Faint Echoes

Having the theremin which is faint in volume within the background of what I am playing here grooving and using the theremin as a metronome of sorts. For textural added vibes and sequences in between drum soloing.

After Seance (Visualizer)

This is the Visualizer for After Seance. Utilizing my ring light,sun lamp, and the wall ambient mood lights I own in my studio room moving in and out of different colors and variations. Filtering them into a newtopian space vibe. Adding in nature shots was beneficial to how the wall ambient mood light visuals were developing so many textures I was able to pull off and very happy with the results. Using the One Lab app on my phone again to capture the drum performance.

After Seance (Drum Performance)

This is the Drum Performance for After Seance. Was fun to use more of the Vic Firth Rute 505's in this one with my Zefiro tongue drum faced upside down and allowing the surface of the drum to resonate differently within the rest of the kit. The airy qualities give a lot of texture for me to play more ambidextrous in this one with other electronics flowing with the other drums/sounds I am using. Moving freely amongst my hybrid setup. The placement of the 6 in Roto tom has been a blast to mess around with and is here to stay for sure! Glad to finally release the second half of The Seance series.

Even Tides

This is the second original Stylophone theremin jam adding in auxiliary wooden tongue drum percussion in a split-screen format. Was fun to challenge my sense of timing layering the sounds with the hybrid drumming to add an ensemble feel to this piece. Enjoyed playing more of the mandile wooden tongue drum and the custom wooden tongue drum in this! Enjoy :)

Rapid Waves

A first theremin original of mine diving more into the sounds of the Stylophone Theremin with my Hybrid Drum Setup! Was a lot of fun to bridge sections and dial the theremin's volume in better this time with the rest of the kit and bring enough energy and enthusiasm with my solo based performance!

Testing out the theremin! Loving the fact I got the antenna tuned and dialed in to where I like it so far my first try. Get better each time I play this fun experimental instrument! Demonstating the effect of hand movements throughout and how to control the pitches within proximity of the antenna. Setting the mix k**b towards the center. Using the slider below to pitch bend the sound where I liked it most be it high or low sounds and tame them down. Was fun to mess with! Was well worth buying and excited to plug this up through my Roland Micro Cube amp in my drum room soon and really get down to business!

This is the Visualizer for The Seance. The many visual cues for this one was a process to have fully realized and flow the way I wanted to match the drum performance. One of my favorites I've made in a long time with regards to the multi-layered aspects throughout. Utilizing visuals from back in 2020 or so with the floating eye became a passion project of many varieties using new filtering apps. One Lab by Ilixa has been my go to lately. Being able to create patterns within and around the visuals I create is something special and the ideas within that app are endless.

This is the Drum Performance for The Seance. Was a lot of fun to experiment with the Vic Firth Rute 505's on my Zefiro steel tongue drum and around the kit. Adding in auxiliary percussion and more sounds from the Korg Wavedrum Mini building the track as I go. Creating a whole journey within the sound and the visualizer really takes it up a notch in this one. Excited to keep being this creative and push the envelope of where my sounds/ideas can lead me to next!
