LoFi Future - Fragmenter 45 Circuit Bent HDMI Video Glitch Processor
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...
Track: LoFi Future - Canicular Days
https://lofifuture.bandcamp.com/track...
https://open.spotify.com/album/5oSvIp...
The Fragmenter 45 is a circuit bent Extron 1604 HDMI Scaler. It is a very high quality unit that demanded a very high retail price when originally released. The HDMI signal integrity is pixel perfect and doesn't compress your image when passed through this thing. It processes 1080p 60fps signals without even breaking a sweat!
This one features some effects that are new to myself, targeting a specific part of the clock circuitry that I have not experimented with before on any other device. The 3 push buttons trigger different clock glitch effects that completely take over the signal and make some mesmerizing patterns. They are an extreme and immediate set of effects, perfect for the most intense parts of a live visual performance. A bonus feature of these buttons is that when subtle artefacts build up on the screen after a while even when the effects are all off, a quick press of one of these buttons and they are all cleared! No need for a reset mid performance!
Another effect unique to this device in the horizontal warp effect that makes the clean HDMI signal degrade into something that looks like a weak analog transmission.
8 knobs control the colour digitise effect and another 9 knobs control the "fragment" effect section that splits the image up and repeats it in slices at a 45 degree angle. These two banks of knobs can be linked together with a toggle switch for even more effect possibilities.
This unit also features a VGA input and can scale the signal to a HDMI output, all of the effects work the same when doing so."

Haiku Generative Music Album by Giorgio Sancristoforo for Mac OS Released
Giorgio Sancristoforo's Haiku Generative Music Album is now available for download. You might remember the demos from previous posts here.
It's a fascinating concept. According to Giorgio Sancristoforo:
"Haiku is not an instrument, it’s a music album in the form of software.
Haiku is a work of generative music that builds its own sound from nothing each time you open it, and never plays the same way twice — a record that exists only while it is playing."
Be sure tee the Giorgio Sancristoforo website for his additional creations including dedicated experimental software synthesizers. You can also find posts featuring them via his label below.

大雨-Ooame: Promoting melancholia with digital radicalism and a cub
video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo
"In an age in which artificial intelligences spew out thousands of pseudo-commercial hits every day, making algorithmic music may seem like an exercise that has lost its meaning. And yet, for some reason, my unconscious has pushed me for decades — from time to time — to create electronic music without using sequencers, synthesizers, samples, or plugins, relying only on mathematics, writing computer programs that give shape to my sensibility without ever tempting me with the absurdity of the prompt.
It would be a lost battle anyway. A commercial AI would never be able to create these strange melodies full of errors and digital stutters, because this is music for outcasts, for nostalgics of a future betrayed by the massification of tools, by cleverness, by pleasant sound design, by cliché, by winning formulas and shortcuts constantly winking at the listener.
I have always believed that real experimental music is music that destabilizes the listener’s very concept of music, and I still believe it.
This is paradoxical music, in which the soul attempts to transmit nostalgia, intimacy, and melancholy through code — and precisely because it is born from code, it is the most anti-AI thing I can imagine.
It is not original music; music ex nihilo does not exist, and it does not pretend to say anything innovative. Yet it tries to communicate that it is still possible to imagine the algorithm outside the algorithm."

Pluto's Moons (Album) by The Pedalboard Orchestra
Also see The Pedalboard Orchestra's demos of Modern Sounds Pluto Semimodular Synthesizer
"This album presents ten extended ambient soundscapes (approx. 150 minutes total), composed and recorded using the Modern Sounds Pluto semimodular synthesizer as the sole sound source. Pluto’s architecture—featuring five primary modulation engines named after Pluto’s moons (Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra)—served as both a structural and conceptual framework during production.
Each track explores different interactions between these modulators, ranging from FM-based timbral shifts to complex CV-driven rhythmic deviations and slow-evolving modulation cycles.
Across the sessions, the wider effects chain underwent several iterations, incorporating various pedals for filtering, spatial processing, and granular-style textural shaping. However, two components remained consistent throughout:
Modern Sounds Pluto (core synthesis + modulation)
Eventide Space (primary reverb stage, used for long-tail ambient diffusion, shimmer variants, and modulated plate algorithms)
All material was captured as real-time, single-track, one-take recordings, with no overdubs or post-layering. Performance control relied heavily on Pluto’s internal modulation matrix, manual parameter riding, and dynamic interaction between the... more

released March 7, 2025
Many thanks to the brilliant creators of synthesizers and effects pedals -

Without their innovations, this album would not have been possible.

MSTRBLSTR - Pattern Clear Pattern Write
video upload by MSTRBLSTR
"MSTRBLSTR - Pattern Clear Pattern Write.
124 BPM machine-driven acid house - negative space, dub handoffs, tape delay + spring reverb. Brief clears, then a new polymetric logic takes over."
https://open.spotify.com/track/4dNO60... https://mstrblstr.bandcamp.com/track/...
"Machine-driven acid house at 124 BPM: transient-forward percussion with hollow-bodied punch, a constant bass groove that shifts in intensity, and an arrangement built on negative space and dub-style handoffs.
Tape delay and spring reverb open wide. Brief breaks wipe the grid just long enough for the pattern to snap back into focus. Then the momentum clears and a new polymetric logic takes over. Modulated melodic drifts change the room without abandoning the floor, leaving you somewhere familiar but newly yours.
Hardware: Din Sync RE-808, Roland TR-606, Roland/Tubbutec MC-2oh2, Cyclone TT-303, Alice 1228 mixer, Boss KM-60 mixer, Boss RCL-10 compressor, RE-201 Space Echo, Jeff Rubin Mu-tant Fly Phase, edited in Ableton Live.

Self Playing Patches by BENGE
video upload by Memetune Studio
"This series of studies explores an idea that Benge has been working on over the past year or so, namely that of Cybersynthesis. This involves programming self-contained patches on various modular systems which, once set in motion, will produce dynamic, evolving soundscapes, sometimes purely abstract in nature, at other times veering towards the more melodious
Many different methods were deployed in the patches, depending on the system being used, but normally multiple sequencer and switching devices were combined to give varying degrees of control over long time periods, often without repetition
Other things like random control signals and semi-random events were combined with the sequencers and switching units to bring variation to the performances the machines were making
The key idea at the heart of Cybernetics is the concept of bringing control to chaotic processes. To do this, some kind of feedback loop would ideally be established that can monitor and limit events that might otherwise spin out of control. The Serge and Modcan systems featured here each have various comparator circuits that can, to a certain extent, achieve this highly advanced synthesis feature
In the absence of such sensor paths, it is sometimes possible to use audio or voltage mixers and feedback chains to set various parameters to be on the very edge of chaotic behaviour, an approach used in many of the patches on display here
Other techniques such as the quantisation of voltages and the forcing of notes to play within certain predetermined musical scales were also employed in some of the pieces, which is another way of taming chaotic elements into into a more musical realm
Overall, a wholly experimental approach was applied to the various setups, with the intention of providing an insight into how these machines can behave. Of course, each system has an almost limitless depth to the complexity of patches available, and each track on the album provides just a single snapshot of each instrument used. But hopefully it provides an interesting glimpse into the wonders that these self-playing systems can achieve
Tracklist:
01 - Buchla 100 and EMS VCS3
02 - Serge Paperface
03 - Modcan A-Series
04 - ARP 2500
05 - Buchla 200 and DK Synergy

Benge electronic album Orgoustic Plus 30
video upload by Memetune Studio
"There is a new Benge album out today!
It's 30 years since I released my first album. This is a a kind of follow up
In 1995, I decided to set up a small home studio and record an album, using a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments. The result was my debut solo record Electro-Orgoustic Music, which was also the first release on my label Expanding Records
It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, a sonic adventure in which I explored my musical passions, combining old and new equipment, trying to discover my own unique voice with these fascinating instruments. I have followed my instincts and expanded my toolbox, but kept true to my original vision: to surround myself with inspirational tools and live amongst them, using them daily in my work and play
Here, I present to you an album made 30 years on from that debut recording, using a similar cast of instrumental characters, in fact many of the same ones which appeared on the first album
This album was made on the following equipment (asterisk denotes an appearance on the 1995 album):
Moog Modular 3C*
Arp 2500
Buchla 200
EMS VCS3*
Serge Modular
AKAI S950* / S5000 and AX73
Minimoog*
Yamaha CS40M
Korg Lambda
Baby Grand Piano*
Double Bass*
Clarinet*
Drums, Cymbals, Percussions*
Lexicon 224X and PrimeTime-95
AMS RMX16, Quantec QRS
Neve 88D Mixing Console"

Crawling Toward The Sun by Mike Wallace Featuring the Melbourne Instruments Delia Synthesizer
"Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mike Wallace in 2025, made solely on the Melbourne Instruments Delia synthesizer.
Rooted from a seed, destined to withstand the climb
What started as photosynthetic dreams began the ticking of time.
Slowly sprouting before ones eyes, the journey seemed too far.
The heat of the day caused blooming at night, coloring the sky with stars.
The joy of life was short-lived, as the sky began to mud
In a flash of light, the day went dim and soiled the ground with flood.
Time slows down when rain from heaven finds the plant off guard
The aftermath of lessons in life grows petals back twice as hard
Forced to remain resilient and calm. the plant now moves with ease.
The rain from summer turns frozen for winter-like icicles melting through trees.
With droplets of water penetrating the soil, the ticking of time has begun.
The day is fresh, a now journey awaits, as the plant crawl's back toward the sun.
-MW"
