Social Distancing?

A little synth meme, synth humor in via Thesis Audio. The cat's face expression makes it. Just look at it.

Here's a flashback. Just posted today by UVI https://www.uvi.net. It's crazy how distant NAMM feels now.

"Enjoy some good vibes with some of our favorite moments from NAMM 2020!
Thanks to all the amazing people who came through, said hello, and shared their experiences with us. We can't wait to see you again next year.

Shelter in Place (TX Wiggles 56)

"Since we're all homebound, I started trying out combinations of different instruments. Here's a little jam using the Jarmaggeddon (glitch generator), Volca Beats, Volca Bass, Microbrute, and my trust ol' Les Paul. I like the way it came out. Oh... and not just one, but two cats managed to sneak into the video. Sheesh!"

Cherry Audio Voltage Modular synth software - free version - building a quick patch and having fun

Published on Mar 24, 2020 Expanding Sound

"Cherry Audio is one of the companies nice enough to give away free software during the quarantine currently going on. I am very appreciative and wanted to make a video trying it out. Being a synth guy it was very easy to navigate and get up and running quickly. In this video I make a quick two oscillator sequence and have some fun manipulating the sound with some of the modules included in this free version. If you haven't downloaded it yet, check out http://www.cherryaudio.com/news/2020-...
It's a lot of fun! The full version must be spectacular, and just made my wish list."

Of Permutation, Future, and Hope | Modular Vignette Series

Published on Mar 22, 2020 File Transfer Protocol

"Public service announcements, cute logos and catchphrases and official communications are all well and good, but those will fall on deaf ears when the bodies start to pile up... When there are no jobs to be had.

With calm sadness in my heart, the realization that what our children are about to witness is no different than the stories of hardship our grandparents and great grandparents shared with us when we were children.

Times unrecognizable as we arrogantly assume we have evolved past such desperation. We have not. This is the moment before the after that will forever change the face of humanity. A line, a bracket, in the timeline of human history.

Hold on to each other and brace... find comfort and harden your thoughts, as we only have each other. As governments turn their backs or topple, economies collapse and the faithful lose their sense of direction, it will be self reliance and sense of community that saves us.

Cooperate, Assimilate, Amalgamate, or Annihilate... it’s up to us. Maybe this is what we needed to see the humanity in each other, once again. Maybe this will change how we see each other... 'Flatten the Curve' is not a plan. It's a contingency for damage control.




Hope is such an interesting thing."

Quarantine Sessions 2

Published on Mar 21, 2020 Ran Kirlian

"Second live jam recorded during Covid-19 quarantine in my home studio. This live performance follows a similar structure than the previous one, containing different improvised sound environments melted together with a strong presence of a minimal modular system. In this session the main synthesizers were the Soma Lyra-8 and the Nordrack 2x, both reinforced with The Amazing Noises Reverb on the iPad thru Lexicon Omega audio interface. Nordrack is played from Korg Nanokey, connected to the iPad as well and routed with Aum to the Omega interface to the synth MIDI in. Sadly not much can be seen in this video due to bad camera (or artist) position, but I hope you like the music instead.

With this live recordings I’m not only having fun while playing relaxed without my typical time limitations, but also expressing this unique experience of being confined at home, watching the news, seeing the empty streets from my windows and having a social life limited to my wife, my son and my cats beyond the electronic communications.

Tracklist:

Part 1 - 00:00
Part 2 - 07:38
Part 3 - 15:23
Part 4 - 23:29
Part 5 - 28:44
Part 6 - 32:43
Part 7 - 35:02
Part 8 - 39:05
Part 9 - 44:08

Tools:
- Minimal eurorack system
- Soma Lyra-8
- Nordlead Nordrack 2x,

- Apple iPad Pro

Quarantine - Justin Hurwitz - cover by Randy George - theremin

Published on Mar 19, 2020 Randy George

"Quarantine. Challenging times. I feel that performers have a responsibility to perform even if live in public is not an option. Music can help us navigate the haze of isolation and uncertainty.

http://randygeorgemusic.com

Here is one of the rare works from a major motion picture score in the last few years that prominently features the theremin. Quarantine, composed by Justin Hurwitz, is a track from the film score to First Man, directed by Damien Chazelle, starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy.

In case you have been waiting for years to hear what progress I’ve made with the theremin… the wait is over. In upcoming videos I’ll have a lot more technology to share, but I’ll keep it simple for now with this theremin and modeled harp duet.

If you would like to learn more about how the music is the product of years of evolution, please subscribe. I will make an overview video or post it in an article soon.

List of hardware used in the performance and software used during production:

Moog Etherwave Pro (theremin)
Haken ContinuuMini (MPE synth)
Radial Pro D2 (passive DI box)
Presonus Studio 68c (audio interface)
Ableton Live 10 Suite (digital audio workstation)
Z Prism MIDI Merlin (real-time audio to MPE MIDI)
Modartt Pianoteq 6 Stage (modeled harp)
Polyverse Comet (very nice reverb)"

AdamJay - The System Has Failed Us - Live Techno

Published on Mar 18, 2020 Adam Jay

"A statement of frustration with our current global predicament, how our leaders have failed us, and how we must work together to overcome the reckless choices made by those who have abused their power.
I could not sleep last night and had to get this out of my system.

Equipment used:
Elektron Model:Samples , running just three different 556 byte single cycle waveforms from Digitone and Analog Four, used across all 6 tracks. Heavy LFO modulation to synthesize the kick and bass (DN) sounds, and hat (A4), all in the M:S.
Special thanks to Taro for those free single cycle waveforms.
Was a fun experiment in pushing such minimal material to the limits.
M:S output hits an Alesis Micro Limiter and some light Octatrack FX (EQ/Comp) as well. MF Twister just controlling OT bass equalizer."
