Buchla Modular Sounds 18 - Buchla Phases

Published on Nov 28, 2013 pjoris2·110 videos

"Another loose version of Piano Phases of Steve Reich. It is really surprising how hard it is to replicate this piece accurately using sequencers. In the end I gave up - these are just two sequencers running at slightly different tempo's.

In the real piece the two players should lock every time for approx 12 bars in the same tempo every time they have shifted a note. After which one of the two playes swicthes again to the slight slower tempo."

All Connected 2nd Event to Feature Kassel Jaeger and the Coupigny Modular

via Ancienne Belgique where you'll find full details.

"Kassel Jaeger is a Swiss-French composer about whom very little is known. He is a member of the Groupes de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in Paris and has already released albums on Editions Mego, Senufo Editions and Unfathomless.

In Huis 23, Kassel Jaeger will present an evening dedicated to INA-GRM, with particular attention for the Coupigny modular synth. This unique, legendary synthesizer, there is only one in existence, was built in 1966 by Francis Coupigny. It was originally a prototype of the synth that was integrated into the GRM Studio in the late sixties. Almost every composer of any significance in musique concrète or electro-acoustic music has used the instrument in their compositions, Parmegiani, Bayle, Berio, Schaeffer,…

The synth itself can unfortunately no longer leave the GRM studios - as it is too unique, too fragile and too valuable - but Kassel Jaeger has found a solution.

The first part consists of a composition built up out of Coupigny synth sounds that will be presented in quadrophny. Then there will be a piece whereby a diffusion is screened upon a projection of the front panel of the synth.

Afterwards there will be an informal chat and Q&A with Kassel Jaeger about the famous synth, the GRM, his work,…

Shelf Inside a Micromoog

This one in via Mike Metz of Thesis Audio: "We were recently restoring a vintage Micromoog at Thesis Audio Service for a customer and found something interesting. The bottom wooden panel of the Moog was made from a piece of 'shelf board' that you can find at any home improvement store. It had been painted flat black on the outside and cut to form the Micromoog bottom panel, and yes, it is the original piece. Just an interesting inside look at a piece of synthesizer history."

the omnichord by folktek accompanying some song

Published on Nov 28, 2013 pianoloft·236 videos

"in the 80th suzuki built an instrument, which should work a little bit like a simplified guitar. the idea was just to press a chord button and strum away. the great american magicians of folktek (http://folktek.com/) modified that strange instrument, adding a lot of body contacts to influence the sound and the tones in different ways. that video demonstrates the modified version in context with singer lilian fritz. we are improvising "songs on the fly", just inventing the music at the moment. later on a piano is added, a sound from roland gaia synth and some modifications of the pianosound, useing the korg kaos pad 2."

Klangheim Project Computermusic made with Waldorf Pulse 2 and Arturia SparkLE

Published on Nov 28, 2013

"This is my new song 'Computermusik'. The most parts are made with the Waldorf Pulse 2 Synthesizer and for the drums I used Arturia SparkLE.
It´s a multitrack recording with Steinberg Cubase 7.
A few weeks ago, after listening the first time to the new Waldorf Pulse 2, I found some presets which reminds me the first time dancing in a disco with 15 years. Do you remember Human League, Depeche Mode and Ultravox? This was all happening in the early eighties. I love that sound, which represents an era where many musicians made music with synthesizers and computers the first time.
This song is based on this decade. I hope you like it."

I added a video of The Tuesday Night Machines' setup walkthrough to this post. It's worth a look for those interested in how others set up their studio environments. I opted to add it to that post so you can see a composition created with the gear as well.
