Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright's Radical22 Gets an Update

Radical22 from Max Wainwright on Vimeo.

Radical22 (second edition)


"The Radical22 goes from sharp clicks to glitchy fm to an mp3 wash to harsh noise to video game sawteeth, to silence.

The module has 64 programs/algorithms that can be selected by a control voltage. Each program has a unique characteristic and chaotic behaviour that can be selected and explored through control voltages.

The Radical22 is ongoing work by Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright born out of the idea of Microcomputer Music: a music made from mini microprocessors and raw electronics that is always in-flux, noisy and may be overwritten."

Mute Synth 1 - Dirty Electronics

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"The Mute Synth by Dirty Electronics is a hand-held touch and tilt instrument with copper etched artwork and contoured printed circuit board that was designed in collaboration with the legendary record label MUTE.

The Mute Synth combines sound synthesis with a sequencer/pulser, and it is knobless. It is controlled by using the conductivity of the human body to complete the instrument's circuit when the copper etching is touched. There are touch points on both sides of the circuit board, and the instrument is designed to be played with thumbs and fingers. Two tilt switches on different planes allow for gestural control of the sequencer. Pulsating brilliant white noise and grunge in the hand!

Here's a link to a video showing what the mute synth 1 is capable of" [posted here]

Ensemble 1 with Grackler, Double Knot, Sidrax & Mute Synth


Published on Apr 23, 2019 Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"A little improvisation in the studio using four inspiring little instruments. Beginning with the Mroztronium Grackler and Dirty Electronics Mute Synth creating abstract noises and textures, followed by a deep pulse from the Lorre Mill Double Knot and playing live on top with the Chat Lonbarde Sidrax. The film is out of synch and I apologise for that but it hopefully captures the mood. A tiny moment in a creative day."

New Mute 4.0 Synth w/ Digital Wavetables Coming December 7 From Dirty Electronics


£89.00 via mute

"Release Date: 7th December 2018

The new Mute / Dirty Electronics MUTE 4.0 SYNTH is a synth with inputs, a digital wavetable synthesiser, an analogue noise circuit, and programmable sequencer. These features can all be combined in an environment to experiment with sound. Being hand-held, battery-powered and with headphone and line out, the synth is ideal for music making on the move as well as in the studio. At a turn of a knob and press of a button, sequences, control voltages, and cut-up loops can be programmed; or listen to the Voltage Collection by Dirty Electronics.

The MUTE 4.0 POCKET SYNTH is the on-going research by Dirty Electronics into making music with wires and code, objects and materials; and an artwork printed circuit board collaboration with Adrian Shaughnessy and Regular Practice. Printed circuit board meets album cover.

It doesn’t stop there. Expand the Pocket Synth with a limited edition chip by Dirty Electronics and Max Wainwright with mangled waveforms and accompanying fold-out booklet on microcomputer music.

Rare DIRTY ELECTRONICS Mute Synth MS II 2014 White Edition Synthesiser

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"At the core of the instrument is a versatile mini patchbay that provides expansion and modification permutations and a grid-like visual representation of patched parameters using coloured jumpers. The patchbay encourages interaction with the instrument and playfulness.

The printed circuit board artwork, with a black and silver finish, has multiple touch electrodes in the form of small squares that provide a labyrinth of possible connections and resulting behaviours. Different rhythmic sequences are created through hybrid 4-bit binary coding, feedback loops and bit bashing.

Dirty Electronics Mute Synth II (MSII) features:

# Noise generator
# Feedback
# Oscillator
# Wave shaping (triangle - square)
# Buffered output
# Sequencer
# External clock option
# Touch and knob/potentiometer controls
# Mini patchbay
# Dotmatrix display (external module - not included)
# PCB artwork

"The Dirty Electronics Mute Synth II (MSII) is a hand-held synth and sequencer.

At the core of the instrument is a versatile mini patchbay that provides expansion and modification permutations and a grid-like visual representation of patched parameters using coloured jumpers.

The patchbay encourages a particular interaction with the instrument and playfulness.

The printed circuit board artwork, black and silver finish, has multiple touch electrodes in the form of small squares that provide a labyrinth of possible connections and resulting behaviours.

Different rhythmic sequences are created through hybrid 4-bit binary coding, feedback loops and bit bashing.

The graphical artwork for the printed circuit board was done in collaboration with Adrian Shaughnessy. The Mute Synth II is Dirty Electronics’ second hand-held synth with Mute Records, the first being created in 2011.

One of the main ideas behind the Mute Synth II was to consider the dissemination of a musical idea other than through recorded fixed media, and to explore the intersection between sound object and artwork etching.

The synth also presents the notion of writing music through electronics and code.

The Mute Synth II is a statement against MPEG culture and places an onus on active participant rather than passive consumer. The synth has been born out of Dirty Electronics’ ongoing commitment to DIY approaches and noise aesthetics, and serves as a catalyst for experimenting with electronic sound. Additional modules and hacks allow for the instrument to be customised.

Features: Noise generator Feedback Oscillator Waveshaping (triangle - square) Buffered output Sequencer External clock option Touch and knob/potentiometer controls Mini patchbay Dotmatrix display (external module) PCB artwork Bend and hack points Expansion board capability Mini jack/headphone output Battery powered 9v (battery not included)"
