Video description:

"Here we have - except for the three songs that YouTube has 'flagged up' for removal - the notoriously bad-tempered 'Saturday Live' set that was the legendary New Order's contribution to the BBC's 'Rock Around The Clock' music-marathon of pop videos, live performances and documentaries.
Some of the day's programming - notably, this New Order performance from the bowels of Broadcasting House - was simulcasted on the BBC's Radio 1/2 network, as there was no stereo TV in the UK back then.
This historic programme (New Order's "live radio debut on the telly", according to BBC presenter Richard Skinner) surfaced on an old V2000 tape that was being chucked out (together with the video recorder it was in). V2000 was an unusual (but at the time, technically-advanced) European home-video format, intended to compete with VHS and Betamax. Developed by Philips and Grundig, the now-forgotten V2000 had some cool features - like 'flip over' recording, and noise-free 'trick' playback. Don't laugh - this was a big deal in the early-mid 1980s!
The recording was alas in a very poor state - machine (which needed to be repaired) and tape alike had evidently not been stored carefully. I have cleaned up the visuals as best I can - and the result is not bad, considering that the source material is over 40 years old! Better still, I had the cassette recording of the stereo FM broadcast I made at the time - which I have managed to synchronise to the video.
I have it on good authority that the result is superior to what the BBC holds in its archives (allegedly a ropey off-air VHS copy, with hissy mono sound).

Escape - Live hardware jam with Sequential Take 5 + Ableton Move

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Back to another 2 minute jam (less or more ☺️).

This session features the Sequential Take 5 playing live chord progressions in real time through the Eventide H90: First section = Tape effect
Second section = + Aggravate distortion for a more industrial impact 😎🤘

The Ableton Move handles the Drums, Bass and Plucks.

There’s no MIDI sync or sequencing between the devices here as the Take 5 chords are performed live throughout the jam.

Hardware used:

// DRUMS, BASS, PLUCKS:
Ableton Move (Groovebox).
Track 1 🥁 = Drum Rack (homemade drum kit),
Track 2 🎸 = BASS Wavetable synth,
Track 3 🎹 = PLUCKS Wavetable synth,
Track 4 🥁 = Audio track (a couple of percussion loops)

Bitweaver demo: fully analog per-bit modulation

video upload by Finegear

"Bitweaver is an 8-bit fully analog bit-crusher that sounds warm, squelchy, fuzzy, and rich. One reason is in the circuit: its ADC and DAC are built from discrete op-amps, transistors, resistors and capacitors, and the inherent imperfections of converting and reconstructing the audio signal add a squelchy character to the sound. Another source of this machine's distinctive sound texture is that Bitweaver computes bits continuously, with no sampling clock, flipping whenever the signal crosses a threshold.

Each of the 8 bits is then yours to play with, from the Most to the Least important: turn it on or off, invert it, replace it with a CV signal, or override it with the value of another bit. All bit manipulations stay harmonically related to the incoming signal, expressing the unit’s wave-shaping abilities.

From sub-audio tremolo to classic bit-crusher grit, three distinct sonic territories open up depending on where you place the sample-and-hold stage (an analog take on sample rate reduction): before the bit engine, after it, or bypassed entirely.

Bitweaver invites producers, performers, artists and musicians to a new kind of analog destruction: harmonically rich, voltage-controllable down to the single bit, and ready to meet you from the desktop or the eurorack.

For this first video-demo, we are showing Bitweaver in a playground of noisy beats. A drum-machine is sent to the Bitweaver, which comes to “crush” the mix into a warm sauce on one of the sends, sometimes joined by an extra fuzz pedal before it. (For those of you who heard it at Superbooth first, please enjoy the …clean sound!)"

Bad Gear - The 2000s are BACK!!!

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. After years of turning nostalgia into profit by bringing half-baked reissues to the market there is still one era mostly untouched by the profit maximization of music tech executives.

Today we are going to talk about Waldorf microQ. This virtual analog synth was spawned into existence during the dawn of the DAW revolution of the early 2000s, it was - in a way - itself a half-baked reissue, dated on release and yet there’s no one to take the disposable income of both, sentimental Gen-x ravers and trance revival-obsessed zoomers."

"The Demon Box is more than an instrument. It’s a portal where DMX, MIDI, Eurorack, and built-in lighting converge, transforming hidden energy into real-time sound, light, and motion.

You’ve seen what the Demon Box can do, now it’s time to go deeper.This video shows how to unlock its full potential, bending these forces into a single living entity you can shape, route, and command."

Eternal Research Demon Box
Summon the sounds of electromagnetic oddities with Demon Box from Eternal Research, an innovative instrument that condenses the practice of using EMF for audio and control signals in a unified device. At the top surface of the Demon Box's triangular enclosure, a literal platform for audio experimentation awaits. Here, three channels of EMF inductor pickups are arranged in a nested spiral formation, which can be used to create unique tones and control signals by interacting with any object that produces EMF near the inductors. Power tools, FM radios, eBows, tuning forks, and other personal electronics become diverse sources for synthesizing tones, controlling modular synths, and even producing MIDI signals. Turning the inaudible waves of ambient and ubiquitous electro-ephemera into creative signal sources, the Demon Box offers a deep well of musical meaning-making waiting to be discovered.
