The (Not) Obsolete Musician

video upload by Joseph McGinty

"Paula Barouh and Joe McGinty spent a Sunday morning at This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete in Ramsgate, UK, creating spontaneous compositions, utilizing Paula's amazing voice and an eclectic assortment of instruments in the museum's collection. These pieces will be edited down for a future release. The museum is open to the public on weekends, but you can also book private recording sessions. Special thanks to Sam and Johnny for tech assistance.

Barouh-McGinty


Playlist:

1. Barouh-McGinty: "Dry Love"

Barouh-McGinty is the international collaboration between Chilean singer Paula Barouh and NYC keyboardist Joe McGinty. "Dry Love" is their first release. The song was improvised at McGinty's vintage keyboard studio, Carousel Recording, in Brooklyn, NY, with further editing and overdubbing by McGinty. Video editing and effects by Gal @gelischile.
The loop is a combination of the "Glitchedelica" disc on the Panoptigon and the Sequential Tempest drum machine. Bass is the Moog Subsequent 37. Other instruments: Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Casio MT-400V, Mellotron M4000D, Therevox.
The duo met at McGinty's piano bar, Sid Gold's Request Room. Impressed by Barouh's singing and improvisational skills, McGinty invited her to his studio to create an extemporaneous composition. Though the percussion loop was prepared in advance, neither knew what the other was going to do until recording started. This song is the result of their second improvisation. The first, 'NYC Junkie' will be released soon.

2. Barouh–McGinty: NYC Junkie

The second release from Barouh–McGinty:NYC Junkie. Vocals: Paula Barouh
Keyboards, Production: Joe McGinty
Video edited by Paula Barouh and Dave Fasano.
Like their first release, NYC Junkie was improvised in Joe McGinty's studio in Brooklyn. Unlike their first release, there are no overdubs or edits. What you hear and see is what was created in the moment. Paula had no idea what the music would sound like, and McGinty had no idea where Paula would go vocally.
Instruments used: Quilter Labs Panoptigan 'Mod Rock' disc, Dave Smith/Oberheim OB-6, Moog Subsequent 37. Looper: Audio Damage Enso.

New Pete Townsend Synth Studio at the University of West London

This one is in via John L Rice via John Fisher.

via The University of West London where you'll find the full article.

"The Townshend Studio was unveiled on Thursday 10 October at the University’s Ealing site. The new studio arose from Pete Townshend looking for a home for his synthesisers, leaving a legacy for the next generation and a catalyst for creativity.

The collection includes some of the most influential instruments in the development of electronic music. It comprises 12 principal synthesisers including the ARP Model 2500 (1970), used on 'Quadrophenia', and the rare and sought-after Yamaha GX-1 (1975), one of only 10 made with a retail price of over 60,000 USD on release, plus many other instruments played by Townshend throughout his career.

'It’s my hope that the studio will be a creative space for learning, collaboration, experimentation and play, inspired by the musical and artistic legacy of Ealing, an area integral to the development of British music in the 1960s,' said Pete Townshend."

Fantasia for Buchla 200 Synthesizer: Recorded at EMS Elektronmusikstudion

video upload by Ebe Oke

Buchla & Halldorophone Improvisation at EMS Studio, Stockholm

video upload by Ebe Oke

"Recently I had an amazing time immersing myself in the world of modular synthesis at the renowned EMS studio in Stockholm, Sweden. 🇸🇪 Here is a short document of arranged improvisations on the mind-bending Buchla synthesizer and a stringed beast known as the Halldorophone. I’ll be returning to EMS later this year as a composer in residence.

The Buchla modular synth, born out of Don Buchla’s visionary mind in the 1960s, is a testament to pushing the boundaries of sound creation. Unlike traditional instruments, it ditches the conventional keyboard and focuses on generating entirely new sounds. The patching system offers an expansive range of tonal possibilities, while the metallic touchplates enable unique tunings of these sounds.

And let’s talk about the Halldorophone for a moment! This fascinating instrument, a brainchild of Halldór Úlfarsson, opens up a whole new realm of expressive possibilities. This instrument played similarly to a cello utilises a positive feedback loop as a key element in generating its sound. By amplifying and routing the vibrations of each string through the instrument’s internal speaker, one can manipulate the gain of each string in the feedback loop, resulting in wild and unpredictable surprises.

Thank you, EMS, for fostering a creative haven for research and discovery. I’m counting down the days until I’m back in the studio! 🧡"

Distortion for Buchla Modular Synthesizer (2024) - Mahakit Mahaniranon

video upload by Mahakit Mahaniranon

"'Distortion for Buchla Modular Synthesizer (2024)'

Composed by Mahakit Mahaniranon
Programed by Mahakit Mahaniranon
Mixed by Teerapong Siehabut (Rubicon)

Recorded at Elektronmusikstudion EMS, Stockholm, Sweden

It is a composition that the composer would like to present the distortions from various things around us. At the meanwhile it looks like the guitar effect called 'Distortion'. Hence, the piece is conveyed sounds from effects as a distortion.

Although all sounds come from the Buchla Modular Synthesizer, the concept was adapted from another Wind Orchestra composition created at the same time. The composer would like some certain parts of the sound to display the improvisation and the sound that moves around without any directions

Thank you 'Isariya Bamrungphet' for your support.

Cory Friesenhan & She Who Shall Not Be Named: vocal atmospheres (courtesy of Black Octopus Sound)

Special thanks to Daniel Liston Keller for the live video switching.

The idea for this piece came when Maks Histibe of Mask Movement (https://maskmovement.com/) in Kyiv, Ukraine contacted me. As part of the invasion of Ukraine, their power grid is often knocked offline, and he was looking to raise money for solar panels and batteries to keep his studio operating. To do this, he created a series of field recordings of the war and life during wartime in Ukraine, and crafted them into a virtual instrument called Swords to Ploughshares.

I gladly purchased it, and used it as the basis for this song, which flows from the realities of life during wartime to attempting to lead a normal, happy life…only for the war to intrude, and drag people back in. A version of this song will appear on my summer 2024 release: Finite Space (https://aliaszone.bandcamp.com/album/...."

Stanford CCRMA open house, day 1

video upload by SynthAddict

The above is a walkthrough of a Stanford CCRMA open house from Thursday the 16th by supporing member SynthAddict. Take a look at what he walks into when he enters the building. A Yamaha GS1 with working voice programmer. The GS1 was the first commercial FM synthesizer released in 1980, three years prior to the DX7. John Chowning, discoverer of FM synthesis performed that night. According to SynthAddict: "The Chowning curated show last night was very eye opening - so much cool electronic music even going back to the 60s and it was digital."


And below :) "Today I got a shot of the Yamaha power synth stack in the lobby, with the best baseball cap on top. 😀"
