Moog Music Polarizes its Synthesizers, Releases All White Instruments

"ASHEVILLE, NC – November 14, 2012 – Today Moog Music announced the limited edition release of an all white series of its classic analog instruments. Moog has polarized the color of their traditionally black steel and natural wood instruments to a solid white finish. Included in this limited edition white release are the Slim Phatty, Minimoog Voyager, and the Minimoog Voyager XL analog synthesizers. Moog has also included the entire line of Moogerfooger Analog Effects Modules in this all white release.

In addition to the polarized color, the Slim Phatty now ships with 100 new, artist-designed presets made specifically for this limited edition analog synth. The sound designers that crafted the new preset bank are Phil Hartnoll and Paul Hartnoll of Orbital, Production wiz Chad Hugo of N.E.R.D. and The Neptunes, and DJ/Sound Designer Dom Kane. The Slim Phattys optional wood sides, and optional rack ears are also now available in white.

The Minimoog Voyager and Minimoog Voyager XL have also been transitioned to an all white finish with reversed artwork. The pitch and mod wheel of the Minimoog Voyager XL has been upgraded to a white backlit design, which is a feature that was previously only available on the Minimoog Voyager.

Lastly, the Moogerfooger family of analog effects modules are also ghosts of their former selves. The MF-101 Lowpass FIlter, MF-102 Ring Modulator, MF-103 12 Stage Phaser, MF-104M Analog Delay, MF-105M MIDI MuRF, MF-107 Freq Box and the MF-108M Clusterflux have all been transitioned to white and are now a perfect match to the limited edition Minimoog Voyager, Voyager XL and Slim Phatty Analog Synthesizers.

Electronic Voyages: Early Moog Recordings 1964-1969 - Compilation LP Preview

Published on May 4, 2019 Waveshaper Media

Update: see the second embed further below.

"Available exclusively from our Bob Moog documentary Indiegogo campaign: https://igg.me/at/electronicvoyager

Electronic Voyages: Early Moog recordings 1964-1969
(Waveshaper Media - WSM-03 vinyl LP)

A1. Robert Arthur Moog - The Abominatron (1964)
A2. Herbert Deutsch - Jazz Images, A Worksong And Blues (1967)
A3. Joel Chadabe - Blues Mix (1966)

B3. Ruth White - The Clock (1969)
B4. Max Brand - Triptych (1969)
B5. Paul Earls - Monday Music (1968)

In support of their forthcoming Bob Moog documentary Electronic Voyager, Waveshaper Media have produced a compilation LP of Moog recordings from the 1960s. The first compilation of its kind, Electronic Voyages: Early Moog recordings 1964-1969 contains tracks by Robert Arthur Moog, Herbert Deutsch, Joel Chadabe, Lothar and the Hand People, Intersystems, Ruth White, Max Brand, and Paul Earls. All of these tracks, released here on vinyl in an edition of 1000 copies, have been scarcely heard and difficult to track down, with all but three of them previously unreleased on vinyl.

Bypassing the Moog synthesizer’s backseat appearance on key pop recordings by the likes of the Beatles, the Doors, and the Beach Boys, Electronic Voyages aims to highlight the diverse approach of 1960s musicians and composers who adopted the Moog as their primary instrument; these recordings all feature the Moog synthesizer front and centre. Beginning with an “audio letter” (The Abominatron) from Bob Moog to his musician-muse Herbert Deutsch, demonstrating some of the first Moog synthesizer prototype’s capabilities, Electronic Voyages veers from avant-garde and electronic soundscapes, to psychedelic madness and summer-of-love pop. In the 1960s, the Moog synthesizer was a new, groundbreaking instrument, and its use was completely uncharted territory. The pioneering use of the Moog on all of these recordings sounds fresh today - you can sense the wide-eyed exploratory delight unfolding, and the disparate results range from endearingly naive (Lothar and the Hand People, Paul Earls) to downright eerie (Ruth White, Intersystems).

The musicians and composers behind these Electronic Voyages may have been among the first to adopt Moog synthesizers, but the fact that they so readily found within them expressivity, heart, and a means to translate their wondrous sense of discovery, speaks far more to Bob Moog’s visionary invention and enduring legacy."

EXPERIMENTAL MULTI-EFFECTS

White Rabbit has REVERB and DELAY sound effects. Fall down a rabbit hole with deep sounding spatial effects. You can send your White Rabbit down different paths or take the ERROR door into other spaces. All effected by Y and the big X holding onto time.

White Rabbit is a collaboration between ERROR and TiNRS; connecting their physical and virtual spaces with crazy creativity in object and DSP.

The first switch sends the rabbit down to REVERB or DELAY holes – or sitting in the middle doing nothing.

The second switch choses Standard, Pingpong or Error DELAYS and Hall, Experimental or Error REVERBS.

DELAY

Standard –Shouting down the rabbit hole. X changes time to echo and Y the amount of feedback

Pingpong – Stereo hopping between channels. X determines the airtime of the bounce and Y keeps stacking the signal.

ERROR – Karplus-Strong algorithm plucking your signal. X is the length of the string and Y is the dampening. Set X all the way to the right and connect the output to the input to create a self-oscillating sound that you can control.

REVERB

Hall – Unexpected big space. X is the size and Y the brightness of the space.

Experimental – Cinematic shimmer. Y is pitch bending and X is the size of the space

ERROR – Like sticking your head in a metal bucket. X is the size of the bucket and Y is granular. Set X all the way to the right and connect the output to the input to create a self-oscillating sound that you can control.

The third knob is the Wet / Dry mix. To the left is dry and to the right is wet. Soaking White Rabbit.

All inputs and outputs are stereo.

Music for Hard Times [Episode 128]

Published on Mar 23, 2019 CatSynth TV

Anyone ID what's below the Buchla?

"We return to the Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco for a performance featuring Music For Hard Times - Paul Winstanley and Tom Nunn - plus special guest Thomas Dimuzio on modular and other synthesizers.

For more new and unusual music, please subscribe to this channel and visit www.catsynth.com
________________
Music For Hard Times is a duo with Paul Winstanley, electric bass with multiple effects pedals, and Tom Nunn, original experimental instruments such as space plates, electroacoustic percussion boards and various "skatch" instruments. MFHT has worked together since 2010 and has recorded over 200 sessions, from which nearly a dozen limited run/online CDs have been produced as well as a published CD, "City of Cardboard," and a vinyl record, "Giant Powder Dangerous." MFHT has performed in the Bay Area at venues including Center for New Music, The Makeout Room, [etc.]… In 2015, MFHT was invited to perform as part of the Sudden Sound Festival at the Krannert Art Center in Urbana, Illinois, as well as performing at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago. Paul’s sounds range from staccato noises to a vastness of sustained tones, using refined implements and highly developed techniques that, at times, defy recognition. Nunn’s space plates, skatchboxes, Lukie tubes and harmonic rods bring a truly unique sound universe to the group that variously blends with, complements and contrasts the “expanded” electric bass. "Music For Hard Times never hit the listener over the head in order to get their attention. They simply get down to the Zen of their other worldly duo exchanges, and, if one is inclined to go along, one will surely find much intrigue." - Mark Pino

Paul Winstanley is an improvising electric bass player from New Zealand who specializes in extended techniques for that instrument. In addition to trying to make his bass sound like electronics he is interested in making electronic music that sounds like natural environments. He has several solo projects including Sci Hi (electronic feedback), Speed Cook (music from sound samples and non-musical sounds) and The Complete Recordings (artificial simulations of field recordings). Paul lived in Auckland, New Zealand for 10 years where he was part of the growing local and national experimental/improvising music scene, playing in groups w/luminaries like instrument inventor Phil Dadson, percussionist John Bell, radical concert brass band The NZ Dominion Centenary Concert Band, folk icon Fats White, abstract electronic supergroup Plains and improvising electronic trio Audible 3.

Tom Nunn has designed, built and performed with original musical instruments since 1976, having received a B.Mus. and M.A. in music composition from the University of Texas at Austin and S.U.N.Y. Stony Brook, and post-graduate work at U.C. San Diego. His instruments typically utilize commonly available materials, are sculptural in appearance, utilize contact microphones for amplification, and are designed specifically for improvisation with elements of ambiguity, unpredictability and nonlinearity. Tom has designed and built well over 300 instruments, representing three basic types: space plates, electroacoustic percussion boards, and skatchboxes. Nunn’s work with experimental instruments since 1975 is thoroughly reviewed in Sudhanshu G. Tewari’s doctoral dissertation, “Confluence: Tom Nunn’s Sculptured Musical Instruments for Improvisation,” University of California Santa Cruz, Dec. 2017.

Thomas Dimuzio is one of unsung artistic figures whose influence and abilities have substantially outstripped his visibility. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, sound designer, experimental electronic musician and recording studio owner, Dimuzio has been busy doing his thing(s) since the late 1980s with critically acclaimed releases issued by the legendary house of audio misanthropy, RRRecords and former Henry Cow drummer (and current Dimuzio collaborator) Chris Cutler’s well-regarded ReR Megacorp label. Equally fluent in a nearly every contemporary post-techno style, Dimuzio’s work clearly demonstrates an insider’s knowledge of older experimental musical forms such as musique concréte and electroacoustic, as well as contemporary ambient-industrial and noise. Thomas Dimuzio has performed and recorded as a solo artist and collaboratively with Fred Frith, David Lee Myers, Dan Burke, Due Process, 5UU'S, Matmos, Wobbly, and many others."

Colours mix accordingly and when they all come together in white-light, you have white-noise.

Randy George, theremin with Gaudete Brass - Maurice Ravel: Trois beaux oiseaux du paradis

YouTube via ooo6 | October 18, 2010

"Trois beaux oiseaux du paradis by Maurice Ravel - performed by thereminist, Randy George and the Gaudete Brass Quintet. download video in High Definition at: http://bit.ly/GBQRGM

Arrangement for brass quintet and voice by Paul Von Hoff. Video produced by Randy George. Recorded on September 2, 2010 in Long Beach, CA.

The theremin was invented in 1919, about five years after Ravel composed this work.

Visit Randy George theremin website at:
http://randygeorgemusic.com

Visit Gaudete Brass Quintet website at:
http://gaudetebrass.com

- Program Notes -

The beautiful work of Maurice Ravel is the second of his Trois Chansons for unaccompanied choir.

The music tells of a conversation between a woman and three beautiful birds from paradise, one blue, one white, and one red. The woman's beloved has gone off to war and she is asking the birds for news. The blue and white birds relay a gaze and a kiss respectively. The woman now queries the red bird and the red bird tell her of her beloved's death.

In this edition; the woman is the voice of the theremin, the blue bird is the trombone, the white bird is the second flugelhorn and the red bird is the tuba.

English Translation of the original French text:

Three beautiful birds of paradise,
(My beloved is away at war)
Three beautiful birds of paradise
Have passed by here,
The first was bluer than the sky,
(My beloved is away at war)
The second was the color of snow,
The third of reddest red.

"Lovely lottle birds of paradise,
(My beloved is away at war)
Lovely little birds of paradise,
What brings you here?"
"I bring a look from blue eyes,
(Your beloved is away at war)"
"And I, on your snow-white brow,
Am to lay a kiss, even purer."

Red bird of paradise,
(My beloved is away at war)
Red bird of paradise,
What do you bring?"
"A dear heart all crimson,
(Your beloved is away at war)"...
"Oh! I feel my heart growing cold...
Take it with you."

Gaudete Brass Quintet

Oberheim DMX 8-Voice Drum Machine Signed by Tom Oberheim SN B44706

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this listing

Pics of the inside below.

"This DMX was upgraded by Paul White of Electrongate. He used to work at Oberheim back when DMX’s were being made, and he installed the MIDI in and out, which is based on the original design, and he changed the memory from the battery-backup to a longer lasting flash memory. A couple of buttons double trigger, and this can be addressed by just cleaning the contacts using Paul’s method, which could be found on his website. Aside from that, there’s a small mark on a wood corner and the front left edge has a small area where the paint is missing. Other than that, it is in fine shape. I have tried my best to show any imperfections in the photos. If you need more details, let me know. Even the original screen works perfectly.

Tom personally signed the DMX for my brother a few years ago, and it has been so important to them to keep it. There is also no known record of any other DMX having been signed by Tom himself. Like I said, my brother just got all they could out of it, and it would be best for it to go to someone who can keep it in good shape and enjoy it.

Since my brother produced a lot of work for clients with it, all patterns, songs, and sequences will be deleted, except for a couple that they’re leaving on to allow the next owner to understand how it works and to practice. The rest of the memories are blank and available for your own work, of course."

The upgraded DX is a powerhouse. So damn punchy, and the tuning pots on the back are a blast -- such a variety of flavors (Prince liked'm tuned looooooow). Buttons work great. Sliders are smooth. Includes Paul's beautiful handmade walnut sides. Absolutely ready to go."

"Oberheim OBXa made in 1981. Where to start? First she's had her keybed restored with super low action. It almost feels like you're playing a toy, I'm dead serious. Is just that light of a touch now. No more "click click." Next I've added midi to her from electrongate.com which is the business of Paul White who worked at Oberheim all those years. The midi is the exact replica of the factory midi from the early days of Oberheim. Next I've added the MRam card which eliminates the need for a battery PLUS you can store an unlimited amount of programs if you can find it LoL. Of course all these upgrades are not permanent so you can go back to original if you wanted too. Lastly she got some brand new sides, awesome black walnut. Just look at that wood grain!
