Richard Devine wrote in to let us know his new EP Shared System Series MNR001 on Make Noise Records was officially released today. It is the first EP composed on the Make Noise "Shared System" Eurorack modular pictured below. Additional releases featuring the system will be coming from Alessandro Cortini, Robert A. A. Lowe, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Surachai.
Some info via Richard:
"I am happy to announced my new EP on MakeNoise is officially released today, 'Creature I & II –7' Clear Vinyl, Limited to 500, Letterpress Cover. Includes downloads to alternate takes & stickers."
And via TRASH_AUDIO on the concept of the Shared System releases: "The Shared System Series compiles the separate recordings of several artists utilizing the same electronic musical instrument, the Shared System. At times it feels as though electronic music has become an overly automated form driven by simplified genre specific apps and software. What happens when the signal path is not pre-defined or optimized for a popular result? The Shared System is a modular synthesizer developed by Make Noise. It has no pre-determined signal path, and is not designed for any particular musical destination. In limiting the artists to this one instrument, we hope the Shared System Series of records will purely illustrate the intentions of the artists.
Mastered for vinyl by Audible Oddities, etched into high quality master lacquers made by SAE Mastering, and shipped to URP for pressing. The result is a high fidelity 7″ record. Like the Shared System instrument, the sleeves for these records are a combination of digital and analog technology. They are designed using computer software and printed using a hand-cranked letterpress called the Vandercook 4."
