FORMATIONS by Christopher Ireland & John Benton


Formations from The Pool Collective on Vimeo.


The piece above features visuals by Christopher Ireland and audio by John Benton. In the video below John goes over the process of creating the score, including some synth spotting.

via The Pool Collective (Pool)

"Inspired by exploring minimal, contemporary gallery installations, I was curious to see how human shapes could permeate flat surfaces in the simplest ways possible. The resulting shapes created the emergence of something from nothing – a philosophical idea in science that fascinates me. Hence the title formation.

The work was created in response to The POOL COLLECTIVE group show called The Naked and the Nude. Piecing together the sequences of shapes then became a dual exercise in choreography and editing, drawing on my background as a Director and a trained classical dancer, and was done with close collaboration with John Benton who would interpret the vision and respond to it musically."

That said, this is a great send off. Thank you peff!

Chords and Melody With The WMD Arpitecht and Triad


Published on Jun 15, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this patch, we are using the Arpitecht and Triad as the main pitch controller for four different oscillators, (Make Noise DPO and Sputnik Dual Oscillator), with the main output of the Arpitecht controlling the bass voice, with the three outputs from Triad controlling the "chordal" content. The rhythms are being generated by a 4MS Rotating Clock Divider with random CV patched into the Rotate input, which are triggering four envelopes from the Sputnik Quad Function Generator. The modal content of each four oscillators can be easily adjusted by changing the Scale knob, and the Triad is being modulated to adjust the inversions of the triads. All oscillators are then mixed and panned in the Verbos Scan and Pan and sent through the Eos Reverb from Audio Damage, and finally mixed again in the WMD Performance Mixer.

Arpitecht, from WMD, is a voltage controlled arpeggio generator and quantizer. It is designed to help bring diatonic tuning in to the Eurorack realm, for aid in musical applications of modular synthesizers.

Melodies created by the Arpitecht can span 8 octaves and follow (or imply) chord changes. Acid basslines can be instantly performed. Even generative sequences can be produced with constant evolving patterns. With the companion module, Triad, it can also generate polyphonic chords.

"Guardians of Space and Time. An exploration of Alright Devices T-Wrex (Decimator & Bit Crusher) and Chronoblob (Digital Delay)

All hardware performance/improvisation recorded straight to 2-track.

https://soundcloud.com/lightbath/guar...

Brief patch notes:

Voices:

1. STO (x2) + Tides → Optomix (x2) → Belgrad → Chronoblob (delay filtered by Sisters). Played by René through Shifty, shaped by Just Friends, which is modulated by Flame C3. Belgrad shaped by Planar.
2. Rings → T-Wrex → DiOD → Clouds → Morphagene. Played by O_C Quantermain through Boss Bow Tie, parameters manually adjusted with Voltage Block.

ALM Pamela's New Workout is the master clock source. OTO BIM & BAM applied liberally to both voices via mixer sends."

"Quantum audio fluctuations are generated by the 0-Coast, in collaboration with the SQ-1. The modded Monotron sends voltage signals to the frequency modulation processor. For extra weirdness, the audio is finally run through the all-powerful Monotron Delay before the thoroughly altered signals are sent out to the air-wave generator."

New Analogue Solutions Hyde Modulating Filter Desktop Unit


Some pics via John Walker on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

You can see it at 7:25 in the Fusebox video here. It's part of a line-up of new "synth blocks". A mono synth with Curtis filters is in the works.

And some details via liquid sky berlin via Analogue Sulutions:

"Mr Hyde is the first in a new series of ‘synthBlocks’.

These are small table top effects processor, and later synthesisers and sequencers. Designed by renowned UK synth designers Analogue Solutions who have over 24 years in the industry. Mr Hyde is an analogue filter effects box use for subtle to extreme filtering and modulation effects.

SynthBlocks are used to process any sound that you feed into it from your DAW, Mixer or some musical instrument (with prior pre-amplification where necessary).

To give your plug-ins some real analogue hardware life. Mr Hyde has 1/4” input and output jacks on the rear, so it can be connector straight to a mixer or DAW audio interface without the need for adaptors. On the top panel are mini jack sockets to patch with a semi-modular synth, such as AS’s very own Fusebox, or to Eurorack and other modular systems.

Mr Hyde can change the sound in subtle ways, such as nice sweeping filtering, right up to mangled FM mayhem!

Designed, engineered, and hand built in England.

Further synthBlocks are already in development including
Dr. Strangelove, who will be with us soon!
Spec - Multimode 12db analogue filter, featuring Low pass, High pass, Band pass, and Notch filters. Resonance with Boost feature to make it self oscillator. LFO with Triangle and Square wave signals. Range switch, to bring the modulation speed into audio frequencies. 1/4” and mini jack sockets for audio / CV input and output. Small compact desktop site format. Will fit into your palm!

Of Course: Exceptional build quality - Analogue Solutions style!

Dub Delay with Erbe-Verb

"Because of its unusually extreme decoupling of PreDelay time from Room size and Decay time, the Erbe-Verb can be patched using feedback to make repeating echoes like a delay effect, but with unique flavor and modulation options."

Epic soundscaping with Spitfire's BT Phobos on the Seaboard

"Seaboard RISE and Seaboard Block are shaping up to be the perfect multidimensional controllers for Spitfire's BT Phobos. The synth’s rich textures can be bent, warped, and layered with the simplest movements. Check out Heen’s performance on two Seaboard Blocks."

And one from sonicstate. I'm guessing it was taken at Synthesea.
