mamotreco - lurking in the background [wonky lofi chill]

video upload by Mamotreco

"Made this over a few nights before falling asleep on my Teengage Engineering OP-1. I wasn't going in any particular direction and I just wanted to feel free. I basically recorded until there was no more virtual tape.

Chris Meyer’s Alias Zone: Nightfall, Kyiv (Moogseum version)

Maks Histibe: field recordings of the war in Ukraine (courtesy of Soundiron/Swords to Ploughshares)

Cory Friesenhan & She Who Shall Not Be Named: vocal atmospheres (courtesy of Black Octopus Sound)

Special thanks to Daniel Liston Keller for the live video switching.

The idea for this piece came when Maks Histibe of Mask Movement (https://maskmovement.com/) in Kyiv, Ukraine contacted me. As part of the invasion of Ukraine, their power grid is often knocked offline, and he was looking to raise money for solar panels and batteries to keep his studio operating. To do this, he created a series of field recordings of the war and life during wartime in Ukraine, and crafted them into a virtual instrument called Swords to Ploughshares.

I gladly purchased it, and used it as the basis for this song, which flows from the realities of life during wartime to attempting to lead a normal, happy life…only for the war to intrude, and drag people back in. A version of this song will appear on my summer 2024 release: Finite Space (https://aliaszone.bandcamp.com/album/...."

Due synth di casa Sequential a confronto, molto belli entrambi ma non così simili. L'attitudine dei due strumenti sembra essere differente. Chiaramente anche alcune caratteristiche tecniche risultano distanti.

Two Sequential synths compared, both very beautiful but not so similar. The attitude of the two instruments seems to be different. Clearly some technical characteristics are also distant."

UltraDubeRolzer - fanfare for a fabulous drone machine

video upload by NoctopolisMusic

"My first encounters with the UltraDubeRolzer mostly made me scratch my head and wonder what I´d got myself into, but then I paired it with the Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax organ and things took a different and most welcome turn - the UDR turned out to be a fabulous drone machine!

I just vaguely know what I´m doing here but there is crossmodulation going on between the Sidrax, the Duber filters (sounding wonderful!) and the Ultrasound section, and of course the Rollz do their thing too. All in all, the UDR (built by Maciek Jaciuk) semms to be an intriguing and exciting instrument. To be continued ..."

Note this is the first post to feature the UltraDubeRolzer. I ran a quick search online and only found the following video from four months ago.

The DecadeBridge Sn is a Perfect Synth

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"It's exceedingly rate for me to buy something on release day and almost unheard of for me to pre-order an unreleased product, but when small UK based synth maker DecadeBridge announced a small, self-contained lo-fi, FM-based drone synth with CV control, I clicked the buy button instantly."

TMU Press Allen Strange's Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls

In case you missed your chance to grab a copy during the 2022 Kickstarter, CONTROL is currently taking pre orders for the book here.

"With a new introduction by Stephen C. Ruppenthal, as well as a few pages of testimonials from people who learned from and were inspired by Electronic Music: System, Techniques and Controls, from Suzanne Ciani and Todd Barton, to Dave Smith, Dave Rossum, Serge Tcherepnin, Dieter Doepfer and Tony Rolando. The book has a new cover, compliments of Allen and Pat's daughter Erin Strange, who did a wonderful job of creating a new design that carries the spirit of the original 1972 cover into this new edition. The text of book is faithful to the second edition of Allen Strange's Electronic Music: System, Techniques and Controls, published in 1983 by Wm. C. Brown Company."

► ARTURIA POLYBRUTE - 50 Custom Patches, Sounds & Soundset | Synth Demo

video upload by synth4ever

"► Get these patches here: https://www.synth4ever.com/patches

Unleash your Arturia Polybrute with Morphology, a creative and versatile custom patch bank and sound set featuring 50 different sounds & presets. These meticulously crafted patches cover various styles, from regular bread and butter sounds to more ambient, electronica, industrial and experimental timbres for you to explore and create music with.

The Arturia Polybrute is a powerful and extremely expressive analog synthesizer, and I tried to push it in many different directions when building these patches. In addition to standard sounds (leads, bass, pads etc), I also explored arpeggiators, sequences, soundscapes and texture-based approaches to sound design.

CONTAINS SEPARATE A & B LAYERS + MORPHING!
All patches contain separate A & B layers for full morphing and take full advantage of the Polybrute's various expressive controllers (morphee, ribbon, aftertouch, mod wheel) to give you additional sonic possibilities within the patch itself - so be sure to experiment with all of these controllers!

These 50 Arturia Polybrute custom patches and sounds will import as a user bank via Polybrute Connect software, where you can transfer them to your Polybrute. This sound set requires Arturia Polybrute firmware version 3.0 or higher. Patches are compatible with both the original Polybrute and the Polybrute 12.

Overall, I'm proud of this sound pack and believe it covers a lot of interesting sonic territory for musicians and listeners alike. Thanks for your interest in my sound design and work; I hope you enjoy exploring and performing with these patches on your Arturia Polybrute as much as I do on mine."
