Forgotten Futures /// ( 4 / 7 ) /// Silent Requiem

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"Hidden deep in the forests of northwestern Bosnia, on the slopes of Mount Grmeč, lies a striking monument, powerful, enigmatic, and tragically forgotten. Built in 1979, the Grmeč Memorial Complex was dedicated to the Yugoslav Partisan fighters of World War II.

This is not a conventional monument. It was conceived as an immersive space, a place where history is not only told, but felt. Two white marble semi-spheres, each 15 meters high, rise like a blossoming flower; a symbol of freedom in the making. At the center stood a model of the surrounding terrain, illuminated from above by natural light pouring through a zenithal opening, evoking the secret partisan hospital once hidden in the mountain.

All around, forest paths wind through the trees, connecting concrete structures that once marked the hospital’s various buildings : kitchens, operating rooms, dormitories. The explanatory plaques have either disappeared or been vandalized, and nature has gradually reclaimed what was once a space of transmission and remembrance.

During the socialist era, Grmeč drew thousands of visitors, students, veterans, families from across the country. The nearby Grmeč Hotel stood as a symbol of a time when memory was shared, collectively lived and honored.

But memories, like societies, evolve.

With the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the site was left behind, swept away by political upheavals, conflicts, and multiple layers of loss. Today, no signs point to it from the main road. The ceremonies have ended.

Silence has settled in.

Grmeč has become a paradoxical place: it was meant to embody unity, courage, and collective memory, yet today it stands in the shadows, caught between ruin and rebirth, between remembrance and forgetting.
And yet, this silence is not empty. It invites reflection. Because collective memory is never fixed ; it is shaped, challenged, and transformed.
What we choose to pass on, or not, speaks as much about the present as it does about the past. Grmeč reminds us that remembrance is a fragile gesture, sometimes painful, but always essential.

And in this place, lost in the heart of the forest, the weight and depth of Balkan history quietly surface, shaped by struggle, wounds, silences, but also by sincere acts of remembrance. A plural memory, sometimes fragmented, always full of meaning, if we are willing to stop and listen.

Baloran Introduces TheBumBleBee (aka The 3B)

video upload by Laurent Baloran

"A zen moment at the helm of The 3B.
more informations on https://baloran.com/store/index.php?r..."



Available in desktop and eurorack formats.

Google translated:

The 3B is delivered assembled in its external case: 2mm folded aluminum, 4mm machined aluminum front, epoxy paint, DC/DC converters and Meanwell power supply, the whole demonstrates a hardware quality that lives up to the pleasure that The 3B brings.

On the left (yellow adjustable support) is a 3D Laser/IR, without any danger for fingers and eyes, it is a specific technology called TOF (Time Of Flight). This sensor transmits an image of your hand or any other object that enters its cone of vision, as well as the precise distance between the object and the sensor. The image allows, by analysis, to determine the X and Y position of the hand or the object. The Z height is transmitted directly by the sensor with millimeter precision.

A second identical sensor, placed on the right (blue swivel support), transmits the X2, Y2, Z2 coordinates as well as a GATE G2, allowing completely independent two-handed play.

In the center, two buttons A and B are very sensitive pressure sensors. They transform pressure into voltage available on the A/X2 and B/Y2 sockets. They can operate as two independent sources or as a single source controlled by the two buttons: in this case, button A decrements the value, B increments it and both can act simultaneously to allow excellent control finesse.


Management of height information (Z1 and Z2)

The height of the hand, another part of the body, or an object in relation to the sensor is fundamental playing information and The 3B offers you several ways to manage it.


LIKE THEREMIN mode

When the hand enters the cone of visibility of the sensor, the GATE is activated. The voltage available on Z will correspond to the height of your hand. By default, The3B offers 120mm per octave. With its sensitivity, in broad daylight and without gloves, you cover three octaves minimum. You can change this 120mm reference per octave (possible values ​​72, 96, 120, 180, 240 and 360 mm)


SELECTED SEMITONE mode

Each 10 mm of movement (with 120 mm/octave setting) corresponds to a semitone. The GATE in this mode is generated for each note played. You can activate/deactivate certain semitones to limit the range to a specific key or notes.

✨🍁 Force Field / Episode 4: Oberheim TEO-5 - November 22nd, 2024 / DnB / House / Funk / Breaks 🎹✨

video upload by Force Field

"This is my first time taking out my new Oberheim TEO-5 instead of my usual OB-6. All sounds besides the drum and vocal samples are created live on the TEO-5.

I'm really enjoying the compact form factor and more modern sound of the TEO. I was surprised when I first got it to find that it sounds more like an OB-X8 than an OB-6 though I have never owned one. That is just based on my experience playing the X8 in a showroom. Looking forward to exploring this synth more and bringing it out for more jams.

Improvised and recorded live in Los Angeles, CA on November 22nd, 2024 🪄✨🌸"

A Nice Song For Autumn

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"Hologram’s home base (Knoxville, Tennessee) exhibits pretty stunning colors during the season’s change into winter. This song initially started as a backing track for a short video we made about the Hohner Pianet and Chroma Console, but we thought it would be cool to turn it into something a bit larger in scope and film the performance outside while the autumn landscape is at peak vibrance.

We get a lot of comments asking us to make longer versions of the demos/songs we write to showcase our pedals, so this is us making good on those requests. This is an original piece written, performed, and filmed by Hologram staff - we hope you enjoy!"

Escaping to Nature with the Digitone

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Sometimes, I need to step away from screens and just reconnect with nature. My birthday was on the 7th so I I packed up my Elektron Digitone, the Myvolts Step Up Explorers Kit, and a portable Bluetooth speaker and headed out to a quiet spot where I could breathe. Being surrounded by trees and open skies always inspires something deeper in my music; it's like the melodies just flow naturally in response to the landscape. I found a shady spot, plugged in, and let the Digitone hum its warm, evolving tones. As I dialed in delicate FM textures, while listening organic sounds, I felt an incredible sense of peace. Making ambient music here felt right, like syncing with a rhythm older than any technology.

A Synthesizer Played by Glacier Melting Waters - M E L T by Ghost In The Loop

video upload by Ghost In The Loop

"The full recording session for M E L T, from my new EP C R Y O S P H E R E, is finally here.

This track holds a special place for me because everything about it was completely unplanned. I initially set out to demonstrate my recording techniques inside a glacier, but what was supposed to be a one-minute demo kept growing, first to two minutes, then four.
As I continued, the recording evolved into what felt like a symphony of ice, with the raw, cinematic power of the glacier resonating through the sound. It’s moments like these that show the beauty of the unexpected in extreme recording environments.

For those curious about the technical side, I used an Interharmonics geophone and an Organic Audio hydrophone, connected to my Empress Effects Zoia, which acted as a pre-amp and envelope follower. The audio signal was split using Big T Music LTD’s Mansoon module as a resonator. I manually adjusted the pitch of the chords in real time, creating a progression based on what I was hearing. This added a layer of challenge to the live one-take recording process—if you watch closely, you’ll catch the moments where everything falls perfectly into place!

For this EP, I’ve partnered with EarthPercent and will be donating 50% of all sales profits to support environmental causes. I’m honored to collaborate with them and make my music part of a greater mission.

You can stream the full EP on your favorite platforms, or support further by purchasing it on Bandcamp (links below).
