yeah, i've got headphase and one effect they use i think is a mic inside an ashiko drum that they don't strike, they just continuously scratch on the drum head membrane with a fingernail or something, makes a sound kinda like an airliner passing over

So much to Bocs music, texture produce by unusual recording methods, tape tremolo effect or real tape that's been messed up dipped in water, had magnets rubbed all over it, re-recorded with a mike on another tape. They are so good due to experimentation. The best.

I might be able to "doouoouoouoouoouoouoo..." it myself with some filtering.

I wasn't saying it is all bad, but it does grind after a bit. Perhaps they could have altered the harmonic composition a little from time to time on that "doouoou" - would have made it more interesting.

I was curious to see if anyone has made music according to mathematical functions: graphically, it is possible to get interesting patterns/ designs using functions, so I was curious to see what the analogue might be like. (sinewaves and saw functions are not what I have in mind - that would be annoying and boring...)

Wouldn't that be like 12tonmusik, Stockhausen, etc?
