Sonic experimentation on the "Ouijitar".

Story behind the song
This is one of many test sessions improvised/ composed while experimenting with design and performance techniques on the "Ouijitar" created by Antipriest. The Ouijitar has a bit of an uncontrolable feel when first approaching it. It took time to get a handle on performing with the unit and in some of the early tests it felt a bit like a Plasma Gun shooting heavy but ethereal spasms of plasma-like sound into every corner.
Ouijitar Plasmagun was one of the experimental research tracks created while exploring the creation of the Ouijitar. I then submitted that track and a few others for a modern recreation of a John Cage piece. More info below:
