Iron Ether

Arcing Prisms

DELAY

Description

Arcing Prisms combines a frequency shifter and a comb filter/delay line, locked together in a spiraling feedback loop of warped modulation. The frequency shifter is placed inside the feedback loop of a delay line, so that every time the sound is repeated, it gets shifted again. With subtle shift amounts and short delay times, this feedback accentuates the phaser-like filtering and cancellation of various frequencies, accessing an unexplored realm of sounds with elements of phasing, flanging, filtering, and vibrato all at the same time. With larger shift amounts and longer delay times, this feedback creates otherworldly gamelan-like arpeggios with timbres that shift with each repeat, or evolving synthetic textures.
