iPad with QuNexus and AudioBus Demo


iPad with QuNexus and AudioBus Demo from AudioCookbook.org on Vimeo.

"This track was performed and produced exclusively with the iPad, QuNexus and apps including AudioBus, Samplr, Sunrizer, and Propellerheads Figure (not shown in the video). The process started in Figure where I created a drum pattern, bass line, and synth melody. I then used Sonoma AudioCopy/Paste to get the parts into Samplr on separate tracks. Next I recorded an arpeggio from Sunrizer into Samplr that I used in two of the slots, but setup quite differently from each other. Finally I recorded a bit of vocal straight in via the internal mic to use as a effect. During the performance I used the touchscreen to manipulate the layers and adjust the processing in Samplr, then I used the QuNexus connected via the iPad Camera Kit to play a mono synth patch in Sunrizer.

MFB Tanzbär First Session by Jens Aderholz

"Erste Session mit dem Bären. :-) Viel Spass

Only the Tanzbär"

RIP Dick Raaymakers aka Kid Baltan

Update: new link and video below.

Gearjunkies wrote in to let us know Dick Raaymakers passed away this week on Wednesday Sept 4, 2013. He was a pioneer of electronic music,  primarily working with tape producing musique concrete.  Below is a video of one of his compositions with Tom Dissevelt posted here on MATRIXSYNTH back in 2009.  Be sure to see the Gearjunkies post as well for another video.

via Wikipedia: "From 1954 to 1960 he worked in the field of electro-acoustic research at Royal Philips Electronics Ltd. in Eindhoven. There, using the alias Kid Baltan, he and Tom Dissevelt, under the name Electrosoniks produced works of popular music by electronic means (which turned out to be the first attempts of their kind in the world).[1] From 1960 to 1962 he then worked at the University of Utrecht as a scientific staff member. From 1963 to 1966, together with Jan Boerman, he worked in his own studio for electronic music in the Hague. Then, from 1966 until his retirement in 1995, he worked as a teacher of Electronic and Contemporary Music at the Royal Conservatoire (The Hague) and since 1991 also as a teacher of Music Theatre at the Image and Sound Interfaculty, at the same conservatory..."

Dick Raaijmakers - Intona (Full Version) (1992)
Uploaded on Dec 23, 2010 V2unstable·275 videos

"More info: http://www.v2.nl/archive/works/intona

"Intona" is a music-theater piece conceived by Dick Raaymakers. It was performed amongst others on October 17, 1992 at V2_ in 's Hertogenbosch.

Intona is the counterpart of the work Three Ideophones. If in Three Ideophones the loudspeaker has the stage, in Intona, it is the microphone that is given a chance to express itself. In music, microphones are normally used for reproductive ends, i.e., to record music as faithfully as possible. But there is also an alternative use, a more subversive one, stemming from the 1960s, when musicians ripped the stable, fixed microphone from its stand and mobilized it. Pop musicians did this during concerts, but so did composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen, who made a number of microphones move like jet planes according to preset, plotted routes across the surface of a gigantic tom-tom. His intention was to create a new, "open" kind of music by submitting the movements of the microphones to compositional laws, thereby making them part of the whole compositional plan, not as a special effect but as musical instruments. The "microphonist" became an "instrumentalist." If there were a kind of Beaufort scale for measuring a microphone's degree of mobility and expressing it in values 1 to 10, 1 would stand for perfect immobility and stability, and 10 for extreme mobility or even total incorporeality. Numbers 1 and 2 on this scale would be reserved for recording the classical repertoire in all its splendor and glory. Above chamber music ensembles and symphony orchestras, the most sensitive microphones hang like so many motionless leaves on a tree. From this position, they can pick up the slightest sound made by an ensemble and save it for posterity. The mobility of these microphones should ideally tend towards zero. Modern composers like David Tudor, Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage would score a 5, 6 or 7. Pop musicians, with their mobile electric guitars and microphones, despite their roughness, stall at just 4. The challenge Intona takes up is to bring the remaining numbers 8, 9 and 10 into the picture. One must realize that at a mobility factor of 10, a microphone will dissolve entirely and disappear into the void. This occurs in Intona, not only as a result of brute implosive or explosive violence -- there's no art in that -- but in the intention of playing the microphone as expertly as possible."

Broken Delay - d0 CV Disturbances Patch


Broken Delay - d0 CV Disturbances Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Second patch using the karplus strong feedback setting with the Mungo d0 dual channel delay. This time taking both sine outputs and one from the final output from the MakeNoise DPO (only sound source). One sine was running into the d0 delay line A, and the other into B. The clocking source was the MakeNoise wogglebug, using clocked and gate bursts out to create random gestures and clusters. The wooglebug clock was then sent to a mult which was then clocked to the 4ms SCM input, shifted and rotated, to skew the timing even more for dotted tails and decays. Both sine outputs ran into the Optomix, strike input via the S5 output on the 4ms SCM. The changes in delay time A/B from the random stepped output from the wogglebug. This is the second experiment using the d0 as the main processing source, which can generate some very interesting broken glitchy iterations in the feedback path. The entire mix was ran into a Eventide space pedal for light reverb effect.

Next Generation Percussa AudioCubes Announced

via Percussa

"After spending a couple of years working on a wireless module, I'm very happy to announce the next generation AudioCubes.

You can now use 16 cubes wirelessly within a 30-50ft range without having to connect them with a cable regardless of how you use them (sensor, sender, receiver or topology). One cube acts as the wireless base station and stays connected with a cable.

The difference compared to the previous generation audiocubes is profound:
- Very high reliability and robustness of communication through custom designed and optimized wireless protocol
- Very fast boot up
- No loss in sensor resolution and great LED RGB data rate and response
- Freedom to move around with your cubes
- More cube interaction
- More potential use cases
- Easier to set up and less to remember

As from now, we'll only release new software applications for the wireless cubes, and we'll stop supporting software applications for the previous generation audiocubes."

Too Heavy for Breakfast

Published on Sep 6, 2013 Wein Glas·24 videos

"Time for some Industrial Noise, but caution: 'Too heavy for Breakfast' is not only the title of the song!

Instruments used were a Buchla 200e with Zerosum Inertia Tube Modulemodules. The sound of this modular synthesizer was mangled by a Ciat Lonbarde Cocoquantus, and a Ciat Lonbarde Sidrassi delivers some soothing sounds on top of all the heavy noises.

Enjoy the Noise!"

SPARK LE Drum Machine - Review A - Intro to Hardware and Software


Published on Sep 6, 2013 VJ FRANZ K·616 videos

"New From ARTURIA - the Drum Machine that exists in Hardware and Software worlds simultaneously is now available in the more compact LE size. This is my first look at the Spark LE, and I'll show you it's basic features. ( See my earlier reviews of the original Spark for more information, and later videos with Spark LE for more demonstrations of how it can be used. ) The Spark series is one of my favorite recent products as a "Drum Machinist" and the new LE does not disappoint. ( Also see my review of Arturia's excellent "MiniBrute" analog synthesizer, and future jams where I use both of them together. )

This is my review of the Spark LE Creative Drum Machine controller / software.
The music is my original composition using the instrument demonstrated."

IDM Creation - SPARK LE Pt. D + MINIBRUTE "Ordinator Calibration"

"Steps of Creation for an IDM Track, using the SPARK LE for beats, and the MINIBRUTE for synth notes. Both were intentionally set to create various "glitch" type sounds. All was recorded into Ableton Live 9, where the sounds were chopped up further.

'Ordinateur' is the French word for Computer.

This music is my original composition using these instruments, it's called "Ordinator Calibration", the faintly heard voice is my own, going through weird effects."
