Cosmic Homeostasis - [set 4 excerpt]

On a beautiful afternoon to be outside, the Cosmic Homeostasis crew settled in under some big trees in Riverdale Park and served as part of the background sounds for a life drawing session. (Other parts of the background sounds were provided by birds, dogs, passing streetcars and other environmental features.) Drawing takes time, so the session stretched out well over two hours, giving lots of space for sound exploration and drift.

The homeostasisists this time around were:

• Abigail Trotsky - electronics (sets 1 + 2)
• Broken Pink Umbrella - theremin + effects
• Chris Trotter - electronics (sets 1+2)
• Dan Friedman - wood flute, harmonica, oscillators, resonance, feedback, memory
• Del Stephen - keyboard synthesizer, flutes, whistles
• Heraclitus Akimbo - Sound Urchin, lyre, synths, Zoia
• Mira Martin-Gray - laptop (sets 3 - 5)
• Paul Newman - tenor saxophone
• Rob Cruickshank - electronics
• Siobhan - OP-1 synth
• Zack Berwick - eurorack sampler
• birds - bird sounds

And as always, the full set is available over on bandcamp:

[The next scheduled Cosmic Homeostasis gathering is at The Tranzac on the afternoon of Sunday, August 30th.]
