Tone Whore, Last.fm download 2011
Casio SK-5 abuse, the likes of which not seen around here since I left mine at Darrin's. This album is eight processed noise/feedback pieces. Mysterious rhythms emerge and are slapped down with a quickness. I know that the looping function on the Casio SK-5 can provide multitudes of possibilities for unique, or unusual repetitions. The permutations can be endlessly fascinating in the correct hands (i.e. Bryce's, not mine). It sounds like there are some effects being applied in real time here. I like the tremolo type stuff. Piece number three has an adagio orchestral feel, quite pastoral there. Fascinating.
