below this time does not exist by Todd Barton

"The title comes from a phrase in one of my favorite books, The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. Back in February 2020 while in Italy my daughter and I were fascinated by Rovelli’s poetical unfolding of relational quantum mechanics for the lay person. At that time I selected a few phrases that piqued my imagination and creativity as composition titles for a future album. Coincidentally and spontaneously one day my daughter, Ursula, snapped a photo of me in the Tuscan sunlight which turned out to be quite extraordinary and evocative. We talked about it being the cover for this album. The future has arrived . . . enjoy!

Clock Watcher Erbeverb

Todd Barton

"I just began beta-testing a friend's new, unique clock divider-esque module, Clock Watcher. In this early experiment/exploration the CW is sending random gates directly to the Makenoise Erbeverb (which is in feedback mode) and is also sending gate to various EG which then make their way back to the Erbeverb too. The Erbeverb is the main sound source with some occasional sprinkles of sound from the Instruo Cs-L Complex Oscillator. Enjoy!

"In this improv I decided to NOT use any common clock and let them run free!I used a Todd Barton trick on the ERBEVERB cv control of Size with a square wave. It makes a very metallic percussion sound."
