Abstract
"Mirage is an exploration of a technique I have developed that I call complex feedback. I used it on my 1989 CD with Jim Denley, Time of Non Duration, and Mirage is a further development. The technique involves linking digital and analog sound processors to a custom mixer with many patch leads - no synthesizers or sound generators are used. The result is a hybrid instrument with enormous timbral possibilities, having literally chaotic origins. The last time I assembled this instrument, I recorded two hours of interaction, mindful that nothing would sound the same again. Mirage was then composed from about ten minutes of the recording. These sounds have their own life, their own individual ways of moving and changing. Virtually no layering or further processing was used, so as to retain this original vitality." -- Kimmo Vennonen
