watching this back, admittedly some moments get a bit noisy, but man, those visuals

Experimenting with feedback. Thinking maybe I can squeeze another album project into the end of the year, even though I'll be on vacation for 3 out of 8 of the weeks left, with feedback patches as the theme.
Current patch: slewed pitch sequence into Rings V/OCT, through Koszalin (downward thru-zero frequency shift), Blades (highpass filter), Peradam (distortion/feedback of its own), Melotus Versio (granular delay), back to Rings audio input.

Intermittently, for the past wee while, I have been trying to work out whether I can make some sort of stand out flexible coolant pipe, to mount a guitar pickup on, but never quite worked out how to balance the weight.
Five minutes ago, I happened on a cheapo flexible gorillapod-esque tripod that I bought ages ago, which came with expanding clips for holding a mobile phone...
Fits, holds, and balances a pickup perfectly!

New module arrived today, Erica Synths Bassline, so had some fun playing around with that, also recorded and posted up a hardware jam I made with it.

Been working on the same tune for days. All work and no play make Jack something something....

when i read "flexible pipe" and "pick up" i was thinking pickup on one end of the pipe, strings in notches on pipe, flex pipe for pitch change, while strumming/bowing
i saw a science guy, weld some mesh, over the bottom of a length of pipe, then holding the pipe horizontal to heat up the mesh on a blow torch, then holding the pipe low, and vertical with mesh down.
the convection plays a note based on the pipes length and diameter.
wondered if there might be a way to do something similar but safe for clumsy arseholes like me

haven't yet, but plan to move things around.
would anyone like to earn some cash? come and unplug all my power and cables, move some furniture, move some synths, rewire and repower everything.
there's a shiny sixpence and a bowl of soup in it for you!!! (ill even throw in some bread and condiments)

Original intention was to be able to hold the pickup consistently, over/near something with metal strings but without anywhere to put a pickup (like my cheapo lyre harp)
Also works for keeping in place near some electromagnetic source, or close to a speaker for feedback...
Its this stuff:

ah, not the pipe i was thinking, i think it's usually used in gas mains, sort of concertina tubes, with some give for bending around corners.
good plan for the lyre and such like!
im guessing no movement on the hurdy gurdy yet?
hmm wonder if a hairdryer is hot enough? ill have to sort some pipe and test the missus hairdryer.
see if genlab will let me borrow a welding rig onsite for a few mins
worked there for years so know a few of the lads who became foremen.

This feedback project is a hoot! I'm alternating between pure hardware and pure software patches. 3 keepers recorded so far.
Almost ruined tonight's because Drezno feedback loops are so fragile. (Patch the DAC output to the ADC input, tangle some bits (DAC bit 2 to ADC bit 1 works well), clock the DAC at whatever rate you want it to cycle, and wiggle the gain/offset until it starts generating a psuedo-random pattern.) At some point it froze on a single voltage, and it was a fight to get it to behave roughly similar to what it had been doing before it pooped out.
(I did try an electroacoustic feedback patch this morning, with a cheap speaker sitting on top of my electric kalimba. But it sounded way too boxy and ugly, so I probably need to use a less cheap speaker for it. I really wish I had an Araya Piezothing instead...)

not yet, but i did properly finish the lyre (ie redid the pegs so they're consistent in height) and a spring/rubber band 'noise box' so im getting a wee bit closer to it on that pile.
