about

CRYBABY (Mark Trayle, 1991-1992) was inspired by the low-tech signal processing of the wah-wah pedal. One of the players generates sonic material -- samples of heavy-metal guitar solos and the unholy racket of "monster truck" engines -- while the others process it. The audio cascades "bucket-brigade" style through the group's signal processing gear, while separate control data flows through the band in a ring. Players use the data from their predecessors in the ring to determine the sweep speed and amplitude of the continuous waveforms that control their audio processors. The player generating the sound uses the same data to control the pitch and length of the samples. The artifacts resulting from the accumulated noise and distortion of the processors and tweaking of sample lengths without regard to zero-crossing points are intentionally left in. – MT
