In support of their forthcoming Bob Moog documentary Electronic Voyager, Waveshaper Media have produced a compilation LP of Moog recordings from the 1960s. The first compilation of its kind, Electronic Voyages: Early Moog recordings 1964-1969 contains tracks by Robert Arthur Moog, Herbert Deutsch, Joel Chadabe, Lothar and the Hand People, Intersystems, Ruth White, Max Brand, and Paul Earls. All of these tracks, released here on vinyl in an edition of 1000 copies, have been scarcely heard and difficult to track down, with all but three of them previously unreleased on vinyl.

Bypassing the Moog synthesizer’s backseat appearance on key pop recordings by the likes of the Beatles, the Doors, and the Beach Boys, Electronic Voyages aims to highlight the diverse approach of 1960s musicians and composers who adopted the Moog as their primary instrument; these recordings all feature the Moog synthesizer front and centre. Beginning with an “audio letter” (The Abominatron) from Bob Moog to his musician-muse Herbert Deutsch, demonstrating some of the first Moog synthesizer prototype’s capabilities, Electronic Voyages veers from avant-garde and electronic soundscapes, to psychedelic madness and summer-of-love pop. In the 1960s, the Moog synthesizer was a new, groundbreaking instrument, and its use was completely uncharted territory. The pioneering use of the Moog on all of these recordings sounds fresh today - you can sense the wide-eyed exploratory delight unfolding, and the disparate results range from endearingly naive (Lothar and the Hand People, Paul Earls) to downright eerie (Ruth White, Intersystems).

The musicians and composers behind these Electronic Voyages may have been among the first to adopt Moog synthesizers, but the fact that they so readily found within them expressivity, heart, and a means to translate their wondrous sense of discovery, speaks far more to Bob Moog’s visionary invention and enduring legacy."

Arturia MicroFreak Organ synth? | haQ attaQ

Published on May 4, 2019 Jakob Haq

"I’m doing sound design with the Arturia MicroFreak synthesizer. This synth has a lot of stuff packed into it which helps when designing complex sounds. Apart from checking out the Cycling Envelope, we’re also having a quick look at the 64 step sequencer and how sweet it really is. Let’s go!"

BEHRINGER MS-101 SEQUENCER - A CHAOTIC GUIDE

Published on May 4, 2019 Sounds From The Shed

"I was sort of working this out as I went along so it may not be perfect but it gives an idea of some of the features of the sequencer. I tend to prefer making songs than rambling too much so its just a rough look at the sequencer and what I figured out since there is no manual!"

Teenage Engineering OP-Z - A Tiny Little Set

Published on May 4, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"I've been very much enjoying the tiny magical, musical remote control-looking OP-Z. Having something so portable, neat but powerful that I can jam with around the house is super cool. I've been playing around with a few patterns as I'm learning the OP-Z, so I figured I'd form them into a little mini-set.

Lots to explore still (the sequencer in particular is super powerful and I'll definitely talk about it in more depth once I know it better), but what's really striking to me is how much fun I'm having making music on the OP-Z."

Synthesizer Sounds by Computerbandit

Published on May 4, 2019 Computerbandit

1. Sequential Prophet 6 - Pad Sounds (by Computerbandit)

Own created Sequential Prophet 6 pad sounds.
Only with internal effects.

The Prophet 6 is a great sounding analog Synthesizer. The resonance and the VCOs are so alive. The P6 can sound hard and smooth.

2. Roland Juno 60 - Synthesizer Sounds (by Computerbandit)

Own created Roland Juno 60 Sounds.
Only with 15% small room reverb.

The Juno 60 is a great sounding analog Synthesizer. His envelopes are awesome and alive.

3. Nord Lead 3 - FX Sounds (by Computerbandit)

Own created Nord Lead 3 FX Sounds.
Only with internal unison mode.

The multimode filter types are awesome and so clear. I think the NL3 has the best unison mode of all Nord Leads. Also great for cheesy digital pads and deep bass lines.

4. Nord Lead 4 - Pad Sounds (by Computerbandit)

Own created Pad Sounds of the Nord Lead 4 Synthesizer.
Only with internal effects. No Multitimbral / single sounds only.

I love the Nord Lead 4. Yes it can sound aggressive an digital but often he sounds so warm and smooth.

kurimanzutto presents Tarek Atoui’s project “Organ Within” at its cabinet space in New York City. Operating as an open sound laboratory, and instrumentarium, “Organ Within” is the result of his ongoing collaboration with instrument-makers Léo Maurel and Vincent Martial, and their research into historical church pipe organs, modular synthesizers, and the sonic experiences of deaf people.

As host and activator of the project, CONTROL has invited a diverse group of sound artists and musicians from New York’s experimental music community to venture and play the organ at kurimanzutto in New York. This group of collaborators will occupy the cabinet space one week at a time, to work with the instrument for research and recording purposes. These residencies, curated in collaboration with Robert Aiki Aubery Lowe, will be open to the public, with a weekly performance held every Saturday at 3p.
