Dasi's Healing Chime - Ambient Meditative Buchla, Vintage Moog Modular & EML

"There are some who believe that all objects and places have a spirit inside of them. The Japanese have old folk tales about discarded umbrellas becoming lonely ghosts that haunt their previous owners. Many native tribes have ascribed emotions to the rocks and trees they encountered every day. Dasi is a musical collective that believes in such things..."

via Dasi: "We've been working on this record for the past year. it's a mix of my little 200e system, a small Moog modular circa 1969, an old 69' Electrocomp 200 and a small Makenoise/DIY system. There is a smattering of Roland Vsynth and bit of Gnaural for binaural beats which were both fed to the modulars for processing.

The guitars are mostly my 1964 Fender Jaguar with a infinite sustain circuit installed and a 1970s Gibson Explorer, Rickenbacker 12, and custom electric sitar also making appearances. also tons of 68' Fender Bass VI on the low end

The environmental recordings were recorded in Tazmania, Japan, and Mexico. Some of the ocean wave recordings weren't 'epic' enough so there is a lot of 222e ring work pulling waves in and out. oh, and sorry about the sound of me smoking cigarettes in the rainforest...i tried to edit them out but couldn't cut them without upsetting the rhythm of the forest crickets!

i know it's not the most Buchlidian bleepy bloopy album out there but hopefully it will give the 'can a buchla do tonal music' guys something to chew on!"

You'll find the release here and Dasi's Facebook page here.  Note this post was originally going to go up on MATRIXYSNTH-C, however I opted for a post here for the great synth pics below. Note the Qbert arcade cabinet top above the Buchla 200e!
