The Sounds of Tomorrow: China's Electronic Instrument Renaissance | Yukes 玉刻 | TEDxZizhu Park
video upload by TEDx Talks
Modular Commune gets a shout out at the end. You can find a playlist of Modular Commune performances here.
"Yukes 玉刻 uses an electronic organ to play 'the sound of the future.' He расскаnts how synthesizers have found new life within Chinese culture—moving from imitating the sounds of traditional instruments to creating entirely new auditory languages.
As he puts it: 'Technology shouldn’t replace tradition; it should become an extension of it.' In his eyes, every synthesized waveform is a rebirth of culture.
Today, Chinese musicians are using technology to reshape a 'sonic ethnography,' allowing tradition and the future to move forward side by side through electronic resonance. Yukes is a commercial video producer, multi-instrumentalist, and expert in electronic music equipment. Active at the intersection of traditional Chinese instruments and contemporary electronic music equipment, they have been instrumental in the development of 'Chinawave' and the growth of the electronic music production equipment industry in mainland China. With a background in commercial documentary video production, Yukes has expanded their practice into the exploration of audiovisual ethnomusicology. They regularly perform across China and are currently pursuing a master's degree in Market and Retail Science at NYU Shanghai. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx"

Not sponsored.
Recorded dawless on a Tascam Model 12. No extra FX. No edits."
2/12/26 (power test) Metasonix TM-3 & TM-6 + Ace Tone FR-1 + Alesis MIDIVERB II (65)
video upload by Cfpp0
"2/12/26 (power test) Metasonix TM-3 & TM-6 + Ace Tone FR-1 + Alesis MIDIVERB II (65)
Fox trot, tango, mambo. We are 6/8ths of the way towards our goal of creating a modular octagon. And the main corner is coming together pretty strongly now, with the EML 400 over the TR-909, the RE-201 over the EML 400, the DC-30 over the RE-201, the Metasonix TM-3 & TM-6 over the DC-30, and the Ace Tone FR-1 Rhythm Ace over all of that. This was a quick test of some new power conditioners and placements. The FR-1 audio is multiplied and sent to the TM-3 and TM-6 CV inputs. The TM-3 audio output runs through the TM-6. The stereo chorus is from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."
