from the original description:

Sound sample (straight unaltered - uncut 5+ minute recording - MP3, medium quality)

Plutonia (using only sounds from the plutonian, sampled, cut and composed)

notice the high quality of the sound.

This is something I've done a lot of - even up to now. These are incredible pieces and it's all come a long way from here. I actually took this particular piece back from Brian Moran for a short time and gave it an overhaul and upgrade - adding knobs and more control.

The Plutonian Reciever is a glitch machine that speaks incredible alien language. It has various controls for generating and altering the strange sounds it emits...And it's able to freeze waveforms - which works wonders for sampling for use with sampling keyboards or the likes...A good example of this is in the track I made "Plutonia" (above).

Another aspect of this piece is it's "chance" possibilities. It seemingly meanders from one internal program to another after playing for awhile and seems to act in slightly different ways each time it's turned on.

The control panel is a circuit and various points can be touched to alter the sounds in certian modes - for muting and filtering effects. And the lamp in the off-center lights a very bright blue.

A very intriguing and beautiful piece and something I intend to work from.
