Hi. This blog is about me, Jeff Cloke, and my music persona Reson8.

Jeff Cloke has been involved with experimental music since the 1960s, and since 2002 has been fascinated by the sound of the space itself, as well as the sounds made in the space; an activity inspired by the composer Alvin Lucier.

His first Resonation projects involved a microphone and delays, allowing sounds to be replayed into the space repeatedly so that they gradually reinforce themselves, creating an harmonic interaction with the space. Projects have been both solo and making work with other artists; using filters and effects pedals, sounds are combined dynamically within the context of constantly evolving harmonies and rhythms, creating a unique, shifting soundscape derived from both the instruments and the space.

Some solo examples may be found on the SONUS website (http://sonus.ca) and
http://www.myspace.com/jeffcloke for old stuff, http://www.myspace.com/jeffclokemusic for new stuff and http://www.youtube.com/jefferycloke for videos.

For the past 2 years Jeff has been working to develop a laptop setup using the same Resonation principles, but allowing faster responses and the ability to perform live sampling and processing of other musicians and the sounds in the room. The new laptop process, Reson8, is also able to utilise multiple speaker setups in order to produce surround sound with moving sound objects. A number of performances are planned for 2008 working with a variety of other artists in different performance spaces.

I am primarily a live, improvising performer using live-sampling and surround sound. The example (stereo) MP3s on this blog are just examples of my sounds, they are not meant to be professional CD tracks.
