Hummingbird Miniature
I’ve been thinking of the little videos I’ve been making with Singing Masks and improvised gesture controlled midi synth sounds as miniatures, mainly because of their brevity.

Drone Drone Droneo
Here’s some obnoxious drone “music” with a genuine drone triggering ancient Chinese bell samples through the AUMI (Adapted Use Musical Instruments) app, with Sine wave drone on C# added using Jhh Löwengard’s wonderful Droneo app, and a bit of leather Fox making an appearance. No attempt to fine tune anything. So now it’s Drone Drone Droneo. December 23, 2018.
