here is some of my solo sound work. i've uploaded some sounds here:
SLIGHTLY HELPFUL
philosophy: i focus on repetition and the slow decomposing/recomposing of loops and samples. i'm indebted to the nature of the effect: taking a sound, and recontextualizing that sound. multiple effects can completely remove the sound from what it once was, creating layers of sound all within one sample. multiple samples at once create more layers. providing feedback delay to the entire output adds one last volatile layer to the sound.
equipment i use:
BOSS SP-303 SAMPLER
the cradle for the entire process. samples, recontextualizes, and loops any source i want. i draw most of my samples from old records, field recordings, and a bass synthesizer.
BOSS DD-6 DIGITAL DELAY PEDAL
this is extremely integral. i use the delay to create feedback loops that every sound i make dumps into. the feedback loop is tempo-overlaid (sometimes) with the sampled loops to create a pulse. the dd-6 often creates sounds that i can't necessarily control, giving the sound output organic/spontaneous life.
BOSS SYB-5 BASS SYNTHESIZER
i "play" this pedal by holding the cable in my mouth to create and manipulate synth waveforms. this often feedbacks into the delay loop.
BEHRINGER EURORACK 802
a simple 4-track mixer, yet this provides a funnel for any input i wish. in a way, the mixer embodies the entire philosophy of my music inn that it creates a plane in which to manipulate and combine previously seperated conditions.

Very much related to behaviors in dynamic systems, is a dynamics systems approach to sound. Feedback positive and negative forms, are ways of referring to the interactions, and are consequences of interactions, in Limited Fork Theory and in other dynamic or complex adaptive systems.
Such immersion and sonic construction/reconstruction
cycles.
Limited Fork considers itself to be a form of mixer, by the way, and the user of the tool does in fact manipulate with it, including the manipulation involved in the fork becoming a useable tool
(the limited fork is not without some complicity itself, involved in manipulating the user of the fork into using the fork)
Slightly Helpful was more than that, as if over a background of the flux that is fairly all pervasive, clumps of it coming together to produce various forms that have varying visibility, audibility, tactile qualities manifesting of multiple scales at not necessarily the same time or for the same duration.
Thanks.
