about

Tracks created, recorded and assembled by Bendu in Los Angeles, California.

Window was created for a live performance at the Moogfest edition of Modular on the Spot in 2017. This version was realized with a modular synthesizer comprised almost entirely of Make Noise modules, augmented with a Make Noise 0-Coast synthesizer and a Korg SQ-1 sequencer.

Bowl was created for Disquiet Junto 0318 Linear Training. The task was to make "a piece of music based on a single held tone." I recorded a twenty-inch quartz crystal bowl for far longer than the prescribed "five to ten seconds" and used this as the basis for my music. The original unaltered recording begins the piece.

Indigo meditation was created for Disquiet Junto 0323 Music for Meditation. The piece is for a meditation focused on the third eye. Quartz crystal bowls at 323.24 Hz, 168.26 Hz, and 257.3 Hz, and a Verbos Harmonic Oscillator at 64.32 Hz into a Make Noise MMG modulated by a Bubblesound ULFO. Vocals by Clive Owen Wilson, a cat, and water bowl percussion by Banjo, also a cat.

Cogitate 2 was conceived as a live performance for a Voltage Control Lab workshop. It was realized using the same modified Make Noise Shared System and performed at Modular on the Spot LA in 2017.
