Imbued Vagary - Post Roast Beef Sandwich

Here's an excerpt of a live improv from FFS II Synth Jam 2022 - Birthday. Recorded at FFS II on 07/30/22.

Recorded after a dinner break (hence the song title), we wasted no time in working off our meal.  The track features Ttam Troll providing a sumptuous synth bass part on the Moog Minimoog Model D, mC2p4 effervescently refluxing forwards, backwards, and bi-directional audio collage samples on the Ensoniq EPS, and Steve O's delectable synth leads on the Korg Z1, Studiologic Sledge, and Kawai K5000S.

New Year's 2011 Audio Warfare Sessions

Every New Year's, Any Questions? assembles to create live improvisational audio warfare. This year was no different. Ttam Troll and MC2P4 descended upon the studio at FFS II and recorded a series of performances. A favorite from the sessions is one simply referred to as TR-3, a 5+ minute distorted, analog synth throb which is sure to leave your speakers blown and ears bleeding.

P.S. This photo of Ttam Troll was taken on 05/15/10 at FFS II Synth Jam 2010 - '80s Style.

Any Questions? - Ascension

While preparing for Dan Jam 2010 last weekend at FFS II, MC2P4 (R) and I (L) worked on a few ideas that we thought we could use as templates for our improv sessions. One of these, a song idea we called Ascension, is a pounding and unrelenting piece.

The genesis for this song idea began with a programmed beat on our Roland MC-303. MC2P4 quickly picked up on the groove I set and began playing a synth bass part on his Korg Z1. I then moved over to the Roland RS-09 and Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 to add synth strings and an analog drone. After a short while, we hit the record button and the result is what we share with you now...

P.S. This behind the scenes photo of Ttam Troll (L) and MC2P4 (R) was taken by Kelly Hoffman before Any Questions? performance at the Music Invasion Festival (07/10/04).

P.S.S. Note to MC2P4 - We must get the volume control knob/end output stage on the Roland RS-09 fixed so it doesn't crap out like you can hear on this track. "Write that down!"

Every New Year's, Any Questions? assembles to create live improvisational audio warfare. This year was no different. Ttam Troll and MC2P4 descended upon the studio at FFS II and recorded a series of performances. A favorite from the sessions is one simply referred to as 2010, a 10 minute analog synth death march which is sure to leave you goose-stepping into the New Year.

The personnel on this improv is Ttam Troll - Synth Bass and Drum Programming and MC2P4 - Synthesizers. The video footage is taken directly from the live oscilloscope feed which was recorded during the session.
