Happy Birthday Rob!<\/p>\n<p>I made this piece in BEA 5 in Sonology in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I was hung over (after playing tuba the night before) and up at an extremely early hour because my dog had an early dress rehearsal for a concert that evening.  I walked by BEA 5 and it was empty!  I had one of those rare moments of clarity where a patch is entirely clear.  I knew exactly how to tune the oscillators and where to route them.  I love chaos patches, but their over-use can be cheesy.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/erobertfrank\">But Rob just recorded an album with a casio keyboard<\/a>.  So no worries there.  I used all 16 oscillators, cascading them into chaos and then sent the output of them to the control inputs of the VOSIM.  I sent the output of that to the third octave filter, which I used to damp the highs and also because it adds a nice character to everything it touches.  It was too early to be awake, I&#8217;d slept too few hours and I was hung over, so despite my clarity, I misplugged a bunch of wires, accidentally sending the sine output and the square output of the same oscillator to two different inputs of the VOSIM, when I&#8217;d meant to take sine outputs of two different oscillators.  It didn&#8217;t matter.  It sounded great.  Maybe better.  I recorded everything in less than half an hour and then came home and mixed it quickly, like a romantic poet inspired by a tree.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5109\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/mp3s\/2007\/shorts\/poddleface.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('5109','http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/mp3s\/2007\/shorts\/poddleface.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/mp3s\/2007\/shorts\/poddleface.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/?powerpress_pinw=84-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/mp3s\/2007\/shorts\/poddleface.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"poddleface.mp3\">Download<\/a> (1.2MB)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shorts: #20 Poodleface Birthday (2007) Commissioned by Graham Coleman in honor of Rob&#8217;s birthday.
