Explaining Solar installation quantum cloud


video upload by errorinstruments paul tas



"Solar Installation — A Music Box from the Future

Solar Installation is an experimental synthesizer — a bridge between art, sound, and technology. It reimagines how we interact with music, offering a different and deeply artistic way to explore and create sounds.

At its core lies a patch bay that opens up endless sonic possibilities. By experimenting with its connections, you can discover countless “sweet spots” where unexpected textures and tones emerge. The engine itself is alive with movement, evolving harmonics, and shifting layers of sound.

An integrated effects processor lets you transform these tones even further, adding lo-fi echoes, delays, and atmospheric modulations to shape entirely new sonic landscapes.

What truly sets Solar Installation apart is its dual-mode oscillators. Each of the four oscillators can be controlled in two unique ways:

• Precision Mode – using traditional potentiometers for accurate, tactile manipulation.
• Light Interaction Mode – using highly sensitive light sensors that respond to movement and changes in illumination.

This makes the instrument behave like an interactive installation. By positioning it in different lighting environments or allowing natural shadows to play across its sensors, the machine evolves on its own, creating ever-changing, generative music.

Sometimes, it behaves like a futuristic music box — a self-driven system producing evolving patterns, unexpected harmonies, and “happy accidents.” It invites you to let go of control and embrace the beauty of randomness, where sound becomes an organic, living experience.

Solar Installation exists between instrument and sculpture, science and art, intention and chaos. It’s not just about making music — it’s about exploring possibilities.

The Haunted Arcade of the DecadeBridge Triad (Drones, Noises, Glitches and Rhythms)


video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The DecadeBridge Triad is a unique little Synth module that generates drones, rhythms, noises and glitches - it sounds, to me at least, like a haunted arcade in the 80s - malfunctioning machines, wailing, whirring and bleeping. It's based on a trio of analog oscillators arranged in a fairly unique, raw and unpredictable arrangement. It works great as part of a drone or noise setup, makes for excellent sample fodder, and thanks to the neat "reset" input it can play along with drum machines and sequencers (especially paired with a little low-pass gate).

video upload by Canned Sound



via this Reverb listing

"The Syrmaphone, Canned Sound's original kinetic electro-acoustic instrument, is played by drawing a bow across a series of stereo-amplified metal tines secured to a wooden resonance chamber. This is fixed to a manually rotated mechanism to facilitate portamento performance. The Syrmaphone generates a range of inharmonic, voice-like, other-worldly sounds, atmospheric textures and unsettling audio effects ideal for experimental music, scoring and sound design. Recorded with Soundtoys Little Plate reverb plugin."

Spider pimp rare experimental cloud busting


video upload by errorinstruments paul tas

"Rare, One-of-a-Kind Sculptural Devices by Paul Tas

These are not your average machines. Designed and handcrafted by artist and inventor Paul Tas, each device in this exclusive collection is either:
• A limited production piece, or
• A completely unique, singular creation—no duplicates exist.

With unconventional, often surreal designs, these devices blur the line between functional object and sculpture. They may serve obscure or symbolic purposes, built more for exploration and expression than utility—think of them as machines that tell stories or instruments for imaginary tasks.

Every piece is:
• Individually constructed
• Visually striking
• Mechanically unusual
• Often part of a broader artistic vision"

Cricket, a musical instrument jewelry that can be played


video upload by ๅˆๆˆๅฐ‘ๆ•ฐๆดพ Synthesis Minority

"The Cricket is a solar-powered musical instrument jewelry. It chirps in the sun and can be played by shading. The patterns on its front are not only for decoration but also touchable. The three areas control three oscillators respectively. Pressing them will increase the pitch, change the timbre, and speed up the rhythm. There is also a touch point on the back that will interfere with the output and produce noise. A clip can be attached to the back to wear it on clothes or bags. You can also put it in the grass, and you'll feel closer to summer.

sharp glitches, and alien pulses. • ๐ŸŽš️ Effect Processing: Process external

audio or internal feedback loops with a rich palette of distortion, delay,

filtering, and noise. • ✋ Sensor-Controlled Sound: A touch-sensitive

and light-reactive sensor beneath the switch opens up expressive

performance options. Interact with light or skin

contact to alter the audio in unpredictable ways. •

๐ŸŽ›️ Patch Bay Exploration: The modular-style patch bay

encourages creative routing and discovery. It’s full of accidents

— those magic spots that only circuit bending reveals. • ๐Ÿ”Š Sonic Range:

From delicate liquid drop-like sounds to harsh industrial noise,

deep ego drones, and intense distortion — this is a tool made for sound designers,

noise artists, and experimental musicians."

GENE GX


video upload by LA Priest



"GENE GX is an all analog, polyphonic synthesizer with a class A audio path.

Inspired by the earliest polysynths of the 1970s, it is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive.

With 7 tuneable keys on each of its 3 touch sensitive keyboards (6 main keys plus one higher octave key on the right and also a silent filter envelope trigger key on the left), Gene GX can be tuned to a huge number of standard and microtonal scales using the two independent tuning, modulation and pitch bend sections, allowing you to articulate the pitch and timbre of each group as you play.

The unique all-analog oscillator design allows four different waveform harmonics to be controlled and modulated, creating shifting waveshapes and frequency ranges.

All of this is topped off with a lovely class A transistor ladder filter."

Introducing Lore - FM oscillator pair by Crows Electromusic





Press release via Crows Electromusic:


March 26, 2025 - Crows Electromusic, a small synth company from Vancouver, Canada, is thrilled to introduce Lore, a standalone all-analog tool for exploratory sound synthesis, ambient, drone, and noise music. With individual controls for each function, Lore gives direct control of two independent triangle-core oscillators and can be switched to an FM synthesis mode to unlock a wide range of complex tones. The instrument’s unique un-quantized interface is perfect for exploring pure tones, drones, and FM sound textures.

Features:

• 100% analog circuitry
• Two triangle-core oscillators
• Crossfade between triangle and square waves
• One-control-per-function interface
• Fully standalone, just add headphones
• Transparent bioplastic enclosure
• USB powered
• Handmade in Canada

Lore is our second release, building on what we’ve learned making our first product OVUM analog sound explorer. We had two goals in mind during development: first we wanted to make something that could create a harsher and more aggressive sound, and second, we wanted to see how small a synth we could make. On both fronts we think Lore is a success - it measures under 3 x 3 inches, and the FM mode gives you access to a whole range of shimmering, grinding, and metallic sounds. Just like with OVUM, we prioritized immediate control and ease of exploration. No understanding of oscillators, wave shapes, or FM synthesis is required to pick it up and start creating interesting and inspiring sound. We think people of all ages, musical abilities, and experience levels are going to love this instrument.

Lore is available now for $79 CAD / $59 USD.

Crows Electromusic is a small synth company based in Vancouver, Canada. Started by Cory Alder in 2022. Crows’ goal is to develop new hardware instruments that challenge the established ways we interact with sound and music creation. Their first product, OVUM was released in 2023, and their second product Lore is available now.

For more information, please visit Crows’ website at https://crowselectromusic.com or follow us on social media (Instagram, Bluesky) at @crowselectromusic.
