A marriage of melody & chaos with the Meng Qi Wing Pinger // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 9, 2019 DivKidVideo

"The new Wing Pinger from Meng Qi had really caught my attention with seemingly random pentatonic melodies shifting through a great spring reverb (not part of the module) on the Meng Qi Instagram page. We check out the Wing Pinger as well as some custom and one builds of Lorre Double Knot controllers and Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax and Tetrax based synthesisers."

You can find a demo of one here.

"Din Datin Dudero Srine (i.e. the one with triangle wave oscillators) from Peter Blasser of Ciat-Lonbarde fame- an instrument so weird, it makes Plumbutter seem like Korg Minipops. If you want an instrument that will surprise you, the DDD is your huckleberry. Of course, it is a standalone instrument, but using the DDD to modulate a Sidrax was pretty tight. I can attempt to answer any questions you may have about this beast, but the word here is 'esoteric.'

Condition-wise, it's functionally perfect; I've tested all of the jacks and they all do something. Cosmetically, there are some imperfections in the finish, but it came direct from Peter like that. That's par for the course of Blasser's craftsmanship in my experience."

Yet Another Wondrous Machine By Ciat-Lonbarde, the Sidrax Organ 🐈

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"What could be better than some soft melodies for harsh times with another wondrous machine by Ciat-Lonbarde? Thanks so much for sending it over Patchpoint 🐈
In the background you are hearing a melody from Slate+Ash Landforms, which I also find highly inspiring these days. I hope you guys are doing well, sending you lots of good vibes 🐞⁠🐞"

Digital vs Analogue FM Synthesis (Norns + Sidrax Live)

"Getting my feet wet with the awesome orgnwrms script (by @andrewcs_ 🪱) for Monome Norns open-source sound computer and appreciating the contrast and interplay of the analog vs digital FM between the two instruments.

First session with Palmelund Ampel, Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax & Ciat-Lonbarde Deerhorn

video upload by NoctopolisMusic

"Just a minute of my first session with the Palmelund Ampel, a cv- and gate controller for banana synths which I think will breathe a lot of new life in my Ciat-Lonbarde setup. Just two of the modules used here, but it seems like a very musical thing. And a beauty, too! Studio beaver keeping things in order, obviously."

ASTROGENIC HALLUCINAUTING - late night noiz for late night fiends

video upload by thenoiztemple

"ASTROGENIC HALLUCINAUTING - late night noiz for late night fiends - for more noiz: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/as... website: http://manipulate.net This is a series of live noiz and video noiz performances.

This marks #365...a year's worth of somewhat nightly noiz rituals for the adept Psychonaut.
The noiz will continue as always but this is a small goal achieved.

Late Night Noiz For Late Night Fiends has become a ritual of live noiz performances that finds similarities or parallels in Buddhist Sand Mandalas.

Every noiz generator is patched together with an accompanying designed video synthesis that seems to represent what I am hearing. Then...after the session...everything is turned off...most if not all patches are not saved and any analog settings are lost in the ether.

All that remains is the two track and it's accompanying visual abstraction.

Anyhow...the soundscape continues...more noiz!

一念而就 / one take, not an end

Published on Feb 5, 2020 Meng Qi

"A moment seized without decoration, and a story to extend the moment.

Rotary Tetrax is based on Ciat-Lonbarde Tetrax. 360º potentiometers enable new gestures, patch bay layout accepts banana shorting bars. With built-in reverb.

Tetrax has Harmonic Locking behavior with audio at “FM Input”, which works great with unlimited single direction rotations. I’ve embedded a Teensy 3.6 for 2 channels of audio to voice 1/3, tuned 660Hz / 880Hz for this track, with symmetry control over variable shape triangle waveform.

If you want to mod your Tetrax / Sidrax for droning, the potentiometer mod schematic is here : https://www.instagram.com/p/B8L9cD5Hi6_/

Tone Science Module No​.​2 Elements and Particles (DiN​:​TS02)

"Tone Science sub-label, from DiN records, continues to explore the world of modular synth music.

DiN was initially set up in 1999 by well known UK synthesist Ian Boddy to bridge the gap between the analogue music of his heritage and the emerging digital possibilities of the future. This label has always forged its own independent path and to date has released 56 physical CD albums as well as 21 download only releases.

Even after being involved in music since the late 1970’s Boddy has continued to explore new sonic territories and in 2016 he released what was probably his most experimental album in “Tone Science” (DiN48). This album comprised five long, slowly evolving self playing compositions realised entirely on his vast arsenal of modular synthesisers. Boddy’s love of the analogue sound has been well documented not only through his own releases but many sound and sample libraries. These instruments all but disappeared in the 1990’s but recent years has seen an unprecedented growth in interest in this form of synthesiser with a proliferation of both module manufacturers and performers using these highly flexible and personal systems.

Thus, inspired by his “Tone Science” release, Boddy has set up this sub-label to feature artists and performers working in the field of modular synthesis. The first release “Module No.1 Structure and Forces” was released in March 2018 and has garnered a lot of critical acclaim. This second compilation “Module No.2 Elements and Particles”, like its predecessor, features nine artists from different musical backgrounds with the common thread being that all the tracks were composed entirely with a modular synth system.

The album opens and closes with the ambient soundscapes of two tracks by Todd Barton and
 r beny. Barton is a world renowned exponent of Buchla modular systems as well as the Music Easel employed on this track. Austin Cairns (aka r beny) has a penchant for lo-fi looped synth atmospheres which combined, in this case, with a field recording creates a haunting, evocative piece. The next three pieces by Bluetech, Parallel Worlds and Paul Nagle build up rhythmic and sequenced elements with a fascinating amount of detail that modular systems are so good at. They also all use various methods to produce a poly-rhythmic, fractal feel as patterns shift and change throughout their tracks. The middle of the album then sees a fascinating experimental ambient interlude by Dave Bessell (a member of the synth group Node) using waveguide physical modelling in the analogue domain. The second half of the album has a rawer, more gritty feel with Richard Quirk building up a crescendo of wonderful textures in his track “Radar Hill”. This is followed by Hainbach using the exotic Ciat-Lonbarde series of hand built instruments to produce, in his words, a piece of “pure electronic music”. Nathan Moody then brings proceedings to a climax with a gnarly, muscular track using a Buchla modular system before the blissful ending piece “Marine Layer” closes out the 60 minute sonic journey the listener has just travelled.

Boddy has curated both the artists and tracks on this album to flow in a musical way and not just be a collection of equipment heavy demos. Though fascinating and always cool to look at, it is important not to get lost in the gear for gear’s sake syndrome. Having said that this album features Eurorack, Serge, Buchla & Ciat-Lonbarde modular systems and the nine tracks show how varied and flexible these instruments can be.

“Tone Science Module No.2 Elements and Particles” continues the journey down the rabbit hole of possibilities and sound worlds inhabited by artists and musicians working in this ever fascinating and varied musical field.

5. Dave Bessell Overtone 6:37
Between two worlds, the technical and the theatre of the imagination, the apparently real and the obviously synthetic play hide and seek with your perception. Realised with an all analogue signal path, this is a study in waveguide physical modelling.

6. Richard Quirk Radar Hill 7:22
This track is taken from an ongoing collection of music based on abandoned radar stations. Created with an AJH Eurorack system along with a Voltage Multistage, Bark filter, Magneto delay, Radiomusic and a tube Echoplex.
richardquirkmusic.bandcamp.com

7. Hainbach Your Strange Glitter 5:02
Aiming for purity I focused entirely on the Ciat-Lonbarde Plumbutter, Sidrax and Cocoquantus. I wanted this piece to feel like “synthesizer music”, clear and shimmering, yet alien, not rooted in a real acoustic space.
hainbachmusik.com

8. Nathan Moody Prophet And Loss 5:02
This piece was created using a Buchla modular synthesizer (200 & 100 series modules) as a meditation on the false piety of tyrannical populists in the early 21st Century.
nathanmoody.bandcamp.com

9. r beny Marine Layer 7:02
Fog conjuring with Mutable Instruments Rings loops being processed by Orthogonal Devices ER-301, Mannequins Three Sisters, and Strymon Magneto.

Runaway Patterns | Gamelan Strips, Cocoquantus, Sidrax, Tape Loop

Published on Sep 23, 2018 HAINBACH

"Continuing my exploration of the Morfbeats Gamelan strips - inspired by Masayoshi Fujita's Against the Clock video for Fact. I put aluminum foil over the instrument, which resulted in a pleasant electric tingling resonance. As I am no percussionist, this piece took a number of takes to get right after composing it. The tape loop which is added in the first half was created using the Gamelan sound, processed in the Teenage Engineering OP1. Cocoquantus and Bastl Thyme create space."
