The Passenger with MATRIXSYNTH T

via exclaim.ca

"Run by CiTR host Gareth Moses, More Than Human is one of Vancouver's most interesting labels. The fledgling outfit already boasts diverse experimental EPs from the likes of German electronic music legend Dieter Moebius, Planet Mu associate Ekoplekz, and London A/V artist Time Attendant. This pagan inspired 'Winter Ritual' gave fans a glimpse at its past, present and future.

Kicking off the evening was frequent Longwalkshortdock and cEvin Key collaborator Phil Western. Sitting in the back corner of the stage, partially obscured by several folding tables covered in electronic paraphernalia, he started with an ambient soundscape that recalled Boards of Canada, building to deeper droning IDM by the end. It had a vibrant metropolitan kosmische sound, with his pulsing bass guitar swimming amidst the layers.

From there, Western assumed the role of sound guy to mix Sinoia Caves and the Passenger. Jesse Creed (aka the Passenger) is a longtime member of the MTH family, having been the name on their very first release, (Negative Object, from 2013, but both Creed and Jeremy Schmidt (aka Sinoia Caves) should be a big part of its future, with the artists slated to release the first two full-lengths on the label in the next year or so..."

Lyrics:
Black madness forms the clones
Preserve the beast with robot drones
Transhuman desires will get us there
Filter the waste to breath the air
You can take what you want
So you take what you want
I don't know why you don't know this at all?
And you don't know why I don't want it at all

released September 4, 2016

Jesse Creed/The Passenger and the first and only MATRIXSYNTH trucker hat in existence. Jesse had been asking me to make one for some time now, so I did, and it is now his.

He's been known to sport MATRIXSYNTH gear in the past.

MATRIXSYNTH T Spotted in the Georgia Straight with The Passenger

Check out the article on the Georgia Straight here.

“The machines I choose kind of define what I’m going to make with them, almost,” says Creed, on the line from his CanMARC studio. They don’t really dictate where to go with the music, but they definitely encourage the kind of music I make—or colour it, anyway.”

"remixed with ableton and a tr808 through a delta labs acoustic computer"


via Lace Dj on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"By request here is the rare deltalab dl-2 from the Canmarc collection. Jesse & I use it all the time. It's a dual digital delay line that can function in serial or parallel mode. It's unique in many ways, the most obvious being in the name. It's one of the few digital devcie that uses delta modulation instead of pcm to sample audio and it's part of the reason it has a unique sound. You can sample the input, hold and randomise the delay, then add eq + reverb and modulate the result with an LFO on delay time and reverb pitch. You can change image and phase on the fly, and it has voltage control inputs on the back for the VCO. Around it are a couple other of our vinatge units, above is another rare Deltalab, The dl-5 Harmonicomputer voltage controlled pitch shifter and below it is the Intersound R100 spring reverb."

Synth Rorschach #21 - Mike & Rich - Mr. Frosty

Uploaded on Mar 2, 2009 DAVO1984FI·99 videos

This might be the first Synth Rorschach post that is actually meant to depict a synth. I see Buchla blue. 
via Jesse Creed on Facebook aka The Passenger, who posted it when asked what does he do with his eurorack system below. I thanked Jesse for tagging me on this one as we wouldn't have had this post otherwise. He replied "Synthendipity". I think he just coined it. See the Google search screenshot below. :)

YouTube video description: "Extract from the l.p. ' Expert Knob Twiddlers ' ( 1996 ) , performed by the combo Richard D. James and Micheal Paradinas: released by Rephlex Records.
The song is basically a stange and funny slow techno tune,with clear groovy taste filled all long the song,and some of the classic aphex' s ambient sounds. In the second part of the track the beats evolve into some kind of weird acid house."

tb 303 vs tt 303 canmarc audio comparison

"Here is a test recording of the TT 303 and the TB 303 playing the same line. This demo is of the filter cutoff. Resonance is at max. envelope mod is at 12 oclock, decay is at max, accent is at max."

via Lace Dj on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

One synth per left and right channel. "The filter is the only knob being changed and Jesse Creed kept both matched by eye. Everything else is set and left as is. There are subtle differences but they seem within the range of what various 303s would sound like side by side after a few years [Imho].

Keep in mind the comparison is slightly skewed due to the fact the 303 has 30 year old parts inside. Still, the cyclone has the overall same tone range and the same sweet spots so it does the right things at the right part of the knob turn. I think it's awesome so far. Well worth the price.

The sequencer is also pretty rad. It has neat little features like when you're in pitch mode, you can play with the transpose, accent and slide buttons while it's playing and it will mangle the playing sequence accordingly. That's a lot of fun for live noodling on a sequence."
