publishing with EMI.
