MIDERA | The settling madness

MIDERA

"What else can be said about a day in which a madman urged insurgents to storm a capital using only repeated lies? Is it the agonal breath of a dying regime or the festering wound that leads to ultimate demise? History will tell us. For now, all we know is that madness betook us."

"New from @Behringer! A Dollar Store version of Arturia's Beatstep."

And no, it's not offically called the ASSHOLE, but rather the SWING.

DONALDCRUNK live 07/25/20 @ MOTS Seattle (Dynamic Eurorack Ambient)

donaldjasoncrunk

"My live performance from the 07/25/20 Modular on the Spot Seattle live stream on twitch.tv/modularseattle. Performing from my back deck due to the COVID-19 pandemic - can't wait to play again in person!!

This patch is pretty straightforward - melodies are a combo of SH Mk II + Mutable Marbles, which is used to transpose things around. Kick / bass is Plaits (of course). Of special note is the WORNG Electronics SoundStage, which I'm using to duck the pads/melodies and really tie the mix together. Great module."

Madrona Labs Giving 100% to the Black Youth Project

via Madrona Labs

'Hello, friends.

It's tough times. We hope you and your families are in good health. We know you know what's going on, and you have probably heard a lot of takes on it from a lot of companies so we're going to keep this to the point.

Just over a week ago, Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, the latest in a long history of unjust Black deaths at the hands of law enforcement. Since then, the outcry has been ringing out in protests all across our country. The violent suppression of these protests by police has resulted in more injuries and deaths. We stand in solidarity with the protesters and with the Black community.


How can a music software company contribute positively and constructively in this moment? For us, the answer is: by sending funds to those doing front line work. We're writing to ask for your support.

The Black Youth Project is an organization that both provides emergency funds to Black community members in need, and invests long-term in the future of Black leadership. They have chapters in many U.S. cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, DC and Detroit. From their website: "Our work is generally centered on ending systems of anti-Blackness and emphasizing the urgency of protecting folks living on the margins of the margins, including women, girls, femmes, and the gamut of LGBTQ folk." To find out more, please visit https://www.byp100.org/about.

From now until the end of Friday, June 5 (Pacific Time) we'll be donating 100% of our sales to BYP100. As a family business, our pockets are not deep enough for an impressive direct donation right now, but this way we can leverage the software we've made to direct some funds where they are sorely needed. We hope you'll help.

We and some folks we know have been contributing individually to community bail funds around the country and that is another way to help right now. If you are interested in contributing to these efforts, here’s a link to donate to many community bail funds at one time: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd

There will be a time soon to get back to music, which is more important to us than ever as a force for change, as meaning and community and connection. But this week is not that time. If it were not for the inspiration of great Black music, Madrona Labs would not exist. We owe the Black community our help.

with all best wishes,
Randy Jones
Madrona Labs"

AdamJay - The System Has Failed Us - Live Techno

Published on Mar 18, 2020 Adam Jay

"A statement of frustration with our current global predicament, how our leaders have failed us, and how we must work together to overcome the reckless choices made by those who have abused their power.
I could not sleep last night and had to get this out of my system.

Equipment used:
Elektron Model:Samples , running just three different 556 byte single cycle waveforms from Digitone and Analog Four, used across all 6 tracks. Heavy LFO modulation to synthesize the kick and bass (DN) sounds, and hat (A4), all in the M:S.
Special thanks to Taro for those free single cycle waveforms.
Was a fun experiment in pushing such minimal material to the limits.
M:S output hits an Alesis Micro Limiter and some light Octatrack FX (EQ/Comp) as well. MF Twister just controlling OT bass equalizer."

"Putin’s nuclear briefcase looks like a retro 80s analogue music device (Roland sequencer).

Now I’m imagining the nightmare scenario of Vlad reaching for his vintage synths and accidentally unleashing the wrong sort of techno banger."

Scary stuff...
