progress in electronics.
I'm interested in too many things. The daxophone is having increasingly little to do with all the circuits I've been building. Annd there are the folk songs I play on electric bass. And then there's the expensive 2880 looper, the backbone of my solo show for about a year now, which is getting stranded in its own limitations. expensive but not expensive enough to be smarter. Nowhere near the complexity of Andre LaFosse's glitchcore freakouts. So many options. I hate bringing so much crap to every gig. I want everyone in one huge box, battery-powered, with speakers.
Tonight I was showing Julia the synthesizer I built. She was sort of interested, but then I opened up the panel and told her to touch the bare circuit board. I did the same. Then we held hands, and the electricity passed through our bodies to short-circuit the synth into gurgling-bent noise. We squeezed hands, and the pitch changed. A knob is a variable resistor. The human body is a variable resistor. We can be knobs. I want to have many wires for the audience to touch, and then they can touch each other and change the music. I want to roll around on the floor with everyone and listen to the sounds change.
