conditions by Gaudenz Badrutt

Gaudenz Badrutt internal & external feedback, effects, sinewaves, voice, live sampling [LiSa]

"The pieces in 'conditions' reflect situations of fragility, instability and uncertainty in diverse states. One, like 'statics‘, seems to be stable, but could suddenly change.
Others are generally unstable and irregular – but over time they become another state. One gets used to it, even in conditions that are actually untenable"
