"Sylphyo (PhysMod) wind controller and RC-505

very rough, one pass due to time constraints :-)

at least one sound here is a bit like an alarm sound, YMMV"

HWJ Weekend Challenge- Day of the Dead (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

A variation on the HWJ brief - musical journey through one's life. An odd musical medley of warped music from childhood, a dark variation on the school band, a rock band motif, and a synthy phase - ending in some pipe organ bits signaling the end of life."

Soma Labs Lyra-8 & friends, etc.

HWJ Weekend Challenge - Flamencophile (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

I have always liked Flamenco music, and I'm a shit guitar player, so this is the first time I'm chopping up a few D min guitar loops for a project.

I also added a bunch of guitar perc. and body sounds (claps, snaps, knee slaps, stomps) as is customary for the style.

I ran out of time to finish but enjoy the WIP. :-)"

As requested, some hellish pads and heavenly drums... sort of. :-)"

HWJ Weekend Challenge - SummerFall (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

Quick and dirty unfinished jam involving elements loosely based on melodies from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons: Summer and Autumn.

A fun experiment. Wish I had time to finish it before the deadline."

HWJ Weekend Challenge - Android Sheep (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

Quick unfinished jam very loosely based on a Blade Runner soundtrack deep cut. :-)

Been a while since I did a HWJ, too much drama lately with gear thieves about. :-(
If the thieves are still watching, you know how urgently you can fuck off and die - lazy, no good motherfuckers. :-)"

HWJ Weekend Challenge - 2 boxes from scratch (ran long)

"Osmose and RC-505

Very quick and dirty, and I also got carried away - over 5 min for sure. :-P
Just fade me out when you like..."

HWJ Fest 3 2024 - SynthAddict's set

video upload by SynthAddict

"Eurocrack modular mix and KeyStep Pro

Finally got my set together for HWJ Fest 3 2024, playing with many other sets this weekend, starting on Fri 8/9 .

It's a big modular thing with a few parts - some of it is manually synced and triggered/played live so there are many live glitches and errors. Enjoy..."

HWJ Weekend Challenge - Umeda Sky Bldg. in Osaka, Japan

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

I stayed next door to this bldg. on a business trip in Osaka once. It always reminded me of Blade Runner, but here I decided to do a percussive Japanese scale theme thingy. :-)

This was a crazy heavy sound set, both in sources and CPU usage. Watch my CPU percentage peg several times to a blinking circle - always a harrowing time while live performing since it can lock up. :-P"

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - From Scratch (again)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Osmose and RC-505

Just picked the patches and sorta came up with some vague stuff in my head as I auditioned the patches - then I performed. :-) YMMV"

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - MazeRunner (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

Synthwavey jam as you meander through a maze. Some pleasant and contrasting elements overlap to give a sense of unease while going through the maze.
Notice the center, right, and left whooshes as you pass gaps and corners going diff directions.
Unfinished but there it is..."

Ghirardelli MATRIXSYNTH

Custom MATRIXSYNTH cap in front of Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco in via SynthAddict.

Taken "after heading to Ghirardelli Square in SF for a nice ‘end of the day’ hot fudge sundae.

You can see the sunset on the left, coming from the direction of the GG Bridge. 😀🍨🌉"

Cheers to that. :)

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Wrong Patch (WIP)

"Maschine+ (of course)

Unfinished, but ran out of time so I had to upload... busy weekend. :-P

Starts out normally then goes into wacky circus animal and noise territory, then brings you back to keep your sanity. :-)"
