After 3 months of collaboration [emptynoises] and abre ojos have just finished an album full of modular synth goodness. On it you will find four tracks each of which followed this process:
seed -> swap -> process -> swap -> process
where each of us would start with 6-7mins of sound, swap it with the other and either process it or create a response using everything from our modular systems to software including ableton live.
All tracks are 192 MP3 files.

Abre Ojos playing the track “Destre Chi Kegro” live, recorded at the DE:CONstruction night at Forepaw gallery 5th September 2008 Melbourne Australia.
Shot by the legendary Screwtape (mp3.com.au/Screwtape) and recorded by a Edirol R09 from the mixer. Some of the audio was clipped and needed plenty of TLC to coax it back, but there are still a few glitches.
Screwtape was also cool enough to do a review: mp3.com.au/Screwtape/Blog
check out his tunes while yr there too!
Cray on Buchla 200e vs Abre Ojos on custom Euro modular, live improv at Make It Up Club 25th Nov 2008 Melbourne Australia.
Not a lot to see as it was shot with a HV20 on a stationary tripod. Sound recorded straight off the mixer by Stephen Richards via an Indigo card & Powerbook in Ableton Live.
