Prepared Pedals

Two little delay pedals just hanging out on this speaker. They are set up to play you a song if I turn the power on. Don't mind if I do.



Both feedback settings are set to the lowest they could possibly be to generate a tone, hence the slow crescendo. The one that's focused more on being the M3 up from tonic has the wonderful ability to ever so slowly realize its full sound, so it comes in later. Really, they both are settling into a comfortable drone as they go.

Unfortunately, one of the more charming aspects of this piece is the ability to play different overtones with your head by walking around, turning your head, really any kind of movement. It does not seem to have the same effect in playback. Future plans with this is to make a recording and play the positions in the room.

I know I could listen to these oscillators settle in for hours. If anyone else is interested, I will make a longer recording available.
