Technology For The Youth by Circuit3

New album release from an upcoming album by supporting member, Circuit 3.

Technology For The Youth is available on Bandcamp in 5 coloured vinyl variants, extended CD and Digital Download at https://circuit3.bandcamp.com





Additional details:

Ireland’s future-retro electronic artist Circuit3 (the alias of Peter Fitzpatrick) presents his third album 'Technology For The Youth' LP. Released via the UK's AnalogueTrash label.

Named after the Soviet science & technology magazine, the album arrives like a fragment of an abandoned space station, virtually destroyed upon re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Evoking different times and ambitions – the space race, moon shots, heroic achievements in the name of science, and unlikely Cold War collaborations in the USA and USSR - this album oscillates softly between hope and the limitless possibilities that fired up the imagination of young Fitzpatrick as he watched Apollo launches on his family’s TV set.

“As a kid, I'd been fascinated by things like Apollo 13,” remembers Fitzpatrick. "I was the kid who built the Airfix model of Saturn V. I was the kid with a pop-up book about Skylab. I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up, and I had no fear whatsoever about going into space. At that time, everything seemed to be so futuristic, and for a lot of my childhood I genuinely imagined that I’d be like Martin Landau’s character John Koenig in ‘Space 1999’."

Like the previous two Circuit3 albums – 'siliconchipsuperstar' LP (2016) and 'The Price Of Nothing & The Value Of Everything' (2019), which received praised by Martyn Ware (The Human League, Heaven17) – we find Fitzpatrick building crisp electronic pop songs from the enviable array of analogue synthesisers assembled in his home studio. Focusing squarely on that period before digital synthesis, much like how the lyrics on this new LP were informed by those space exploration endeavours occurring before the first Space Shuttle left Cape Canaveral.

If a fascination with space provided the emotional narrative arc for Technology For The Youth, it also informed the sonic structures that his lyrics float over. The pieces are fragile and minimal, built from layers so sparse that you can almost see the stars between them, each one edged with reflective, metallic textures like the exterior surface of an orbiting rocket.

For Fitzpatrick this was the album he always hoped he would make and one that he has poured his entire heart and soul into. Retro-futuristic but undeniably human, 'Technology For The Youth' is electronic pop constructed from the brave ambitions of forward-thinking scientists and politicians, and the remembered hopes, dreams and fascinations of a young Dublin boy.

The Sound of Kenny G Songbird with Oberheim OB-Xa, Emulator II, Rhodes


video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-22 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: retrosound.creator-spring.com

One of my favorite songs from the mid 80s. So moody.
Kenny G - Songbird from the year 1986
Produced by Preston Glass


I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa for all synth pads and string parts like in the original song. And I used the Yamaha Reface CP for the Rhodes sound and the arpeggio. The soprane sax is made with the Emulator II sampler. Sure not so dynamic like a real sax.

From nothing to musique concrète with Isla Instruments S2400


video upload by MrMakingsound

Description française ci-dessous.

"Look mum, no sequencer !

Isla Instruments S2400 is a modern sampler inspired by E-MU SP-1200.
Yes, you can create vintage, lofi and dirty Hiphop/House/Techno with it, but you can also compose modern stuff with neat sound quality. Before the review (i'm still working on it), i wanted to show how to perform a musique concrète-ish track without using the sequencer. Nothing is written before, all the sounds are performed live with pads, faders and filters.

S2400 only, with une pincée de OTO Machine BAM at the end, because there is no reverb in the actual firmware. But i hope it will change (This is a message for Brad and Vlad ^_^).

How it works :

Instead of using discrete and short sounds on each track, i like to use very long recording as a library of sounds, textures and ambiances. With the faders help, i can change playhead position, volume and pitch for each track. Pads are used to trigger and re-trigger sounds, filters to make room for frequencies.

As files bigger than 64MB can't be loaded in the S2400 editor, changing playhead position needs to be done blind, but that's part of the fun. You never know what you will trigger next, you need to improvise, and each performance is unique."

[Synth Exploration] LL Electronics Rozzbox One V2 (no talk)


video upload by MrMakingsound

"The Rozzbox One V2 is a poly synth created by Kilian Leonhardt (LL Electronics).
Released in 2008, only a few were made, and one year later, Kilian stopped the production to get back to his studies.

Ahead of its time, between digital and analog, this synth is perfect for making drones and pads.

No FX, only Rozzbox.

Not your typical poly synth :
- 5x voices polyphonic synthesizer
- 4x digital oscillators with 20 waveforms
- Digital and analog filters on each voice + one tube filter.
- FM mode with 7 algorithms
- Ring modulator
- Audio input
- 4 completely independent sequencer lines per voice, each with its own running mode and synchronization settings
- Complex 4-point modulation matrix with 16 sources and 16 destinations
- Complex trigger matrix with unlimited connection count, for interconnection of LFOs, sequencers, envelope triggers, MIDI clock,
- The switchable “Hacker” adds artificial analog aliasing (tunable)
- Bit reduction / Sample rate reduction
- Full MIDI control of every parameter

Includes 3 self-resonant Filter-Types:
- Digital high pass/low pass filter with resonance and 24dB/octave (4 filter poles)
- Analog low pass ladder filter with resonance and 24dB/octave (4 filter poles)
- Completely tube-driven analog low pass filter with resonance and 12B/octave (2 filter poles)"

"A fully expanded and upgraded Quasimidi 309, the vintage groovebox/synthesizer specifically designed for techno productions. The machine is in astonishing cosmetic and working conditions and has been recently checked by a professional technician. Ultra-safe packing and shipping insurance included in the shipping costs.

The Quasimidi 309 is and will remain a cult machine for any techno producer. A sturdy German made groovebox equipped with top quality drum sounds, an amazing synth section, an easy to use sequencer and a great interface plenty of knobs to instantly mangle the sounds. This unit implements:

Drum Expansion
Synth Expansion
Audio Expansion
Latest OS Upgrade (3.0)
Original Adapter
Original Manual

Synth Expansion adds 37 new oscillator waveforms (offering up to four oscillators each), two new filter algorithms (12dB low‑pass and 12dB high‑pass), plus sequence‑syncable LFOs. Additionally, since the audio expansion is also installed, the machine features two extra bass/lead synths. These synths can be played on their own MIDI channels, from an external keyboard or sequencer, or set up to double the main bass/lead synth.

Drum Expansion adds an impressive array of extra waveforms and samples: 14 Kicks, 11 Snares, 8 Hi‑hats and 127 Percussions. There are also now 20 instead of 10 percussion kits. This expansion also doubles the number of percussion kits (20 instead of 10) and memory locations (128 instead of 64) and adds also 38 new preset Patterns.

Audio Expansion adds a pair of audio inputs and an extra pair of assignable outputs. Outputs 3 and 4 can be used to send any 309 sounds (or the treated audio ins) to a mixer for external processing and you can also trigger the inputs from any of the drum machine/sequencer sections, for instant gated effects."

Roland Jupiter-4 Plug-in - Sounds Only Sonic LAB


video upload by sonicstate

This got me thinking of augmented reality synths. Imagine playig an ARP 2500 relaxing in your recliner.

"Jim Heywood, our resident sounds only guy, has a System-8 and took the Jupiter-4 Plug-in for a spin - though in this video he was using the System-8 to control the plug-in version - you can also run it as a plug-out in the System 8 - so we could see the full UI.

In his hands it does sound fairly delicious, and indeed you can grab the bank of presets he made via our http://Patreon.com/sonicstate.

Roland Jupiter-4 plug-in/plug-out is available now via Roland Cloud, either as a single one off perpetual license $199, or as part of the Roland Cloud Pro plan ($9.99/month) where it can be one of the two optional instruments, or as part of the Ultimate plan ($19.99/month) where you get everything they have. http://Rolandcloud.com"

video upload by Arcaico Instruments

"We are pleased to announce
that we are working on the making of a stop motion short film
for the presentation of our new module.
Our passion for this wonderful cinematographic technique led us experience a new way of sponsoring our eurorack modules.
The scenography and the characters are handmade
with recycled materials and only opensouce softwares were used for digital processing.
Music and effects were made with Arcaico modules.
Those who already know this technique know how much work does it take to produce even just a sequence of a few seconds.
We are doing our best to launch as soon as possible the first video that will present the new module.
In this short teaser trailer you can see part of the setting and the scenography.
We hope you enjoy it!"
