Hi,

A guy in work today liked my Audino so much he used it to record a new ringtone for himself.

It's not my work, I have just built one.

On another note, I have moved on from Pharoah Sanders to Peter Brontzmann, but now I am wondering if I have taken this free jazz thing too far ?

Is that possible?

[Reply #6 on:]

I have no idea how 'free' most of it is or even if free is a good thing. I can't get enough of Pharoah Sanders but outside of his solos most tracks are quite restrained.

Any suggestions of what else I should try ?

I saw this amazing italian band called ZU many years ago. Back then they where classified as "extreme jazz" ... now its called math-rock. whatever. sounded like free jazz to me. very un-smooth. you should check them out DuanB

At the moment, I'm listening to the air conditioner. 

For some reason, shuffle play on my PC at work has been feeding me a lot of Ozric Tentacles lately. Which is fine, but it's a bit jarring when it's followed up by Pylon. At home, most recently, I've been bouncing around tracks by the Foo Fighters.

Just watched some Auduino vids at YouTube. That's awesome -- going on the project list.

hi,

I love thE Auduino, you can spent ages messing around looking for new sounds or just wigging out with it. It's incredibly simple to build as well, just 5 analogue inputs.

As a tip for anyone building a new one, mine has five potentiometers however if I was to build it again I would replace the main tone control with a slider, something like a cross fader, no technical reason I just think it would workout nicely - set the sound with the pots, then jam with the slider.

I am off to check out some math rock now.

I was thinking about that some last night. I don't know how this works, but something like what's used in the Hiwatt Echo Theremin would be cool. Some comenters at music sites have complained that pitch control is difficult with that. I don't know, I've listened to some samples, and it sounded cool, but then it was being used more as a sound effect than an instrument.
