Modular 8 Interview: Brian Kerby (Zerosum Inertia) Introduces the Noise Sorcerer

Published on Jun 2, 2017 Modular8

"Interview with Zerosum Inertia about the versatile new eurorack handmade, all-tube noise source, the Noise Sorcerer. This is followed by two short demos of the Noise Sorcerer; first as a metallic snare/cymbal then the unprocessed sound."

All tubes by Weinglas

"'All Tubes' is the latest release from European noisemaker Weinglas. All tracks from this strange ride into darkness were created with the help of modular synthesizers and sound machines made with tubes. Thanks to Brian from Zerosum Inertia, Eric from Metasonix and W.T. from Trogotronic, who designed and produced these strange machines, Weinglas could turn the warmth and rawness of these old fashioned elements into never-before-heard walls of noise, sounding modern and vintage at the same time."

The following is a video for Tubemaster 2, the 10th track on the release on Vicmod Records.

Requiem for Christmas!

Published on Dec 12, 2013 Wein Glas·25 videos

"A track from the new Weinglas album 'Game Over!' on the fabulous gameoflife label!!!

Wishing you a dark and merry christmas! But be warned: This is not your usual christmas album! Download from http://gameoflife.bandcamp.com/

And some more info:
Do you remember Weinglas, the guy from Germany, dressed in black with black glasses, who wanted to paint the world black with his dark sounds. He is back, more black than ever, with his new release 'Game Over!' that sucks you right into a mostly desperate world full of darkness which even makes hell look (and sound!) like a nice place.

The work on this concept album about dangerous games and fallen angels helped Weinglas through some very rough times. He produced all tracks solely on a Buchla 200e pimped with a lot of tube modules from his friend Zerosum Inertia. And for the first time ever he only used black patch cords for this release.

So, be warned and listen at your own risk. But beware of your inner demons while you enter the dark dream world of 'Game Over!'"

Too Heavy for Breakfast

Published on Sep 6, 2013 Wein Glas·24 videos

"Time for some Industrial Noise, but caution: 'Too heavy for Breakfast' is not only the title of the song!

Instruments used were a Buchla 200e with Zerosum Inertia Tube Modulemodules. The sound of this modular synthesizer was mangled by a Ciat Lonbarde Cocoquantus, and a Ciat Lonbarde Sidrassi delivers some soothing sounds on top of all the heavy noises.

Enjoy the Noise!"
