about

This release is an exploration of corrupting sound presets on a Nord Lead. Installing a new battery in the memory card results in random data being interpreted as presets. The aim of this project is to create an audio work that catalogues these sounds.

Each preset plays the same MIDI sequence. This is not only to show how each preset reacts to the same notes, but also to allow for layering if desired. The sounds presented are unmodified, apart from occasional normalisation.

Keeping the sounds unmodified is an intentional aesthetic decision; as such, there are occasional harsh, high frequency tones that may cause damage when played at high volumes. This release is intended primarily as an installation, rather than a traditional album.

The cover artwork, and individual track artwork, was generated using selected bytes from the sysex data for each patch.

Also included with this release is a full sysex dump from the memory card, compatible with the Nord Lead/Rack 1. Please note that the TXT file included must be renamed to ZIP in order to open; this is due to Bandcamp's upload restrictions.

This release is presented under CC-BY license; please feel free to sample, remix, or otherwise use these sounds in your own work, but please include acknowledgement of the source (with a link to this album page).
