Yes, I did previously post this here. Why am I posting it again? Well, at the time I did post it I was asked to keep the source anonymous. I can know reveal who this is, but instead of doing so I thought I'd let people guess first. If you already know who this is please do not ruin it for others. Feel free to guess in the comments.

Ahh, this brings back such fond memories of banjos in the springtime.
ReplyDeleteLook how far we've come!
Pretty lights....BORING sound. WORK that thing properly.
ReplyDeleteI know! I know! But I'll shut up (for once).
ReplyDelete- P
rock n roll ? lol, i guess this proves rock is dead.
ReplyDeleteis it da easta bunnie?
ReplyDeleteWell, since there's not many people who can afford the glorious banjo plucker I'm going to guess that they're famous. Since the sound is totally different then every other Buchla demo (different doesn't equal cool) I'm going to guess NIN.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of people that buy a Dino Ferrari for the occasional 3 mile drive on a Sunday. They were made to me driven. The Buchla is a very expensive crappy sound effects generator for a hobbyist. Write some music will ya.
ReplyDeleteA banjo Tom Waits would be proud of. I'll reveal who it is some time tomorrow. Until then keep guessing. I'll drop a hint before I reveal who it is.
ReplyDeleteis it that Allesandro guy from NIN? SOunds like Ace Frehley saying RnR
ReplyDeletethey would have to be a fairly long time user as the bottom row is 2 259es and a 249e, both of which are not offically made anymore. nin's buchla is an 18 pannel unit, and the wood panneling is darker in color.
ReplyDeletei would say that this 200e belongs to one ezra buchla, since every module of that system is used in a similar setup by him, with a slightly different arrangment.
oh, and simply because the video/patch is named rock and roll. ezra loves to rock and roll.
ReplyDelete"The Buchla is a very expensive crappy sound effects generator for a hobbyist."
ReplyDeletei don't suppose the number of universities teaching with them or sound designers utilizing them in high level commercial projects would speak to the contrary.

ReplyDeletethe suspense is killing me!
ReplyDeletei heard NIN had to rent their 200e
ReplyDeleteHah! I almost forgot about this until I saw the "suspense is killing me" comment come in. Sorry. : ) Ok so here is or rather are the hints. If you listen to it you can distinctly hear the influence. What was interesting is when the video was first sent to me by the band member, it was obvious. You can hear it. It actually sounds like it can be on a track. Next, when you listen to it, imagine it in a song with everything else. Drums, guitar, etc. And think aggressive. A lot of times when you listen to a track of a mix in isolation it lacks the full picture of it's potential. Knowing who the band was when I heard this made a huge difference. Last clue. I listened to the bands latest album on my walk today and I noticed there was quite a bit of this sort of experimentation on it mixed in the tracks. Again, isolated it might sound limiting but in the track it sounds amazing. I think the person that composed this really understands that potential. BTW, the latest album by the band is awesome. I've seen them live a long time ago in a small club in LA as well as a major arena years later, and honestly I like their latest album the best. I think they've matured quite a bit since back then.
ReplyDeleteSo there you have it. Lots of clues. The biggest one is the link, they are in there.
Neil Diamond?
ReplyDeleteNiN
ReplyDeleteYep. Alessandro Cortini to be exact.
ReplyDeleteso do i win the Buchla for getting it right?
ReplyDeletethat was my frist inclination, but nin has another buchla that is larger. ezra has one that has the same module compliment. some puzzle solver i am.
ReplyDeleteholy crap matrix, that is awesome how you scanned in all of the tickets....
ReplyDeleteI am have been doing the same thing since middle school in the hopes to put them all in a huge frame and hang on the wall! Alas, alot of the shows that I go to don't even require a printed ticket and I lost track far back as to all the bands I've seen....it must be near 500 at this point though.
Just for reference though, I think it's funny that my first show was in like 95/96 and your was a decade before!
Also thought the funniest ticket was the Beck + Flaming Lips where you added FL to the ticket....that always cracks me up when they have two huge bands and they neglect to add one to the ticket stub....
Thanks. Yeah, definitely scan them before it's too late. I'd been meaning to for years and when I finally did, the ink on many was fading bad as you can see. One of them was completely gone. After I scanned them I put them in baseball card holders. It was pretty cheap to do. I've also been to a ton more shows that didn't have ticket stubs. I actually saw NIN at a small club in LA just before they got huge. It was for Pretty Hate Machine. Trent still had his dreads and they played in a cage. I remember thinking, shit these guys are going to be big. It was an amazing show. I'm pretty sure it was at Helter Skelter in 1990 which you can see on this list. Anyway, one thing I wish I did was keep a list of every show I went to and the date. Another place I used to see shows all the time was Magic Mountain in Valencia near LA. I saw Thomas Dolby, Modern English, Wall of Voodoo, Berlin, Thomson Twins, Oingo Boingo, Sparks, and a who bunch of others there. I wish I wrote those down.
ReplyDeleteBTW, check out Amateur Chemist. That's the way to archive concerts you've been to. It's an awesome site.
I said..."The Buchla is a very expensive crappy sound effects generator for a hobbyist."
ReplyDeleteChristian said "i don't suppose the number of universities teaching with them or sound designers utilizing them in high level commercial projects would speak to the contrary."
I may have been misunderstood. The Buchla is awesome and extremely powerful, but it's wasted on a hobbyist who only makes crappy sound effects and makes YouTube videos. As an educational tool in a university or as an instrument for a serious musician, well that's entirely different.
