Big City Music Welcomes Welcomes HamHeart Synthesizers

via the Big City Music blog

"We're super excited to announce that we will now be offering HamHeart synths. These little beauties should be available late next week! Woohoo."

http://bigcitymusic.com/

Note: this is the first post on HamHeart Synthesizers.

Another symphonic theme

YouTube via attorks.

"This theme is somewhat like the symphonic theme I uploaded in February of this year, yet it is also quite different ;-)

The 3 rows of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer drive 4 voices. The first voice you hear is one Q106 VCO through the CGS Steiner Synthacon VCF and the Oakley Equinoxe phaser. The second voice one Q106 VCO through the Q150 transistor ladder filter. These first 2 voices have the same 4 step sequence running on row 3. Then you hear the self build Modular running on row 2 and after that the Creamware Minimax ASB running on row 1. These 2 voices start each with a 4 step sequence which after a while is varied between 5 and 8 steps manually. Then the bass and the theme are played on the Waldorf Q keyboard with a PPG-like sound. The Mellotron-like strings are played on the Roland XP-80. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

I noticed the video is gradually getting out of sync with the sound; I don't know what caused that and I also didn't know how to fix that when editing the clip. So, sorry for that."

Pre-order list for Frac Sound of Shadows delay module

via timm AKA Mood Organ on the AH list:

"Fellow Frackers:

Shawn Cleary at Analog Haven has graciously offered to start a pre-order list for Flight of Harmony's Sound of Shadows delay module. Flight says that if we can amass 30 pre-orders, he will do a run of them in Frac format. Flight's estimated price is VERY reasonable but I'll not include it here until I know he's OK with that.

I need not remind you that the Time Machine and Bugbrand delay are the only Frac delay modules and both are difficult to obtain. I haven't had the chance to play with the Bugbrand, but judging from demos the SoS is quite different from the Time Machine.

You can hear some demos here:

Email Shawn and let him know... and remember: why buy 1, when you can buy 2 for twice the price?"

V/A "Serge Modular Users 2009"

"Nothing rattles windows or sinks stomachs like analogue synth. Here, fourteen fanatics of the Serge Modular system contribute their best tracks: Benge joyrides in a 1972 Serge, Hans Grusel "quarantines" time in his labyrinth of Serge circuits, Carlos Giffoni paints a diorama of one unfortunate Winter in the Caribbean, Jan-Hinnerk Helm perfects eight seconds of human voice, and John DuVal (his "Fist of God" Serge among the largest ever built) sounds a plangent "distress call" from 40's sci-fi hell, plus nine more artists pitching volt heat!"

George Duke and Quartet To Perform Benefit Concert

"Jazz, Funk and R&B Legend George Duke and Quartet To Perform Benefit Concert for the Bob Moog Foundation and the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA

CARSLBAD, CA/ASHEVILLE, NC

On Friday, November 6, 2009 at 7 PM, George Duke—whose very name is synonymous with funk, R&B, pop, soul and jazz and who is heralded as a world class keyboardist, synthesizer pioneer, composer and Grammy award winning producer—will perform an intimate concert with his quartet at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California.

Proceeds from the concert directly benefit The Bob Moog Foundation and the Museum of Making Music, two organizations whose sympathetic missions and
like‐mindedness have kindled the exhibition, Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of
Moog, a first‐ever look at the life and work of synthesizer innovator, Dr. Robert Moog.

In addition to the proceeds from the concert, several items will be auctioned off during the evening of the concert to raise additional funds for the two organizations.

Tickets to the concert are $75 for the general public and $65 for museum
members. Optionally, for $100 guests can enjoy both the concert event AND a
special VIP after‐party reception with George Duke that will take place following
his performance. Attendance is limited.

For tickets and information, please contact the Museum at 760‐438‐5996 or visit
www.museumofmakingmusic.org The Museum is located at 5790 Armada Drive
in Carlsbad, California, just north of San Deigo.

George Duke has also worked as musical director at numerous large-scale musical events, including the Nelson Mandela tribute concert at Wembley Stadium in London in 1988. In 1989, he was the interim musical director of NBC's late-night music performance program Sunday Night.

THE EXHIBIT
Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Moog focuses on Bob's Moog's work and the impact that he had on the world of music. It features rare vintage synthesizers and other related Moog instruments and memorabilia from the Bob Moog Foundation Archives and from various private collections. The exhibit explores the numerous musicians, engineers and colleagues who played a vital role in the evolution of the Moog sound and the relationship between and the inventor/toolmaker and the musician, as well as the genesis of a variety of musical interfaces.

Bob Moog (1934-2005) was a pioneer in the field of electronic music, inventing the Moog synthesizer in 1964. His invention made synthesis accessible to musicians for the first time and in doing so provided them with new realms of sonic expression. The instrument revolutionized the face of music and was used by such early synthesists as Wendy Carlos, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jan Hammer, and more.

“The Moog synthesizer defined the sounds of progressive rock and was regarded as the best sound in synthesizers. ” – Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

The Moog synthesizer is widely used today in almost every genre of music and continues to be coveted for its rich, warm analog sound and high level of expressiveness.

“Bob Moog was one of the great visionaries of our time. His ideas far transcend just music, and to this day continue to have impact on everything from rock to rap to quantum physics” – Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins)

Moog's career spanned over 50 years and his work left an indelible impact on music, musicians and music-lovers alike. Bob Moog's unique legacy is one of expanding musical expression through innovation and inspiring musicians to explore the boundaries of sonic reality. Tens of thousands of musicians worldwide were, and continue to be, inspired by Moog's work, and the sonic palette it provides.

Bob Moog was awarded two GRAMMYs for his work: the NARAS Trustee's Award in 1970 and Award for Technical Achievement in 2002. He also won the Polar Music prize in 2001 from the King of Sweden and numerous other prizes that recognized his contributions.

THE MUSEUM OF MAKING MUSIC
The Museum of Making Music, a division of the NAMM Foundation, explores the multifaceted history of the American music products industry from its beginnings in the 1890s to today. Located in Carlsbad, California (north San Diego county), the Museum tells stories of hard work, challenge, inspiration and pioneering innovation, and reveals the profound relationship between the industry, popular music, and global culture. For information, please visit www.museumofmakingmusic.org.

THE BOB MOOG FOUNDATION
The Bob Moog Foundation is a non-profit organization founded upon Moog's passing in August 2005. The mission of the foundation is to educate and inspire children and adults through the power and possibilities of electronic music and through the intersection of science, music and innovation. The foundation has three main projects: preserving and protecting Bob Moog's archives, creating a Student Outreach Program that brings electronic music into the schools, and its hallmark project, the creation of a Moogseum in Asheville, NC, for which it was recently awarded a $600,000 lead grant by the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority. The Moogseum is planned to open late 2012.

"... more like Musanim. This began as a demonstration of an FM piano synth I wrote but it became equally about the visuals as I tried my hand at procedurally generating a 3D representation of the music in Blender by leveraging its Python API. I'm new to Blender (and 3D modelling in general) so forgive the lack of adornment. The music is a MIDI file I recorded a few years ago."

But don't worry: When this series of six videos are posted I will be back on my usual track :-)

In 1995 I made my first working synthesizer module. Over the next ten years I build a lot of other stuff that could make notes or noises and in 2005 I decided it was time to record something with it.
I have been telling a lot of people about my homemade instrument for some years now. But I thought it was about time to actually show the things I have done - put the videos were my mouth is so to speak..."

Homemade synthesizers 2


"The second video in my series of homemade synth show-offs. This time the main attraction is the analog sequencer that controls a voltage controlled synthesizer. And yes, the little 1½ octave keyboard is inspired by PAIA's Oz - but the internal design is completely different." [some Kraftwerk Autobahn sounds for you]
