Feedback Harmonizer by Folktek
The Feedback Harmonizer, by Arius Blaze of Folktek
Electro acoustic hybrid piece…unfortunately vid and audio don’t synch proper. The piece is based on drone feedback insanity with delay and oscillation.
Feedback, usually seen as an obstacle to be avoided, here it’s reconsidered as a basis for an instrument’s voice. The Harmonizer’s classic wooden aesthetic and experimental qualities are typical of Arius’ other creations like the Harmonic Field:
Aside from basic controls for pitch, volume and activation - it is all touch based. There are four panels of twelve points each that allow the user to play a full range of notes and alter those sounds with an entire amp section.
The amp section controls filtering, resonance, distortion, bass boosting, noise etc. - abundant variations depending on which points are being touched together and how hard or soft.
The Harmonic Field’s touch interface is suitable for 2 users seated across from eachother, similar to a tabletop arcade machine. Hit the link for more examples. -Link
