about

"Circuit Messed" is a remake of Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" using a computer running Ableton Live only. I re-created his set-up as he draw it out on the diagram in the liner notes on the cover of the record.

'The liner notes contain a diagram of how this piece was created. It begins with two melodic phrases of different lengths played back from a synthesizer's digital recall system. This signal is then run through a graphic equalizer to occasionally change its timbre. It is then run through an echo unit before being recorded onto a tape machine. The tape runs to the take-up reel of a second machine. The output of that machine is fed back into the first tape machine which records the overlapped signals'. (from Wikipedia)

The notes the synthesizer is playing I got by stretching a part of a midi-file from one of J.S. Bach's Cello Suites.
