Wizard Tone Improvisation Series - Volume 5




On the series via Ed Zuccollo:

"I sat in the live room with my Minimoog, a lamp, two effects pedals (EHX Cathedral and Strymon BigSky), and no preconception of what was to come. Adam's voice came through the headphones: 'The ENIAC was the world's first mechanical computer. They're just starting it up for the first time and it begins spitting out numbers and doing calculations... Play that. We're rolling, start whenever you like.'

And so I sat there in silence, imagining this scene, imagining the sounds, then converting these sounds to settings on the Minimoog in my head - then I set up the Moog and began to play, and when I finished we were onto the next one, and the next one... a robotic futuristic bee colony, imagining my favourite mountain bike trail, and eventually reading the Moon Hymn poem and playing my reaction. No edits or layers, all first takes."

via BandCamp:

"... a mind bending creative journey fueled by an exploration of sound and music both beautiful and other-worldly. Zuccollo's deep knowledge of analogue synthesis, in particular the Minimoog, has produced one of the most brilliantly original and at times uncomfortable releases in the Wizard Tone Records catalogue to date. A good set of headphones and an open mind is essential to experiencing this release".
- Adam Page - Producer/curator

These recordings are all first take improvisations and in the order they were performed. Producer Adam Page curated the performances by offering Ed motivations and visualisations immediately prior to recording each track.

Monome Arc - Further Explorations (in three parts)


Published on Feb 11, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"Further explorations with the Monome Arc and Ansible module. Patch notes are as follows:

• Part One - Arc/Ansible is using the "Levels" app, with Arc's rings 1 and 2 in "Note" mode; sequencing Mutable Instruments Rings and Intellijel Plonk respectively, and Arc's rings 3 and 4 are modulating various parameters. Delay is from the Erica Synths Black Hole DSP, and Granularizing (not a real word) and Reverb from Mutable Instruments Clouds.

• Part Two - Arc/Ansible is using the "Cycles" app, with all 4 rings modulating the CV of all the modules.

• Part Three - Arc/Ansible is again using "Cycles" app, this time with the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium replacing the Rings and Plonk modules."

The Candlelight Vigil: A Synth Cover in Memory of Jóhann Jóhannsson (From Prisoners)


Published on Feb 11, 2018 Ace Waters

"Jóhann Jóhannsson was one of the first artists that I found when getting deep into the world of ambient music. In college, I listened to his 'IBM 1401 a User's Manual' on repeat. His album Orphee was the album the got me through editing my 'Favorite Things of 2017' video. His soundtracks are all profoundly moving and inspiring. I was devastated when I found out he died. This is in his memory. Thank you Jóhann, for showing me how one can do so much with so little. For teaching me how much emotion can be held in a single note. Thank you for inspiring me. Your work had a profound impact on my life, my music, and my career and your absence is devastating. Rest in peace."

Rev2 All preset sequences (splits and layers) Part 1 - Dave Smith Instruments


Published on Feb 11, 2018 synth-love

"Every Rev2 program contains both an A and a B layer. Each layer contains a sequence. In the video I scroll through the presets.

I am not playing keys on the keyboard. What you hear are the sequences playing. When you change programs, the sequence changes too and continues to play.

Progams can be single layer, split layer or dual layer (stack). Check the Stack and Split lights to determine which type the current preset is. The stack and split modes use double the polyphony. If neither light is lit, it is a single program and you have full polyphony.

The screen also displays the effect in use by layer A. Keep in mind the layer may not actually use the effect - the effect amount is on a different screen."

Critter & Guitari Organelle on Cassette Tape (Ep.01)


Published on Feb 11, 2018 Delta Aquari

"Today is the second day with my Organelle and I am still in love with it, one can truly tell that this is not just a synthesizer, it's an instrument. I was playing the guitar for more than 12 years until I switched to modular synths two years ago, the Organelle gave something back to me that I was really missing on my modular system, something that I only had when playing the guitar. I recorded six patches on cassette tape while jaming along, you can expect more videos like this, soon.

Patches used in this video:
1. MuChord
2. Zone
3. Juno 104
4. Glass FM
5. Waterfall Down

"This is an original Jen P-700 Pedal Bass self generating synthesizer from around the early 1970’s

There are other versions that are the same called SLM P700 and Matrix.

This is an awesome pedal that gives a classic big bass monophonic analogue synthesizer sound.

Serge Modular Synthesizer Lullaby #TTNM


Published on Feb 11, 2018 The Tuesday Night Machines

"Fall asleep to a mostly self-playing lullaby powered by the "Best of CGS" panels ... and wake up again.

Audio gear used:
Best of CGS Serge BOG, MARSH & SWAMP 4U Banana Modular Synthesizer
... some Zoom R16 reverb.

Patch Notes:
It's a very simple patch. Two NCOs plus a DUSG (with additional frequency division) act as sound sources, which are being sequenced by four steps of the Sequencer Programmer. To make this melody a little more complex, there is modulated waveshaping, using the Triple Waveshaper and Gated Comparator CV and there is additional pitch modulation from square waves into the NCOs' and DUSG's FM inputs (making the notes jump between two pitches regularly, plus being fed by the Sequencer Programmer into the 1V/Oct inputs). At the end everything runs through the VCF with slow LFO modulation and a little bit of NCO FM."

"Early 80s UK electro instrument MPC "the Kit" drum synth with Kick, Snare, Hi Tom, Lo Tom, Cymbal, Open and Closed Hats, and includes 'The Clap' clap module. Besides the panel mounted pads, there's a port on the back that connects to a cable snake with 1/4" inputs for drum triggers/gates. These drums actually sound fantastic, very reminiscent of 808 bass, snare, hats, and toms... All around pretty interesting analog percussion device in a compact package that can run on batteries."

ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS TELEMARK MULTIMODE FILTER EURORACK SYNTH

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Pure analogue circuitry

Telemark filter

4 filter types

Low, High, Band, Notch

Resonance (Q) boost feature

Slim design

Spun metal knob caps

The Telemark multimode filter module is based on the filter of the legendary Telemark semi-modular synthesizer.

It’s routes lie in the original 1970s Oberheim SEM, though it has developed a character of its own.

The filter is a 12db/Octave multimode type. Multimode means there are more than one type of filter output.

There are in fact four: low pass, band pass, high pass and notch filter.

Additionally, notch filter can be varied for an even wider range of sounds.

Use of Gain and Q allow for even wider possibilities.

No special knowledge is required to use this filter. Just plug your audio in the left, and your audio out on the right.

Optionally (and recommended!) patch a control voltage in to give the sound movement."
