The Rife Machine - Healing With Oscillators


This one in via jeswa.

via wikipedia:

"Rife said that he could find a Mortal Oscillatory Rate[17] (M.O.R.) for various pathogenic organisms, and directed his research accordingly, culturing and testing various pathogens with his Universal #3 microscope and his directed radio frequency energy 'beam ray' tube machine. Rife claimed to have documented the precise frequencies[18] which destroyed specific organisms, and claimed that many, if not all, contagious diseases could be cured using this radiation treatment, using frequencies that were typically in the 10 kHz-100 MHz range (HF to mid-VHF).[19] Rife claims that a clinic was set up by a Dr. Milbank Johnson M.D. which conducted tests using Rife's machine on the growth of typhoid in medium, which he claimed demonstrated no motility of typhoid rods which were exposed to Rife's machine.[20][21] There is no independent verification of any of these claims."

Not directly related, but there is mention of using sound for therapeutic purposes in this Hataken Interview - check it out when you have time - it's an interesting read.

Update via alfried in the comments: "Its good to see your post, thanks for the information. Rife generator is a machine that generates electromagnetic frequencies especially targeted to deactivate harmful toxins on the body."

"28 minutes of modular noises with a theremin overdub. All improvised and un-edited. The modules in use are two osc., two multiband filters, delay, env, lfo, vca from Analogue Systems. The theremin is an EtherwavePro."

Yamaha TQ5: Apparently, Bill Holland CAN Touch This


YouTube via gearwire. follow-up to this post.
"Now that Bill Holland has got you all MIDI connected and whatnot, it's time to bust out more of the Yamaha TQ5's capabilities. The TQ5 is basically the 1980s crammed into a stealth-looking box. Be sure to put on some neon pants and level your flattop before you watch this video about tone, LFO and envelope controls. See more on gearwire.com."

Roland TB-303

Interesting note about the AC Adaptor:
"Roland TB-303 Bassline (Serial 291700). This is the sound of Acid and Techno music. As can be evidenced in the photos, this particular TB-303 is in excellent condition and functions perfectly. All knobs functions are nice and tight and there is no signs of wear and tear on the unit. The battery compartment is extremely clean and the unit powers up fine with a AC Adaptor or with a set of Batteries. Perfect for making analogue music on the plane or the beach! The unit comes with an original AC Adaptor. For those of you who know, the ACA-120 is the longest manufactured Roland product, having been produced since the early 1980's!"

"I have been swapping CDs with Don Hassler. I send him improvisations on my Serge/ Eurorack modular and he has sent me his Buchla 200e improvisations....today i decided to play both recordings at the same time and this is what you will hear



it suffers from 128k mp3 but its fun if you like improv electronics as much as i do

Roland JX-8P + PG-800 Analog Synthesizer by RetroSound


YouTube via retrosound72

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

'the demo shows the real time possibilities of the Roland JX-8P with the optional programmer PG-800'

The programmer PG-800 makes the JX-8P to the perfect classic analog synthesizer!

'demo of various Oscillator, VCF and ADSR-envelope settings, X Modulation, Sync, Chorus and more'

'Roland JX-8P triggered by the MFB Step64 step sequencer and sync with the Roland TR-707 drum machine'

This video demo is not a musical statement, only demonstration of the sound possibilities of the instrument."

"me and my buddies moog"

Interview: Scott Jaeger aka The Harvestman by Bryan Erickson.

"Let me start by saying I love my polivoks filter and my malgorithm bit crusher. The Harvestman makes really unique analog and digital modules for the doepfer eurorack modular format. I could not live with out either of these, In fact when I was freaking out over the unstable tracking on my oscillators, I was going to sell my modular system, But I kept going, what would I do with out my custom faceplated Malgorithm and the brutal resonance of the Polivoks filter? Die I think. The Harvestman gave me the real reason to keep my modular, so I could make mean evil sounds, and skin peeling resonant acid sounds(Not to mention he is a totally cool guy to talk to, and yeah, I think he will get his guitar pedals out before Gun’s and Roses gets their new LP out). LOL. I really appreciate that Scott took the time to answer my silly questions."
