Broadcast Reprocess

about

The second of three supplemental recordings to be issued on the occasion of the Workingman's Drone: Year Three box set, this session was an experiment I'd been curious to try for some time, and finally recorded on Halloween night, October 2019. Having set up a generative/self-oscillating patch on the Korg Volca Kick monophonic analog synthesizer, and left it to broadcast online via Twitch for two hours (while I went out trick-or-treating in the snow with my daughter), I used the volume levels of my Peavey mixer, the input/output of my Zoom H1 recorder and the OBS software I use to broadcast to affect a very specific digital gain profile on the outgoing drone. As a result, the recording I ended up releasing of that session (WD34) was direct from the Peavey board, and did not reflect the broadcast's more distorted sound. The final aspect of the experiment was to record the broadcast itself back through different FX units (such as octavers, filters, reverbs and delays) and a different Mackie mixer, which produced the completely altered mix you hear now. This recording happened in realtime, during the same Twitch broadcast from the Volca Kick/Peavey board output, essentially using the internet itself as an audio processor.

NOTE: The digital version of this release is over two hours, the full and unedited recording of the original session. The CD-R contains an abridged recording, built to fit within the limits of an 80-minute disc.
