music4yourTrip unites the power of improvisation with the vast sound palette available to the modern electronic musician. The players on each session vary, as do the rigs they use. The result, however, is always fascinating to hear, now beautiful, now thrashing, now danceable.

    Suspected Intelligence (and Grape Soda)

    WHAT This one is a short, 46-minute journey into the world below, but always ascending. And the world above, but drooping and perking up. Listen as these humans improvise in a no-holds barred explosion from the rocket-launch pad. Minio Class: keys Dan Rosenstark: drums Mike Rosenstark: guitar GEAR Control: All rigs performed and routed via MIDI Designer Pro X on iPad. Guitar and sources: Bleep Labs Thingamagoop, electric kalimba, Moog Little Phatty into Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Fractal VP-4 units, AM4, dual Eventide PitchFactor, Boomerang Phrase III with Sidecar. Augmented with Pianoteq, Native Instruments FM8, four spoken word channels, and six internet radio feeds, running on an Apple M1 MacBook Air with a full plugin chain. Drums and percussion: Native Instruments Maschine MK3 and Jam, YouTube sound sources, ValhallaDelay, iZotope StutterEdit (the first one, thanks Devine). Keys: Sequential Circuits Take5 and Arturia AstroLab 37. Thanks to Ableton Link for keeping us together.

    It’s Over (you didn’t pay your citation)

    WHAT They come in loud and the first few minutes are dense. Things overlap, then separate. Space shows up. They listen more than they talk. But it's always evolving. By the end it’s stretched out, slightly odd, and steady after pushing through the mess. Kevin Brown: bass Dan Rosenstark: drums Mike Rosenstark: guitar GEAR Control: All rigs performed and routed via MIDI Designer Pro X on iPad. Guitar and sources: Bleep Labs Thingamagoop, electric kalimba, Moog Little Phatty into Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Fractal VP-4 units, AM4, dual Eventide PitchFactor, Boomerang Phrase III with Sidecar. Augmented with Pianoteq, Native Instruments FM8, four spoken word channels, and six internet radio feeds, running on an Apple M1 MacBook Air with a full plugin chain. Drums and percussion: Native Instruments Maschine MK3 and Jam, YouTube sound sources, ValhallaDelay, iZotope StutterEdit (the first one, thanks Devine). Bass: 7-string Conklin fretted bass with Bartolini pickups into Fractal Audio AX8 and VP-4. Thanks to Ableton Link for keeping us together.

  3. The Soft Collapse of Structure and Muffin

    The Soft Collapse of Structure and Muffin

    They set up, find the missing cable, restart once, dial in levels. No count-in. A couple early starts, then they let it run. Some talking at first, then it settles. Ends up wide, varied, somehow cohesive anyway, the kind of session you keep coming back to because there’s more in it than you thought. Bass through a Fractal Audio AX8. Drums, percussion, and spoken word via Maschine and Ableton. Guitar direct and processed in the chain. Everything controlled from iPad with MIDI Designer Pro X. Nick Shelhoff: bass Dan Rosenstark: drums, howling Mike Rosenstark: guitar
