Recording audio is something that I am very interested, especially when instruments are involved. At home I spend a lot of time demoing and recording onto my 8 track recorder. I want to be able to explore new areas of audio that I haven't visit before. Although I have been aware, and previously recorded experimental demos, I have never really researched any experimental artists that work with audio, other than musicians.
Dr Robert Moog is somebody who I feel will be a huge influence on me whilst I am producing my own experimental audio piece. Moog, form New York, was the pioneer of electronic music, as he invented the first synthesizer, The Moog.
Before I decide what I want to focus on for my experimental audio piece, I thought that it would be wise to sample a few ideas that I had in mind. Originally I wanted to hook up my electric guitar to my synthesizer to create an experimental audio piece, but unfortunately due to the equipment that I had I was unable to do so. My second idea was to hook my guitar effects pedals up to my synthesizer and work with them, then run the synthesizer through one of my guitar amplifiers. I used a Boss 'DS-1' distortion pedal, along with a Electro-hamonix 'The Worm', which is an All-analog multi-effects processor featuring Phaser, Tremolo, Vibrato, and a Neo-modulated Wah.

When I was recording my demos I set up the effects so that they were on manual so that I could change the effects being produced. To change the sound being produced I just experimented with the range and rate on the effects pedal. I also played around with the modulation, arpeggiator, pitch and octave setting on the synthesizer to see what different sounds I could create.
