Notes

A couple of days later after returning from Paris I had my devices set up. The first five tracks were created at my mother's place, and the rest at my old place where I soon returned.

Claustrophobic Infinity Experience and Ajan ja Kehityksen Laajentuma (Expansion of Time and Space) were named by an observing friend.

CIE:

lobotomy dissonance
main brain pain gain
electric hens
trapvawe
rise and fall of reason
unintented motion in abyss
multifaceted demonlurk
bombarding the causal universe
shattered space
dislodged images
inner world in motion

AKL:

kadotuksen turva
autuuden palo
lasku unholan loppuun
viisaalloinen taantuma
mielettömään yritykseen
uusi turhuuden taso
edelleen häiriintynyt pyrkimys
egon tuho uudessa rauhassa
mahtava köydenveto ilmassa
hinkäisten nousu kohti syyntakeettomien paratiisia

Both of the tracks employ a feedback system I had built in my mixer. The outputs of three effect loops were fed back into mixer channels, and the channels were directed back to the effect loops. So a three oscillator sound device emerged, and the oscillators could be cross-modulated by feeding one channel to other channels effect loop.

The oscillators could be panned and their frequency adjusted with the channel EQ. With that setup I begun experimenting with binaural sound by tuning the feedback loops just slightly out of tune and panning them hard to left and right. The overload lights of the channels indicated that the loops were in action.

Mikroheimotanssi is a duet with another friend. The melody of Hullu appeared when I plugged the midi out of a drum machine to a synth, I had created the the rhythms of that track first and the decided to try out what would happen if I did that. In Televisio I have sampled a NATO leader who was giving a press conference about the NATO campaign in Kosovo. My sampler could only sample one 10 second piece at maximum because of its memory limitations, and so I would just hit record when I felt right and hoped for the best.

Compilated from the sessions Aikavaihe, Claustrophobic Infinity Experience, Ajan ja kehityksen laajentuma and Kotoni.
