After a period of relative turmoil and reconstruction, the Demons of Gyrophonia are currently putting together a collection of songs and improvisations for their Obligatory Eponymous Debut album. A few of the improvisations are available for listening now.
I love the internet. Sometimes I just wish I could tell it how I feel. Go listen to it now! It’s on The Floating Fish EP.
As part of his Symbiotic Media Program at Oklahoma, Jesse took what we learned at the Max/MSP/Jitter workshop in Cambridge to build “Growth” , an interactive multimedia installation controlled entirely by video game controllers.
In this video except, I perform a duet on the installation with Martin Gardner. For a full documentary on the project, along with other installations and projects, hit Mr. Harlin’s website.
Video after the jump. (more…)
Back in December, ‘06, I performed on the Tiny Noise exhibition at Upgrade International’s conference in Oklahoma City. You can check out the visual portion of our set right here at vybeauregard.net. Thanks to Jesse for providing the video!
One of these days, I’m gonna teach myself pd. I collected these patches from the STEIM pd Workshop that took place awhile back, mainly as an insurance policy if the site is ever removed. The internet has this nasty habit of having cool stuff removed when nobody’s looking.
Mainly for my own purposes, but if you’re also into pd, please enjoy.
We’re postponing our open mike performance at Galileo’s until next week. Please accept our sincerest apologies. We’ll see you out there next week (22 May), though.
The Demons of Gyrophonia will be playing Open Mike Night at Galileo’s next Thursday, 15 May 2008. We’ll probably be going on around 9:30-10:00, so drop by if you want to hear some live noise as rendered by three School of Music graduates. Map it after the jump. (more…)
If somebody told me last week that I had over 4½ hours of recorded music that I had either written or performed on and had stashed away somewhere, I probably would have looked at them funny and accused them of being off their meds. As it turns out, it’s fact. And it’s all here for you to listen to.
I’ll have more here soon as well, so keep a lookout.
In other news, I got my first comment spam over here today. Seems the bots are faster at seeking out new sites than the humans are.
I’ve set up the music blog over here at music.vybeauregard.net. It’s completely separate from the other one at www.vybeauregard.net; that way, only relevant music-related posts will appear here. If it’s big news pertaining to noise, it will probably end up getting posted both places. I will also be providing a feed combining all my posts for those who prefer not to clutter their feed readers with eleventy billion bookmarks for one person.
With all of that said, I’ve got most of the music branch of the site up and running. Poke around, have a listen, leave a comment and tell me what you think. Good/bad/ambivalent, I don’t mind. I just want to hear what you have to say!
Within these pages lies over 5½ hours of recorded music ranging from calm to frenzied, classical to jazz, serious to frivolous, pre-composed to improvised live. No matter your tastes, you will find something here you enjoy. So have a look around and savor the noise.
I have been writing music since 1997. As a college student, I studied music composition under Jon Haek, Dr. Christian Asplund and Dr. Brian Shepard and saxophone under Dr. Gail Hall. I earned my Bachelor degree in Music Composition in 2003. Since then, I have focused on blending electronic music with acoustic and electronic saxophone.

The Octopi were formed in 2001 as a student composer ensemble. At the core of their sound is Guitar, Bass and Saxophone, with a hearty mix of bone-shattering noise to keep things interesting. Each recording featured here were composed by Curtis McKinney, Chad McKinney, or Trey Beauregard.

Hot Soda Apparatus is an on-again/off-again collaboration between Trey Beauregard and Nick Barton. Originally conceived in the spring of 2000 as an avant-garde spoken word comedy act, it has grown into a multimedia project involving writing and performing music as well as sketch comedy.

The Demons of Gyrophonia began in 2008 with the unusual instrumentation of Flute, Baritone Saxophone and Organ. While we do play some pre-composed music, we spend a lot of our time exploring sonic textures in free improvisation. Our instrumentation has evolved to include non-standard instruments such as the Knifitar, Electronic Horn, and Recordaphone. Individually, the members are known as Tréteque, Pheatherwäit, and Timbill. We are Gyrophonia. Low, High Noise.
