Hysteresis
17+25 /Percussion
Warped suspended cymbal sample staggered rapidly ten times to create a cascading wave of percussive noise. Various Data+V connections capture, loop, change direction & speed, to 'play' the cascading wave, until it is frozen into a sub-loop by A13+V. At the teetering edge of the threshold, data can by chance spill over, just for a second, to break the freeze and jump to a new sub-loop. Percussive and tonal atmospheres are explored, pivoted to and from carefully, avoiding a fatal short circuit.

2+27+29 /M.Str
Chord played on 2+27+29/M.Str that's been captured by V+22. Teetering on the threshold, subtle changes in resistance causes a drastic shift in one of two directions, some notes are captured, others released.
The way the River sees it
13+10+28, 31+27+29 /Re.Org
Very unstable patch- four connections, each in their astable region. Pressing a key produces one of a few sounds. Subtle changes in resistance between each connection changes the likelihood of a sound.

Either it happens or it does not
'Flute' chord that slowly shifts in harmony. A momentary connection between D3-D7 + V triggers an event which causes all voices to independently gliss up, gliss down, or not change at all. The interval of the gliss depends on the D line connected.

Bell tone, follows a harmonic-series-like scale. Playing around with 10+19 for long attack, 24+G and 13+29 for timbral changes.
