#12 Rheingold Stretch : A very long version of the opening of Wagner’s Rheingold. The first 3:57″ stretched to last 1:25:55″ (that’s nearly and hour and a half) the opening plays first forwards then half way reverses and plays backwards. Here is a random minute from the first part (space issues make having the whole file a bit impractical !)

#11 Gnome 2 : another monome improvisation with a harmonics generator and a mix of random and defined events. Getting close to something I might perform with ? This uses the wonderful Polygome for the monome by Stretta

#10 Monday night blink, having fixed the software problem with my monome i’ve been building software environments to improvise with. This one uses a harmonics generator and granular processing with a mixture of fixed and random events so that playing it is like trying to keep hold of a slippy fish !
