Blackdeath Brutality
Published on May 3, 2013 ISOTROPOSPHERE·117 videos
"Blackdeath plague synth / microsampler getting brutal processing a talk radio program being broadcast via shortwave radio and fed into the unit.
Korg ER-1 mkII electribe providing backing beat, no additional effects added.
The Blackdeath (created by Martin House in the UK) plague synth is one mean little machine, this is the Wormcode edition (#1 of 20) and here are some observational notes from my brief tenure with the beast so far.
The Blackdeath takes quite some time to harness and tame to find the sweet spots for what you want it to do. The unit can get crazy out of hand really fast and often it is quite difficult to get back to where you were if you have adjusted several of the pot shaft controls. Moves with the shafts (I would say knobs, but it does not have them) are very, very minute as you will see in the video, small moves make big changes. Very curious unit, often out of control and just spitting out harsh noise, I cannot decide if I love this thing or am getting frustrated with it. You decide if it is best for your tastes and needs. The Blackdeath has some delay added to it at the mixer but other than that this is just two units getting down and brutal together un-effected and raw. Live recording as it happened, would never be able to re-create this jam again.
Enjoy!!!"
