Atomic Shadow & Hollow Sun Featured on Sonic Talk


As most of you who visit the site know, Atomic Shadow has become known as an experimenter of the more esoteric synthetic noisemakers including vintage oscillators, tape machines and more. He recently came in second place for the Oramix Oramics contest judged by Brian Eno, DJ Spooky, and The Wire. The official post is now up on The Science Museum blog here. His instruments have been featured in Hollow Sun's catalog of experimental instruments and he is one of the first artists to be featured in the new Hollow Sun Records (announced here on MATRIXSYNTH).

Sonic State recently featured Atomic Shadow on their March 8 podcast Sonic Talk. The full podcast is 53 minutes and can be found here. For those tight on time, you can find the portion featuring Atomic Shadow and Hollow Sun here. It's a good listen, so do check it out. The following is the recording referenced followed by a link to the video.

"Cortez "MINI-SYNTH"DISCO's 'SignatureSound' Stupid RARE Mint W Box Instruc WOW""

via this auction

These actually come up fairly often under various brand names including the Coron DS8, Asama Drum Sync, Storm Drum Sync, Grant PS-7 Percussion Synth, KMD Drum Exciter, and possibly more. What's really odd is there appears to be a Cortez D-3 with the same controls. See the labels below for other branding.

"Made in "JAPAN" The 'Cortez D-2 "MINI-SYNTH"'1976-7' Was Born The "Puuuu, Puuuuuu" "Sound" that became the signature sound of 1970s 'DISCO' with notable 'Music artists' such as with "Donna Summers" "Last Dance", The Gap Band's 'You Dropped a Bomb On Me', And just about everyone used this "Cortez 'Mini-Synth' What a cool little synth it really is ! ! !

The 'Cortez-"MINI SYNTH" clamps on to your 'Tom Drum or a Cymbal stand/ Snare stand or any stand will doooo You just "HIT THE Surrounding area of the mounted "Cortez" and it triggers the 'Synth' ...''that's how it works'''...! I have used this synth and found it does "Way-More" than Just manually selected "Puuuuu, Puuuu's ...The synth will allow you to 'Create many "Way-Cool" Perc, and Low Frq 'PHAT" Moog-Like "Boom Tricks, and Very 'Metallic resonator sound Frequencies ...An Excessively & Musically-''cool-and-unique'' sounds and EFFECTS" Left only to the imagination ! You can spend hours messing with this Synth...A true Piece Of the "70's" "Thing" 'If ever you could find'.!...As a collectors, or a serious Recording Project to add a "Totally unique effect or 'Dub/Groove' "thing" this is the "MAN" !!!"

Erthenvar Patch Chord as fake arpeggiator


YouTube Uploaded by siebenjager on Mar 9, 2012

"Terrible audio/video quality, just got a Patch Chord and wanted to show proof of concept on how it could be used as a fake arpeggiator.
PATCH:
4 outputs (+7, +12, -12, -5) going into VCA Matrix and being scanned through by quardrature outputs of Dr Octature. Signal is being run through Doepfer Wasp filter.
Pressure Points gate output is being used to "freeze" Dr Octature via an inverted envelope to 1V/oct in. PP pressure output is slewed then used to open filter.
Also, one of the unused outputs of Dr Oct is going through a comparator then used to step PP when not being played."

The Harvestman Hertz Donut + TipTop Audio BD808 & SD808 (Hard Techno Demo)



"Pour fêter l'arrivée des modules The Harvestman et TipTop Audio, petite démo rapide et virile avec un Hertz Donut (toute la partie "mélodique", notez les guillemets, et les modules BD808 et SD808 pour la boite à rythme).
Ceci est bien entendu une démonstration, et n'a aucun but musical particulier si ce n'est faire enrager vos voisins et vos conjoints (rayez la mention inutile).
La séquence est pilotée par deux Pressure Points de Make Noise, quantisée par un A-156 de Doepfer, et le tout est mixé dans un QMMG de Make Noise avant d'aller dans un Z5000 de TipTop Audio.

http://www.modularsquare.com - twitter.com/Modularsquare et Facebook"

Googlish:
""To celebrate the arrival of The Harvestman modules and TipTop Audio, small quick demo and manly with a Hertz Donut (all the" melodic ", note the quotes, and modules for the SD808 and BD808 drum machine).
This is of course a demonstration, and has no particular musical purpose except to annoy your neighbors and spouses (delete as appropriate).
The sequence is controlled by two Pressure Points Make Noise, quantized by a Doepfer A-156, and the whole is mixed in a QMMG to Make Noise before going in to TipTop Audio Z5000."
