Circuit Tracks drives a Buchla and Friends -CALC- All along the way

"I made this video and it didn't seem to sit right at the time. So I figured I'd perform it on a livestream instead and have a chat about it.

If you're interested in seeing it in a different guise and a bit of chat about the track (and other things). Here it is: [video below]

After the live stream I edited the video and felt better about it so thought I might aswell put it up anyway....

The Novation Circuit Tracks is sequencing a Summit, Juno 106 and the Buchla 208C Easel command. Mutable Instruments Beads is getting to work on a sample I nabbed from David Lynch's daily weather update. I dont think this is copyrighted but of course if it is and I've been a bit too naughty, I'll just have to take this video down. The beads is clocked from the analogue clock out on Circuit Tracks too.

I had fun recording the Buchla line, using the newly added strum arpeggiator on the Launchkey MK3 its a fantastic way to get random rhythm but on some coherent harmonies.

Theres a lot of the incredible Vongon Ultrasheer on this track too.... it is a simply stunning 'verb and wonky chorus."

Live Stream from Chez -CALC- noodlings, talking gear and other such shenanigans

"I thought I'd take the plunge and spend an evening livestreaming from the studio.
There is no reason for this other than to have a beer and play around on some of the gear.
I'll be looking at the Buchla 208 Easel Command, the Sleepy Circuits Hypno Synth and a few other bits and pieces. I'll have a play around on some tracks I've been messing with too.
I havent planned or prepped for any of this it could be fun or it could be a disaster we'll see."
