day 9

i felt like experimenting today

been too much of the same thing i am feeling

i have this appalachian lap dulcimer i got at a walmart in utah for 20 dollars
it is quite an amazing little box

i put the microphone in a brass umbrella holder
and the dulcimer on top of it

had to duct tape it to the holder to eliminate the heavy buzzing

and then set off into drone territory with the bow

then i had realized i recorded it in the high speed setting
when the rest of the recordings on the tape are in low (or regular to you and me)

so i played it back in the lower setting
and was pleasantly surprised with the result

went back and put another drone layer at the high speed
and recorded it to the iphone at the lower setting

delicious to me and the drone fans out there

i am sure some won't care for it at all

there does seem to be a hi-pitch frequency that comes in and out throughout
it definitely sounds less abrasive on the tape

consider this fair warning for those with aversions to drone and higher frequencies

----------------------------


i am curious
does it click and pop on your computer too?
my normal file sharing host is acting funny again
so i went to the back up

it sure is pretty
but whats with the clicks?
and it wont play on an iphone
and i only get 5 uploads a month for free

this technology business is taking up too much time
why can't it just be as easy as 1-2-3???

update:::
the old way is back up and running
