about

Numbers are never an incidental thing in my work. I think I picked it up from my father, this interest in either finding relevant/recurring numbers in things around me, or the placement of numbers as signifiers of will within procedural systems and a wide array of inputs on electronic instrumentation. It is thanks to this view that I cannot help myself from feeling that certain numbers mean more than others when they arrive in my serial work, and 82 is one such number.

82 is, or was, the year of my wife's birth on this planet. We were born eleven months and several hundred miles apart, and despite these differences, still managed to meet, and again defying all probability, decided to spend the rest of our lives with each other. This 82nd Vibratelepathos session was always meant to be hers, and so it was almost without any consideration what the source of this session would be. The Bliptronic 5000 is a little square plastic machine manufactured by ThinkGeek in 2009, and my wife got it for me as a gift that year, knowing that my studio has always been a "kitchen sink" operation, and that I would incorporate anything capable of producing or processing sound into my rig.

The Bliptronic 5000 is a pretty limiting unit, arguably marketed more as a toy than a real instrument, but when it is routed into my modular system and pulled apart at a molecular level with granular resamplers, filters, tape effects, delays and reverbs, something magical always seems to happen. Here, on the fourth session I've done with it for the series, it weaves through various ever-changing delay lines, octaval shifts, reversals and reverb spaces. The last time I had a session with the Bliptronic in 2021, the modular system was perhaps half the size of what it is now, maybe even less. The results recorded here give me enough pause to think I ought to explore it more, so perhaps in the near future I will set it up for an overnight broadcast.

For now, the two hours of cozy serialism presented here as the 82nd session in the Vibra catalog feel complete, and illustrate once again that it really does not matter what sound I offer the R-EW modular system, that it can fashion entire nascent universes from even the smallest of seeds.
