THADDEUS CAHILL: A Preliminary Paper From the Creator of the Telharmonium

An amazing bit of electronic history just in today via Justin Maxwell @303

" Merry xmas, synth nerds. Here's a never-published 1934 bio of the inventor of the 1st electronic musical instrument, Thaddeus Cahill by his brother. I've been meaning to digitize this for 20 years.

For those not familiar with Thaddeus Cahill and the Telharmonium, via Wikipedia:

"Thaddeus Cahill (June 18, 1867 – April 12, 1934) was a prominent inventor of the early 20th century. He is widely credited with the invention of the first electromechanical musical instrument, which he dubbed the telharmonium."

Polyend Tracker Live Performance

Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) performs on the Polyend Tracker (Firmware 1.3 beta 5).

The Polyend Tracker incorporates the quintessential characteristics of a classic tracker. The vertical timeline, the powerful sequencer and the mechanical keyboard combined with a newly designed input interface enables you to make and perform your music in a new and intuitive way. After a quick glance and a few minutes with the Polyend Tracker interface, you’ll soon realize the array of tools that are at your fingertips.

The Polyend Tracker is equipped with a variety of powerful sound design tools. Use samples from your existing library, record new ones with line or mic inputs, or use the built-in FM radio. Record samples, play them, slice them, mash them, or even make a synth out of them using Wavetable and Granular synthesis with all its necessary parts (filters, ADSRs, etc.)

Made A Christmas Song In One Hour (From Scratch #2)

GLASYS

"I tried to write a Christmas song for the first time in my life, in only one hour. Things got weird... quickly.

This is the second video in my new series 'From Scratch'. The first vid didn't do too well because I think it was too long, so I trimmed this one even more. I would LOVE your feedback, so please let me know what works / doesn't work in your opinion... I wanna improve the format. And if you have ideas for future episodes, please share them in the comments.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! :)

Christmas Tree Plays Eurorack Modular Synthesizer: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

MycoLyco

"A Christmas tree plays eurorack modular synthesizer via a bio data sonficaiton module. Merry Christmas and happy holidays! A special shout out to all those kids out there who don’t celebrate Christmas, I only recently started as I married into it and it can be a tough time. I feel you... sorry I couldn’t figure out how to get the menorah to play synth, maybe next year?

Changes in resistance are converted to control voltages for a eurorack synth. The tree was a little grumpy and needed some water to start talking, understandably so.

Thanks everyone for tuning in! If you dig it please share it!"

Mushrooms Play Synth Live Universe A1

MycoLyco

"Mushrooms play synth by being connected to a eurorack modular synthesizer. They provide the control hub for a complex patch including some programmed on the fly kick drum.

This is a live set with human fungal and plant interactions to provide some sort of entertaining music.

I connect various things to the synth, lions mane, cordyceps, a succulent, human hand, monstera and also connect them together."
