Bach: Goldberg Variations - Variation 18. Canone alla Sesta (synthesized)

YouTube Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Feb 9, 2012

Update: Re-Uploaded by ScrollingMusic on Feb 10, 2012
[reuploaded with better balance]

"Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 - Variation 18. Canone alla Sexta. a 1 Clav.

this 3-voice variation is a canon at the sixth. The canon is markedly visible in the red and green voices, as the red imitates the green, delayed by a half note.

About the 18th variation:
This is a canon at the sixth in 2/2 time. The canonic interplay in the upper voices features many suspensions. Commenting on the structure of the canons of the Goldberg Variations, Glenn Gould cited this variation as the extreme example of "deliberate duality of motivic emphasis [...] the canonic voices are called upon to sustain the passacaille role which is capriciously abandoned by the bass." Gould spoke very fondly of this canon in a radio conversation with Tim Page: "The canon at the sixth -- I adore it, it's a gem. Well, I adore all the canons, really, but it's one of my favorite variations, certainly." (from Wikipedia: Goldberg Variations)

The sound featured in this video is a slightly modified version of one of our earliest MATLAB synthesizer sounds. We used our 'guitar' voice, but added slightly more harmonic content to the attack. For this video, we chose to work with a single instrument and a simple timbre to avoid an overly thick texture. While in a sense, this video is a sort of returning to our roots, it is also our first video to be rendered in 1080p :)"

Lixiviation - New Suzanne Ciani Compilation

via boomkat, where you can order the release in the UK. It is also available on Amazon here.

"After completing an MA in music composition, Ciani was introduced to synth designer Don Buchla, whose Buchla 200 synthesizer would come to define much of her work for the next two decades. She counted the likes of synth maverick Vangelis and electronic music pioneer Harold Bode among her close friends and would set up Ciani Musica Inc. to publish her commercial endeavours for companies such as Coca Cola and Atari, while constantly working at the cutting edge of advances in electronic music and amassing an expansive vault of underexposed music which has remained untouched for over 30 years… until now..."

The release includes a booklet with intro by Andy Votel and track notes by Suzanne Ciani.

Jomox custom ROM demo

YouTube Uploaded by dwenius on Feb 9, 2012

"Here is a long, clumsy, comical, but functional demonstration of my custom Jomox Xbase09 drum machine, with an Airbase ROM chip and OS factory-installed by Jomox in Germany about a decade ago. The new ROM provides TR-909, TR-808, CR-78, and "Jomox" sample sets. The Xbase is restricted to one sample per step but samples can be pitched, reversed, and knob movements recorded in realtime (reverse and realtime record not demoed here), so the monophonic nature of the samples is less of a restriction than it might seem. This is just a run through the various sample sets, with some pitch and balance manipulation, over the same pattern, for 10 minutes."

Tempest and Voyager Acid jam (couldn't resist the hype)

Uploaded by RoonanTV on Feb 8, 2012

"After hearing all those nice attempts on the DSI forum I couldn't resist to have another go at creating 303 sounds. This is a live jam session with 3 acid parts on the Tempest and one on the Voyager. There is some EFX here and there, but no compression or mastering whatsoever. I recorded it as loud as possible and there might be some mild clipping, but you'll sure get the full dynamic :-)"
