Oral Histories - Warren Burt

video upload by Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS)

"Warren Burt arrived in Australia in 1975 and the landscape of Australian electronic and experimental music changed forever. An encyclopaedic repository of works and theories in the field - Warren has been educating and inspiring generations for half a century. His work spans almost all conceivable genres and modalities ranging from his Aardvarks series of pieces (that are also devised instruments) to works exploring incompetence as a paradigm and even compositions designed to propagate in gasses other than oxygen! Since his arrival he has been an almost constant agitator and organiser, creating new performance contexts and ways to educate people both within and outside of the institutions that have been lucky enough to have him on staff.

About Oral Histories:

Storytelling is an essential part of what it means to be human. When we share our stories we create space for real exchange and a deeper sense of empathy toward one another. At MESS we are conscious that so much of what has happened in Australian electronic music was never written down. Even when things are documented formally in books and journals - that very process can create an orthodox history which is inevitably incomplete and riddled with unconscious bias. So what we are doing is sitting down with the people who have made a lasting contribution to the form and asking them to tell us about their experiences in their own words.

The Oral Histories project was funded initially by a local histories grant from the Public Record Office of Victoria.

Is Behringer Responding to the FM-1 Revolution?

video upload by PhilipsKnobs

"behringer has put the KICK source code on github, and it got me wondering if the FM-1 has helped kick off something bigger in the synth world.

in this video, i take a look at what they've actually released and why i think it's interesting. is open-source software the future of music hardware, or am i reading too much into it?

obviously, we don't know if this has anything to do with the FM-1, but i'd love to hear what you think.

video upload by WMDevices

"A full walkthrough of all 9 effects on the WMD Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR). EQ and filters stay neutral the whole time, so you only hear the effects. Each one goes through breaks, synths, keys, bass, and vocal samples, and I cover what every knob and shift function does. At the end I show how to pick effects and presets by LED position instead of color, and how to save and load presets."

"A sinister improvisation on a Gilbert & Sullivan opera "The Sorcerer". The song is 'Sprites of Earth and Air' and is played heavily on the Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer (FVS) from 1976 with its incredible state-variable multi-mode filters, one of the first truly polyphonic synthesizers ever made. Also featured are three Moogs, a Third Wave, a D50 and a vocoder!" Polymoog in there as well.

See the Halloween label below for additional spooky posts.
