I am very happy to share this new project with you: an EP of original electronic/electroacoustic fusion music. There are six tracks, including the single "The Prayer Is The Road"(a)/"The Road Is The Prayer"(b). To be clear - prayer in my context is secular: "a practice focusing on gratitude, mindfulness, and reflection to foster positive change, connection, or resilience without appealing to a supernatural being".
"Wheel Within the Wheel", the title track, is influenced by a visit to Tibetan Buddhist monks while they werein the process of creating a sand painting and then destroying it. "Fractal Loup" is about a state of active and curious meditation, a metaphorical wolf mind interpreted with looping. "The Float" is a dream through the worlds of techno and Berlin school. All music recorded & mixed at Alibi’s Little Corner Studio by MWGilbert and mastered by Sean Magee.
Upcoming: thanks to my partners at ElasticStage, "Wheel Within the Wheel" will soon be available as both an LP and a CD! You can check out my previous album "Electronic Music": https://elasticstage.com/mwgilbert
Hope you enjoy "Wheel Within the Wheel". I'm always pleased and grateful to hear what you think, so please let me know!

"The core of this piece is how the gong interacts with feedback from the VCS3 that I generate by overdriving the synth’s reverb module. If you’re a synth fan, the synth action in the first part of the piece is minimal but gets more involved in the second half."
"It's finally here! Today, we are diving headfirst into the Modal ELEMENT One.
In this session, we will do two things: first, walk you through the physical setup and signal flow to get the ELEMENT One up and running in your studio; and second, conduct a detailed first-look tour of the front-panel controls. Our goal is to move beyond mere "button-pushing" and instead understand the philosophy behind the interface—why we placed certain controls where they are, and how that layout influences your creative workflow."
"Unlock the full potential of your Modal ELEMENT One! In this video, we move beyond the front panel to dive deep into patch editing with Modalapp.
While the ELEMENT One is designed as a hands-on performance synth, the app unlocks advanced parameters, modulation routing, and preset management that take sound design to the next level. The ELEMENT One is fully compatible with Modalapp, giving you a powerful software interface to complement the hardware controls.
Whether you're a beginner looking to understand synthesis or a pro wanting to streamline your workflow, this guide will help you get the most out of your ELEMENT One."
📼 'Cassette Motion' is a collection of 64 arpeggio presets for Moog Muse. The collection embraces a retro character—highlighting detuning, subtle noise, and analog warmth to evoke the sonic aesthetics of the 70s and 80s. The patches are infused with nostalgic charm and are perfect for adding that vintage soul to your tracks.
📻 The timbral range is wide and diverse, covering dark, noisy, lo-fi, warm, deep, soft, retro/vintage, melancholic, atmospheric, detuned, FM, distorted, metallic, evolving, and sweeping.
🎛 All patches are Velocity-sensitive. The ModWheel enhances expressiveness by adding motion and tonal variation—brightening the sound, introducing vibrato, shifting timbre, or adding extra movement for dynamic and engaging performance. Aftertouch introduces distortion, detune, or resonance. The Macro Knob introduces additional changes—it adds bright overtones, or adds modulation to the filter or oscillators.
🧿 These presets are versatile and can be used in any genre of electronic music, such as techno, ambient, IDM, industrial, drum and bass, and others. This collection is also an invaluable resource for soundtrack composers, game developers, audiobook producers, video creators, advertisers, and social media content creators.
"Annulus is a six-mode resonator instrument for the modern music producer who treats sound like material. Modal, FM, string, and sympathetic voices feed directly into tape delay, shimmer reverb, and analog drive — a full sounddesign chain in one plugin, shaped by four expressive macros. At home in any musictech setup: fast to sketch a melody, deep enough to lose hours in texture.
The engine
Annulus routes your signal through four linked processors:
Rings: a MIDI-driven polyphonic resonator based on Mutable Instruments' Rings, running six distinct physical modeling algorithms. Eight voices spread across the stereo field with velocity and position randomization for organic variation on every hit.
Spiral: a stereo tape delay with tempo sync, ping-pong routing, wobble modulation, and saturated feedback.
Velvet: an algorithmic reverb with shimmer, diffusion, ducking, and a four-second tail.
Distortion: twelve waveshaping models at 2× oversampling, from soft tube warmth to asymmetric fuzz.
Four macro knobs: Morphe, Aigle, Nothros, Topos. Reach across the entire chain simultaneously. One gesture shapes the resonator, the delay, the reverb, and the drive at once. Topos also integrates into the visualizer's rotation, tying the image to the physics of the sound."
"GreyScale returns with a new generative performance built on the evolving KOSMOS‑2 engine, this time in collaboration with the PS‑Vita–based Drum Stream DS‑8.
The pairing creates a bright, solid sonic architecture: KOSMOS‑2 drives fluid melodic motion and probability‑based phrasing, while the DS‑8 injects crisp digital percussion with a uniquely handheld character.
The result is a compact but highly dynamic system — a hybrid of embedded generative logic and portable drum synthesis — forming a sound that is unmistakably GreyScale: minimal, sharp, and constantly evolving.
Features highlighted in this release:
- Generative Engine — KOSMOS‑2’s expanded modulation paths and refined Euclidean behavior
- Hybrid Clocking — pulse‑driven interaction between sequencer and handheld drum module
- Bright Solid Timbre — DS‑8’s digital transients layered with KOSMOS‑2’s controlled harmonic drift
- Portable Performance Setup — a minimal rig producing a surprisingly wide sonic field
A fresh direction for GreyScale, and a glimpse into how compact devices can form a powerful generative ecosystem."
"LFO Store’s chief sound designer, Nick Klimenko, is proud to present this fascinating soundset for UDO Super Gemini, a 20-voice polyphonic, bi-timbral, binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer.

"The title is a little tongue in cheek but I felt the urge to write a nice melody. The original plan was to write something that I could play on my e-ther, which would sound truly haunting, but after using a flute as a placeholder (and writing in some fast embelishments and articulation) I decided to play it using my Haxocorder and a flute software instrument.

"Ensoniq ESQ-1 by Cherry Audio is a landmark virtual synthesizer that captures the essence and iconic sounds of the classic ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer, perfectly timed for celebration of its 40th anniversary.
This plug-in features the original 32 waveforms, allowing it to faithfully recreate the complex, evolving, and richly textured sounds of the 1986 ESQ-1 in software form. Additionally, it comes with advanced features designed for today's musicians and producers. Its elegant design incorporates extensive modulation options, rhythmic pattern generation, and enhanced performance capabilities through polyphonic aftertouch and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). Ensoniq ESQ-1 also features a library of nearly 400 exceptional presets, including the original factory presets from the hardware, highlighting the best of both classic and all-new sounds.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Cherry Audio partnered with Creative Technology, the current owner of the Ensoniq intellectual property, to obtain official licensing for the original 32 ESQ-1 waveforms for this release. Equally important, we meticulously emulated the sonic signature and behavior of the original hardware's legendary analog filters provided by the renowned CEM 3379 IC. We also precisely recreated its four DCAs, four independent multistage envelopes, three LFOs, amplitude modulation, oscillator sync, and expanded its modulation system. Its accuracy is such that the ESQ-1 software supports drag-and-drop import of individual patches and patch banks from ESQ-1 SysEx files, or directly via MIDI from the hardware. Additionally, the software can export SysEx patch files that are compatible with the original hardware."
"This popular synthesizer from the mid-1980s combined single-cycle digital waveform oscillators with analog filters and amplifiers. Abundant modulation sources allowed for dynamically changing sounds and was very much in tune with the overall tone of the era.

"This is the most detailed and the deepest Moog One Masterclass.
8 Videos for a total of around 3 hours and 45 minutes.
It took weeks of work for shooting and editing...
Really an hard work.
The first video is free

"Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Buchla MARF (Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator) remains one of the most powerful, and also one of the rarest, modules ever made. It was part sequencer, part envelope generator, part voltage sculptor. It programmed up to 16 stages of arbitrary voltage shapes, each with its own time, level, contour, and behavioral flags. Using Claude, I have designed a simplified (but also, in some ways, enhanced) 8-stage version for the Disting NT called MiniMARFA. This video demonstrates it through two patches including Suzanne Ciani's Prism Melody (with a Buchla Easel).
