Step.4D² by St Celfer™

(second version of Step.4D released 11/3/2021)

I'm happy to announce on September 17, 2021, Step.4D² was brought into this world.

There hasn't been much time to celebrate as things could be called tense, us three stuck in a room together. Hear the back and forth conversation, track by track, culminate with the last part of track #16. Sounds like Step.4D² is here to stay.

See you in 2022. I am building a portable and more minimal device, Step.4D.bkwrdE, for playing with others.

Always live and improvised: Step.4D™ by St Celfer™.

Re-releasing earcon style chop-mixes of stcelfer.bandcamp.com music located outside Bandcamp. Track 8 is a remix of a 2003 song by earcon, a prescient harbinger of the music now (https://youtu.be/ACniTQm68bs). It was later played as the last song by Man From Planet Risk in their live sets (https://stcelfer.bandcamp.com/track/three-note-b-s-mfpr-live-featuring-man-from-planet-risk). Track 10 is an outtake from the recent live show at Espaço Garganta, São Paulo, Brasil (https://stcelfer.bandcamp.com/album/lives). It is the basis for the collaboration with Evandro Nicolau, just the St Celfer parts. More from us, Auralmeet, soon... Track 12 is a remix of the latest new material made on the 4th gambiarra instrument, Step.DDDD™ (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lFC7Q1y5aX80Pz4N-TMsZEd2UBJtPLEuE). You can read more about the gambiarras here (https://stcelfer.bandcamp.com/album/stc-lives-i-the-roaring-20s-70). Tracks 9, 11, and 13 are from a St Celfer & Tom Moody release (https://stcelferandtommoody.bandcamp.com) that is now a private album. Last but not least, a collaboration with Isabelle Cedar and Paperclip Crown (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHZHzbOAh1ENjvBvtTRr4n-eYyq28Wj1Q) represented by track 14. Here is the original version (https://youtu.be/X97YjYHAZFI).

Credits

released May 1, 2021

Thanks to my Brooklyn bandmates, Ron, Pat, Drew, Richard and Marc, who taught me how to play, often on the job - meaning: live on stage, including an experienced crowd at CBGBs (R.I.P.) or, worse, a noisy Williamsburg art party.

Thank you also to the people I met on the internet in typical places but also others, where you listened to my story and helped me put together this homemade instrument with ideas & materials.

Postscript: Thank you Mateusz for your correspondence and wisdom

Thank you finally to M.Po [tommoody.us], Bia, BS corp language and almost all communication nowadays for the Step.4D² titles. Also, the Saxen for the Kaoss.

I hope you enjoy.
