Radio Row: John Cage x IDM

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Channeling the spirit of John Cage, with the aid of ADDAC’s Servo module, a cheap radio, and a looper.

FURTHER NOTES:
• feedback on the Disting stereo delay is set to 28, just below the 100% level (32), so that sounds eventually fade out. The transience of sound - and the futility of trying to capture it through recording - was a theme in Cage’s writing.
• analog radio itself now seems to be fading away; several countries have already dropped FM. This kind of piece may not be possible soon.
• to ensure intervals of silence (rests), Cage specified AM band, which had fewer stations. I opted here for FM, for the warmer sound, reduced static, and closer spacing of stations.
• finding a radio that would work was a challenge. It had to be analog, with a headphone jack, and a simple frequency dial (1:1 ratio as Servo cannot go beyond 270 degrees). And the dial cap had to be removable. The only one I could find with all this was Studebaker Portable AM/FM Radio SB2002: https://studebakerhifi.com/collection...
• To fit the Servo’s arm to the tuner dial, I needed an adapter (a coupler from my son’s old Meccano set fit perfectly!)

U-He Zebralette Free Presets: Rhythmical Bass, Lead, Pad, FX

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌑 Umbra Rhythms is a collection of 25 softly playful, rhythmically dark presets for U-He Zebralette. It was created by pushing MSEG into musical motion: pulses, off-beats, and micro-swells that turn rhythm into tone.
💽 What you get:
Types: 3 Bells, 5 Basses, 2 FXs, 5 Leads, 2 Pads, 4 Rhythms, 4 Strings.
Mood: soft, game-like, dark-tinged, alive and breathing.
Focus: tempo-aware MSEG shapes that add movement even to long notes.
ModWheel does more than brighten the tone. It can reshape MSEG curves, tilt filters, shift wave symmetry, change rhythm density, or morph the contour. Push it and the sound can flip personality while also getting brighter.

The Finish Line

video upload by davidryle

"Having a little fun with the Q960 sequencers and the Moog Matriarch.

The Q960 pair are set up for index sequencing on the bass line. This is a fun way to mangle the bass line but keep it steady in time with the drum pattern. The gate duty was handed to the Dotcom Q172 quantizer for only sending gates when there is a change of pitch voltage. This helped to avoid the typical pulse rhythm.

The bass voice is a pair of Synthetic Sound Labs TZ-VC Oscillators in FM coupling. There is a third VCO from SSL for a sine wave sub-oscillator. These are mixed through the Corsynth C114 transistor drive mixer to the Oakley Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter in low pass mode. The signal is split and sent through the Modcan 73B stereo echo delay and also a dry signal is driven by a second Corsynth T-Mixer for added saturation.

The drum sounds are from the Delptronics LDB-2E and the TipTop SD808 snare. There is a Mutable Instruments Grids and the Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer coupled to trigger the modules. The snare is sent through the MakeNoise Echophon delay and produces the raspy pulse voice heard throughout.

A hollow wood/metal block percussive sound is generated by a pair of Dotcom Q106's, a Mega Ohm Audio CdS LPG and an SSL Digital Delay. This is triggered by the STG Trigger Mini Store and reset by the Moon 554 Octal Clock Divider.

The IN-YER-FACE lead line is the Moog Matriarch through a T.C.Electronics D-Two delay unit.

Clock source was from Cubase through the STG Time Divider.

A pair of Dotcom Q962 Sequential Switches were used to route the various step gates from the lower Q960 Sequencer to the upper Q960. Routing and pitch values were pre-determined after hours of rehearsal to set up a particular scale or mode that determined what I should play on the Matriarch.

It should be noted that certain happenstance values of the sequence pattern produced passing tones that lead to the typical blues scale in C. I just had to go with it."
