"Music born in the silence of the forest. 🌲 In this video, I headed into the wild to record a live set on the Novation Circuit Tracks. Pure dawless: just the synth, inspiration, and the sounds of nature. No plugins or post-processing—just the raw sound captured on the Zoom H1 Essential. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere with me.

"I've just put out the second Tunary instrument, and it's the opposite animal: SILT, a generative tape-loop instrument.
Four short melodic loops of different lengths run through a warm tape machine and slowly drift out of phase, so the music writes itself from the drift — soft music-box tones, smeared by wow, dust and age, over field recordings of birds, stream and vinyl. Press play and it settles into gentle, ever-shifting ambient that never quite repeats. It's the Reich/Basinski tape-loop idea, turned into an instrument you just leave running.
Like everything we make, the sound engine is algorithmic — real synthesis and DSP, no AI, no trained models, no 'generate' button. You steer the mood; it does the drifting."
"Consonant Dissonance is a series of piano improvisations that examine how human expression in piano performance can be emphasized or contrasted by feeding the signals into a bespoke modular synthesizer designed to sample and reprocess the piano in real-time. For each piece the piano signals are handled in different ways. These include granular synthesis, looping, pitch shifting, reverse, analog filtering, delay, and reverberation, all modulated via a function generator, low frequency oscillators, and a sampling touch controller operated by the performer.
Recorded at The University of St Thomas, Schoenecker Center, Audio Studio on a Kawai RX-3 grand piano. Composed, performed, and produced by John C.S. Keston. Gratitude goes out to Alejandro Vega for engineering assistance, and Adam Krinsky for mixing and mastering consultation.
John C.S. Keston is an award winning transdisciplinary artist reimagining how music, video art, and computer science intersect. His work both questions and embraces his backgrounds in music technology, software development, and improvisation leading him toward unconventional compositions that convey a spirit of discovery and exploration through the use of graphic scores, chance and generative techniques, analog and digital synthesis, experimental sound design, signal processing, and acoustic piano. Performers are empowered to use their phonomnesis, or sonic imaginations, while contributing to his collaborative work. Keston founded the sound design resource, AudioCookbook.org, where you will find articles and documentation about his projects and research."

"It's been a while since we did a 'drop-in' video, but we bumped into our EMOM sound engineer Silas Blackburn who mentioned he'd moved to a new studio space in nearby Bristol - so we dropped by to the Bristol Old City Studio to check it out.
And found a beautiful old PolyMoog too, as well as a bunch of other delicious gear.
Hope you enjoy the tour.
"On March 26th we had Vermona in the showroom for a deep dive into one of the standout instruments of SUPERBOOTH25: drumDING.
Blending analog drum synthesis with sampling and sequencing, drumDING opens up a fluid, hands-on workflow where sounds can be created, captured, and reshaped on the fly. With features like parameter locks, polymetrics and performative controls, it’s built for spontaneous groove building and evolving rhythmic structures.
In this workshop, Thomas walks you through the concept, demonstrates the workflow, and shows how quickly ideas can turn into fully formed patterns."
"Quick demo of elements self feedback and the sound it can prodiuce
Thank you for watching. My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly 'dark and expérimental' music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with. You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/. If you'd like to support the channel consider buying music from bandcamp ;) Contact/booking: meskastatik@gmail.com"
"OP-Z
I tried to find perc samples that had no obvious FX, but no additional FX were added to any samples or synths in this performance.
Pretty dry, but that was the challenge. :-)
As it was a simple challenge, I finally had time to make something again after being too busy for my usual HWJ output for many weeks."

I just used for a couple of days, and I have to say that it is an amazing case. Well built, with a nice feeling, buttons with a transparent part to disperse the LED lights. Everything packed in a gorgeous design.
Extensive Collection of Schematics, Prototypes, and More Donated to the
Bob Moog Foundation Archives
The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce an extraordinary donation from inMusic Brands, the parent company of Moog Music. This collection of an astounding 4,489 items includes Bob Moog’s office effects from his final years at Moog Music, over 500 schematics and 700 letters spanning the 1970s through the early 2000s, and vintage synthesizers and prototype models, including a Fairlight CMI synthesizer and Minimoog Voyager bench-model prototype!
Vintage product catalogs from dozens of industry competitors and collaborators, drafted speeches and articles, letters of both a business and personal nature, and plenty of other surprises fill drawer after drawer of Bob's file cabinets. In one file folder, there might be something as everyday as a tax form or an employee review, and in the next, a poignant, handwritten letter from Wendy Carlos or Lydia Kavina! It took almost two years and many volunteers to assist the Bob Moog Foundation in accessioning these historical materials into the Bob Moog Foundation Archives.
Moogerfooger prototypes, a Multiple Resonant Filter (MuRF) test fixture, and a rare Moog Phone Controller model PC-30 are just a few more of the fascinating artifacts included, which altogether shine a fascinating light on some of Moog Music's legacy of engineering and innovation. There are far too many items in this collection to fully share here, but we created a blog post with a few more details and images. And of course, we hope to have a few of these rarities on display in the Moogseum!
Contributions like this, along with the ongoing support of our Members and other Donation sources, empower us to maintain our continually growing collection of over 15,000 historical pieces. Please consider making a donation today so that we can give this world-class archive the attention it deserves.
"This is 'The Holy Grail of Holy Grails' and I am so excited to offer this for sale on behalf of the second owner from new. This is an EMS Synthi Hi Fli, but the crazy thing about this is it's serial No. 1. This is THE first production Hi Fli ever built, produced immediately after the 10 prototype units, this is the very first production example to leave EMS. Even more remarkable, prototypes #9 and #10 remain in the hands of David Gilmour, placing this instrument directly in the lineage of those legendary examples. It was purchased many years ago from its original owner, this extraordinary survivor remains astonishingly complete, retaining its original pedals, manuals, factory schematic, original demo cassette, and accompanying original components—a level of completeness that is almost never seen. It's just undergone an incredible service by a leading UK tech, so it's quite literally ready to go! Museum-worthy. Investment-grade. Virtually impossible to replicate. This is one of them. What a privilege to offer it for sale. Please see the pictures below as they form part of my description. Grab a rarity!"
"LYRA-8 is based on eight generators, which will be referred to as voices. Their design is not like a traditional subtractive synthesis VCO. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependency on control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the use of the term 'voices' instead of 'VCOs'. Lyra uses non-linearity a lot, and the voices are constructed in such a way that allows for non-linearity to express itself."
"This was the flagship synth way back when, with beautiful pianos, strings, powerful sequencing, sampling and in a very nice blue tint, however it weighs a lot. Used on countless albums thoughout the 90's and early 2000's.

"I built an entire techno track using the Reliq hybrid control surface — sequencing CV, gates, and MIDI together. This is a quick preview before my full in-depth Reliq review drops, made for anyone who just wants to see what it can actually do in a real track.
In this short hardware jam, the Reliq's Breakout Module handles every CV and gate connection to my Eurorack rack, while its onboard LFOs and envelopes replace modules I'd normally need patched in separately — freeing up rack space while adding an extra oscillator's worth of movement. MIDI runs straight to the Dreadbox Artemis alongside it, all synced from the same sequencer. You'll hear polyrhythmic drum sequencing too — kick and closed hi-hat running full bars, snare on the backbeat at a different rate, and a 4-step open hi-hat loop sitting on the offbeats.
This is a fast, feature-packed look at the Reliq's matrix routing, CV/gate output, MIDI output, LFOs, and envelopes all working together in one musical piece — not a full walkthrough (that's coming soon), just proof of what one box can do.
What's covered:
Reliq Breakout Module: CV + gate patching into Eurorack Onboard LFOs and envelopes standing in for extra modules Simultaneous CV and MIDI sequencing (Eurorack + Dreadbox Artemis) Polyrhythmic step sequencing across multiple tracks Building a full techno track hardware-only, no DAW"
"Distinctive Blue is an original 80s-inspired synth-pop instrumental built around driving bass, bright digital textures, layered synths and the polished electronic sound of the mid-1980s.
The track was created using a mixture of vintage and new synthesizers, combining vintage-inspired sounds, rhythmic sequences, atmospheric pads and melodic synth lines.
For this video, I wanted to show the actual instruments behind the music coming alive as the arrangement develops — from the first synth parts through to the full final mix.
🎹 Written, performed and produced by Ian Dixon.
Let me know in the comments what Distinctive Blue reminds you of and which synth sound stands out most.
"Five new effects, deeper modulation, external sidechain control, clocked Stretch parameters, multiple themes, and more.
