No Input

[earthless1990]

another wtf japanese "musicians"

[PPRC4]

Muito interessante.

[thomaswall100]

this is a sure way to get tinnitus. 

[ReflexiveBeef]

at 6:58, the rhythm reminds me of Aphex Twin - On (D-Scape Mix)

[IgnorantChimp]

@ReflexiveBeef lol fuck off

kinda wishing i didn't sell my akai s20 now

Sums up the video

[Bizdet]

that last beat at 7:30 is amazing - i could imagine it being like a wu-tang remix or something lol

[seaperon]

i think i saw her making music using a microphone with the cord wraped around the device and it was put o high sensitivity level so that while sehe was unwrapping the cord a magnifiscent sound scape was created! @Instal fetsival scotland

i really ned to know if anyone has seen this or knows anything more like a video or smthing! thank you

[redrawkblue]

Thanks for putting this up.

I did this with my guitar amplifier. I pluged the foot switch output in to the input.

[happyramenstudios]

Just so, so inspiring.

[Natashadoingit]

How the frickinghell do they get that beautiful soundscape rhythm at 6.13?? from feedback?

Would someone be able to tell me how i can create this input thing on my mixer? Is it as simple as plugging a phono input into the output. I worried my speakers will deaffen me lol

Hello,

Nakamura uses some delay/reverb/pitchshift pedals, so it can get very "musical", in the harmonic sense, but he can also be pretty harsh. There's a great difference between his records (the loop you like) and his live sets and collaborations (purer tones, harsher stuff, less loop based).

[sisterenrodentia]

hey-

do you know what recording it is in that clip that natasha pointed out up there? I had always figured it would have been on DO but it's not. I think it might not be with sachiko at all... I have a feeling its the collaboration with Gunter Muller on the erstwhile amplify box. don't ask me why. anyway... do you know?

[moesgard]

@sisterenrodentia

Hey, sorry i didn' check my messages for ages. The loopy part is Nakamura solo for sure, probably his first, or the second one on a bruit secret

[moesgard]

In order to get feedback from a mixing board, you can use the auxiliary buses or the control room buses, and connect the in and out to form a closed circuit. Then, any change in the parameters of sound will alter and shape of the signal. You have to experiment, there is a lot of ways to do the no input stuff. Just be careful with the volume knobs at first, it's extremely sensitive and the sounds can be pretty powerful!

[Natashadoingit]

HI, thanks for replying!

I tried it on my pioneer dmj 600, i basically put the master out into an input, it produced a hum sound, which was rather nice. I was most impressed that i did not blow my head off or the speakers. After this however, i tried to re-create this in logic pro, but it did not seem to give the same effect -perhaps my routing was wrong, but i did try simple in to out routing. Thanks anyhoo :)

[zvodkaz]

its different with digital, as the sound is split up into 'blocks' or something, so they dont really feedback like with analog signals

[Natashadoingit]

it seemed at the time as if i was just doubling the signal like additive synthesis i guess, rather than feedback, but it gave a phatter signal, so maybe its a useful production technique?

[museumoftechno]

I bet you get profoundly different results in digital than you do in analogue. Also, if you connect Logic out to your soundcard output, then wire that in hardware to the hardware input, and send the result back into Logic, you introduce (1) re-sampling the sound each time it goes through the loop and (2) a delay in the feedback, based on the latency of your hardware.

Don't let that stop you, the nature of feedback is that tiny circuit changes make big differences...

[Natashadoingit]

ok, thanks il try that, i have little experience with these techniques but it is fascinating.I only have the soundcard in my laptop (mac) not a separate interface, but could probably do that procedure using my mixer.

[happyramenstudios]

Just try and control your speakers. Set them to zero while you get everything working, then very slowly increase volume. Headphones maybe? It will change the sound though.

[null66913]

Great! Thank You!

[baisevous]

Absolutely brilliant.

[8OM8CLOCK]

nice

[rascalrascal]

very interesting, thank you

Sachico M won some sort of digital music prize for her work with Ami Yoshida.

[s3vr3nXul]

very interesting video. thanks!

love me some sine waves!

[Kuraiyo]

That's awesome. I've been playing no-input without even knowing that it had it's own division in noise music.

[VomitSelf7]

I started about a week before I saw this video.

[phallicmic]

Absolutely beautiful.

[puggo]

thx for the video...lovely sw music

[n0sh1t]

wow awesome

[frankiepop]

I loved it.
