Breathe by Jay Wires


video upload by Jay Wires

"Breathe is the 4th track off the Kaboom! EP by Jay Wires."

Available on muliple formats here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jaywires/breathe





"In contrast with the preceding singles from ‘Kaboom!’ [posted here], ‘Breathe’ is positively upbeat. Its lyrics contain a sense of soothing, calming relief after the heartbreak and emotional upheaval elsewhere on the EP, and its sounds and rhythms are nothing short of ascendant and rapturous. It is a hopeful song about rekindling the fires of romance.

The inspiration for the sense of optimism came from a walk that Jay took in an abandoned park in Astoria, Queens. “I was walking through the long, uncut grass during the COVID lockdown,” he remembers. “The climatic break and instrumental section that follows it in 'Breathe' were meant to capture that euphoric feeling of two people getting back together.”

‘Breathe’ provides a transcendent conclusion to ‘Kaboom!’, the debut Jay Wires EP. Two years in the making, the EP contains 4 songs freighted with intense emotion and epic electronic arrangements. These songs are an expression of what Jay calls “electro-pop therapy” and were inspired by a painful break-up during the isolation and loneliness of COVID lockdown."

"Belltone Synth did the upgrades. This synth has a new power switch, power plug connector, all new oil filled sliders (I think they are P&G, they are not the regular replacements sliders. They are silky smooth), new felt, and the Tubbutec MIDI conversion with upgraded MIDI connectors (that also match better).

Before it went to Belltone Synth I disassembled the entire synth and cleaned with soap and water every key and rinsed clean all the rubber contact strips as well. They then did upgrades and ran diagnostics.

The iconic Waldorf Wave


video upload by synthlegends

"The Waldorf Wave was the most sophisticated synthesizer, which was produced in Germany, maybe one of the most sophisticared synth ever made. It came out in 1993 as the successor of the Waldorf microwave (1989). It was designed by Axel Hartmann and was highly regarded as a great insdustrial design.

The Waldorf Wave has 64 internal waves and 64 custom waves. It has two oscillators, three envelopes and three LFO. It has a curtis CEM Filter design, with low pass, band pass and high pass. It is 8 times mulittimbral and has 16 Voices in the basic version. In the bigger version, which is on the pictures, it has 32 voices and 76 keys. In this video I demonstrate the basic version and mostly layered sounds.

As you can see, I am tweaking around the sounds, especially also the waves and the behavour of the wavetabele envelope. Later on my camera striked, so there is no video content anymore. I hope you dont mind. Thanks for watching and listening again."

Herb Deutsch Has Passed Away


video upload by Moog Music Inc



Herb Deutsch passed away yesterday. He was born on Feb 9th, 1932, making him 90 at the time of his passing. If you come to this site you know who he is. You can find pages of posts featuring him here. He was constantly active in the synth community, from it's birth as the co-inventor of the Moog Synthesizer with Bob Moog, to this day. I thought I would share the recent GIANTS video featuring him above from February this year.

When the greats pass away, I like to capture images and bios at the time of their passing. To the left is Herb Deutsch's current Facebook profile image. Directly below that is the last update of his posted on December 7. Below that is an image from the Wikipia page for him with the text that immediately follows. Finally, below that are some images of him from the early days from Moog Music's Herb Deutsch Looks Back on the Early Days of Electronic Music tribute.

He and Morton Subotnick likely had the greatest influences on the design of synthesisers as we know them. Herb brought us the tonal influence via the keyboard as the direct interface for a synthsizer and Subotnick brought us atonal sound exploration akin to tape manipulation.



via Wikipedia

"Herbert A. Deutsch (February, 1932 - 9 December 2022[1]) was an American composer, inventor, and educator. Currently professor emeritus of electronic music and composition at Hofstra University, he is best known for co-inventing the Moog Synthesizer with Bob Moog in 1964.

Deutsch died on 9 December 2022.[2]

Herbert A. Deutsch (February, 1932 - 9 December 2022[1]) was an American composer, inventor, and educator. Currently professor emeritus of electronic music and composition at Hofstra University, he is best known for co-inventing the Moog Synthesizer with Bob Moog in 1964.

Early life and education
Deutsch was born in 1932 in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York. At the age of four, he first realized he had a musical gift. Through his childhood, he studied music and began composing at a young age. Deutsch attended the Manhattan School of Music, earning his B.A. and M.A. there.

Work with Moog
Deutsch had assembled a theremin based on Moog's design in 1962 and in November, 1963 he introduced himself to Moog at a music-education conference in Rochester, NY.[3] In 1964 Moog and Deutsch started investigating the possibilities of a new instrument to aid composers.[4] Deutsch has been credited with the keyboard interface of the Moog.[4] He composed the first piece ever for the Moog ("Jazz Images - A Worksong and Blues"[3]) and performed early Moog concerts at The Town Hall and The Museum of Modern Art in New York (1969's Jazz in the Garden [5]).[6] The prototype Moog synthesizer, developed by Bob Moog and Herbert Deutsch in 1964, is part of the collections of The Henry Ford museum.[7]

Career
Deutsch was a dedicated educator. In the early 1970s he taught at St. Agnes High School in Rockville Centre, New York. He has taught at Hofstra University for over 50 years and was twice the chair of the music department. Deutsch co-founded the Long Island Composers Alliance in 1972, and worked with music foundation NYSSMA. In 1994 he proposed its Electronic Music Composition Showcase.[8]



via Moog Music's article Herb Deutsch Looks Back on the Early Days of Electronic Music

"On October 12, 1964, Bob Moog unveiled the first modular voltage-controlled synthesizer, an instrument that forever changed the course of modern music.

It began quietly, in 1964, when Bob Moog designed a new electronic instrument to composer Herb Deutsch's request. Herb wanted something to create complex and experimental sounds, tones not easily found from other instruments or with studio trickery. What Bob designed was not wholly new, it sprung from a powerful new combination of existing ideas. The concepts, when combined with some elegant design choices, made a very powerful and revolutionary new system. The new ideas found in the Moog synthesizer took several years to catch on, and it is likely even the first users had little idea what range the new instrument could truly offer."

4ms Shaped Dual EnvVCA, Dual EnvVCA & EnvVCA Demo


video upload by 4ms Company

"Featuring the Shaped Dual EnvVCA, Rick Batyr runs all of the EnvVCA units, along with our other new modules through the paces.
------------------
Shaped Dual EnVCA
https://4mscompany.com/shapedenv

The Shaped Dual EnvVCA is a two-channel analog envelope generator with variable waveshaping and a stereo linear VCA. Unlike conventional analog envelope modules, the waveform of each envelope can be controlled with a slider or CV without changing the envelope timing. With a wide time range from an hour to 2.5kHz, and a plethora of CV inputs and attenuverters, it can be used as an LFO, audio-rate oscillator, slew limiter, waveshaper, ASR/ADSR/complex EG, independent audio/CV VCA, envelope follower, sidechain processor, and general utility module. Each channel has dedicated linear outputs plus attenuverters and offset controls for the variable waveshape outputs, making it an ideal modulation source and stereo VCA. 100% analog, 20HP, $339

Dual EnvVCA
https://4mscompany.com/dualenv

The Dual EnvVCA is a two-channel analog linear envelope generator with two fully independent low-noise exponential VCAs. With time ranges from 30 minutes to 8kHz, it can be used as an LFO, slew limiter, ASR/ADSR complex EG, audio-rate oscillator, stereo audio/CV VCA, envelope follower, sidechain processor, and general utility module. The outputs can be attenuated, inverted, and offset without disrupting the VCA, making it a versatile modulation source. 100% analog, 16HP, $225

EnvVCA
https://4mscompany.com/envvca

The EnvVCA is compact analog envelope generator with a built-in low-noise exponential VCA. It’s a perfect companion to any VCO, whether you trigger it or self-cycle, and/or use the envelope output to modulate something else. With a wide time range from 30 minutes to 10kHz, it can be used as an LFO, slew limiter, audio or CV VCA, ASR/ADSR envelope generator, audio-rate oscillator, and more. 100% analog, 8HP, $159

Nina Richards - Rust (Part 1)


video upload by Nina Richards

"Music heard during the intro to Philosophy Tube's Transhumanism Video!

Primarily performed on my modular synth, with additions of guitars and piano.

The track is from an EP I'm working on at the moment and I'm hoping to have that out in January.

The title 'Rust' is referring to old storage media, 'spinning platters of rust'.

One of my favorite 80s ballads
Billy Idol -Eyes Without A Face (1984)
The Song was written by B. Idol and Steve Stevens and produced by Keith Forsey.

I used the Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer for all synth pads and the main theme riff.
And I used the E-MU Emulator II sampling synthesizer for the bass, add drums, the synth voice and fx.
FM bell sounds: Yamaha DX7 II FM synth
Drums: LinnDrum (1982)

The Oberheim OB-XA Synthesizer is one of the big legendary synths in music history. Here can you find the full OB-Xa playlist with a lot single sound demos, synth comparisions and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.
