Matths - live at SUPERBOOTH23


video upload by Superbooth

"Acclaimed Radiophonic Workshop collaborator and Brighton-based electronic producer MATTHS (Matt Hodson) presents dark, brooding and extreme techno productions that boast brutality within the breadth of the production aesthetic using a bespoke modular synthesiser setup.
His live show then re-works the songs, as he reprograms the melodies through different filters and oscillators when taking to the stage, re-interpreting them into sometimes very different beasts.

His performances are a captivating fusion of experimental, ambient, and techno sounds, with each performance being a unique, improvised journey through uncharted sonic territories.

With his deep understanding of modular synthesis and keen sense of musicality, MATTHS has gained a reputation as a true master of his craft. His performances are known for their hypnotic rhythms, intricate melodies, and rich textures, creating an immersive experience for audiences that transcends the boundaries of traditional electronic music.

All of the new releases are available through his own label ‘Solitude’ at MATTHS’ Bandcamp page www.matths.bandcamp.com. including hours of high-quality live performances, remixes and exclusives for subscribers such as behind the scenes studio work, track breakdowns and more live performances.

23


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The latest Soma Digest (16) had a link to a #Pulsar23 'diode' experiment by Conatus Modulari from Rotterdam, NL. I am not sure how many of you own a Pulsar, but I see it shine at many live gigs by many people, and recently Johno Wells dedicated a whole show to it. Anyway, this 'diode' trick is amazing. Basically you'd combine an LFO with a Clock, LFO patched to the right side, Clock to the Left. Also clock the LFO with something. Then, patch/pinch/clip another line from the Clock side to your kick trigger and adjust to taste. I don't know how it works, I just know I love it. It reminds me of euclidian rhythms, but there's no code, no logic, just analog magic.
There's a video to Conatus' video where he explains how it works so I can just jam and experiment with the Buchla keys."

Het Concreet Scanner 2023


video upload by

"In November 2023, I joined the team at Het Concreet in Tilburg, The Netherlands for a week long residency.

Het Concreet is a Dutch sound collective dedicated to finding new sounds by experimenting with analog electronic devices, magnetic tape and acoustics. Their analogue ambitions are rooted in their studio space, where they seek to find new meanings of sound by working with techniques that have become largely obsolete in today’s world. Their main instrument is magnetic tape, so I collaborated with my own analogue gear.

Radio Concrète was a a 12-hour broadcasting marathon that explored radio as a compositional tool and included contributions from Margherita Brillada, Veerle Pennock, Clara Byom, Bas van Druten, Nele Möller, Marieke van de Ven, Sharon Stewart, and was hosted by Steph Byrne.

During my stay, I fell in love with the Elektor Formant, a vintage Dutch synth handmade by Jos van Ras. In addition I used my SOMA Ether, Lore Mill Keyed Mosstone and Make Noise Strega synth. At the end of the broadcast, I made an intimate performance for a live and dedicated audience in collaboration with Het Concreet. This is an excerpt from that show."

"Pollinator" by Disciples of Earth


video upload by Imaginary Lens

Music video for the song "Pollinator" by Disciples of Earth
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dis...



"THE FIRST Disciples of Earth VIDEO/SONG HAS BEEN RELEASED.

Jamie McMenamy: Soma Terra

Steve Sciulli: Soma Terra

The song is now available on all streaming platforms. Please click the link in the video to support us by downloading the song.

Here’s what to expect:

Our first song Pollinator is a dark ambient exploration utilizing experimental bio-connection technology. We interact with two Soma Terra instruments to create a textual sonic exploration of inner and outer space.

Jamie McMenamy and Steve Sciulli started playing together in the mid-1990s. It was during a event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash that we first performed together. Shortly afterwards, we developed the electronic music duo called the Missing Time Experience. The Disciples of Earth is our first intuitive collaboratory piece since the Missing Time Experience days.

We hope you enjoy.

A little about the soma terra:

TERRA is a highly conceptual device. The core idea is unity of nature and technology, and a perfect balance between simplicity and versatility.

TERRA is a sanctuary for a natural soul right in the middle of the rumbling plastic world, a ground where you can breathe in and out slowly, and hold on to your roots. TERRA is our dream about a bright future where we will be both technologically advanced and more connected to nature, where machines and technology are not a prison for our feelings and spirit but their extension."

BAF 2024: Soma - Enner


video upload by sonicstate

"At Buchla And Friends 2024, Sonic State caught up with Kevin at the Soma booth to find out more about the Enner synthesizer, which, due to increasing popularity, Soma have been ramping up production. The synth boasts a psychedelic aesthetic and excels at generating noisescapes while also offering the flexibility for melodic performances via its (we think copper) touch pads.

Enna is slightly reminiscent of the Lyra synthesizer, but with a pulse output section and a built-in piezo microphone, activated by a large pad. The Enner has a delay line with feedback and time controls for the left and right lines, and Kevin demonstrated the Bizarre Control which adds pseudo random modulation to the delay line leading to some screamy noise textures. The touchplates respond to touch, and Kevin even demonstrated the use of a metal scouring pad to create some crunchy tones. Enner can also be used as an external effects processor, to add some strange to your incoming signal.

Enner Price: 799 USD"

Jamuary: Acid Techno with TB-303 Devilfish + TR-606 + Syntakt + Pulsar23


video upload by Honeysmack

"One of my little hot jams for Jamuary 2024. Acid Techno with TB-303 Devilfish + TR-606 + Syntakt + Pulsar23. Had the Pulsar23 sequenced by the Syntakt, also the audio from the Pulsar23 fed into the Syntakt too. Improvised jam recored in a single take. Audio all through the Playdifferently Model1 mixer and the Elektron Analog Heat (not pictured) on the master bus for that extra little something. Octatrack not in use.
