Re: [microsound] Rafael Toral (formerly oren ambarchi stuffs)

[Richard Kamerman <rfkorp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've actually heard very little of Toral's output.  Only album I own is "Aeriola Frequency".
 
But I managed to catch a performance this past year and he didn't even pick up his guitar.  It was all homemade electronics.  Didn't have the guts to go up and ask him about the equipment though.
 
On the topic of electric guitar/computer interfaces, I've been having great sucess using Ableton Live as a signal processing tool.

with the mention of oren ambarchi, i can't ignore the opportunity to inquire if anybody else on this list is taken by the work of rafael toral? I personally think that "the violence of discovery, calm of acceptance" is a brilliant record. I seem to recall some discussion of the ephemerality/desirability/subjectivity of "beauty" on this list some time ago. I would argue that mr. toral's work, as well as that of fennesz, and keith fullerton whitman, manages to be "beautiful" and intellectually engaging at the same time. Up until recently, in my own work, guitar playing and digital signal processing remained discrete practices. 
But, recently, I purchased a new sound card and I am now attempting to find something that works utilizing both tools. Anybody else here a user of audiomulch?
