Low Flung is the long-standing project of Sydney based visual artist Danny Wild. Equally influenced by dub’s sense of space and the rolling expanse of the Australian landscape, Danny fuses field recordings and organic instruments with synthesized soundscapes and buoyant digi basslines to create music that offers an uncanny evocation of place and a keen spatial awareness.
I’ve utilized plastic dip in place of silicone. I’ve also seen (as with piezo instrument pickups) utilizing a preamp (either with a battery, or phantom power). I see Metal Marshmallow sells kits….However I see there are similar mini preamps one can purchase. Have you delved into these shark infested waters? I’m wondering what folks have tried, and what’s more successful.
So good! Love seeing peters instruments outside, they come alive when they interact with the environment. Can you explain the feedback that's going on? Sounds almost like a whip bird.
Awesome creation and musical production. Unique creative style. Much inspired and talented. Wonderful orchestration and interpretation. Full of poetry and spirit. Brighting visual production and video editing. A real peaceful and relaxing pleasure to listen. Much emotionnal. Big big big like for this fantastic touching perform and brilliant sharing. Splendid and luminous.
great idea! and most importantly simple. In the past, I have made different designs for the piezo pickup. wrapping film and an elastic band for money worked effectively. But I have experienced low gain and a lot of piezo pickup noise. Now on voice recorders there is a possibility of amplification. I think to return to this idea. Might be a good idea for a video.
Probably an obvious statement, but as somebody from the software world I'm assuming this only works because the mixer itself already generates some subtle signal on its own? Otherwise there would be no signal to feed into itself.
yep I think you are right. Analog mixers have a noise floor if you boost the gain up full, which starts the feedback loop. I haven’t tried, but imagine you could get an interesting result with software if you introduced effects with audible artefacts such as distortion, phase or flange into a signal path. Digital distortion is pretty painful however. Might not be great.
Great video. I started out a while ago with one of those Alto ZMX mixers, can get some really awesome sounds out of it. Connecting two mixers together in various ways is fun too, gives lots of tonal options.
