Another January weekend, another day spent faffing with ice cubes in glasses in the kitchen; one year i should actually record a drink, shouldn't i?*
After recording a few cubes in a large tankard-style glass, I made an annoying though possibly reusable rhythm out of small sections of clink, thwock & crack. I took this track and, for conceptual continuity, placed it in a re-used Audiomulch set up from last year. I tweaked this set-up a bunch too, mind - made additional connections, added egregious amounts of delay - so as to not feel too lazy, too repetitive, i guess. I made 3 versions of the output from this set up - 1 at 1bpm, 1 at 66.5bpm & 1 at 115bpm - & sort of tried to get them to argue sympathetically; in addition there's some super lo-resolution mp3 tracks, 'cause there's something icy in that defocused texture, to my ears anyway. Finally i made the playback somewhat wayward, just to sort of... *aqueous* it all up, you know? It's *sorta* sliding...
Shouts & peace to Marc who keeps this whole thing going with admirable focus & dilligence & to all Junto-ers new & old. :)

*i have drunk all the water released, minimal waste here, promise. Though, I was mainly on jasmine tea during this track's construction; the sonic nature of which is minimal i feel, despite my having a sort of urge to suggest it as a possible junto at some point...
