This one is in via Justin3am who had the following to say:

"I cleaned out a storage space in Woodland Hills for Rob Ramply, who formerly worked at Alesis. There happened to be a book of Axel Hartmann's early concept drawings of the Andromeda, so I scanned them."

"A little preview of a new live set. DON"T LISTEN IN HEADPHONES. lol
Still need to get the levels right but dirty and lofi are the primary goals.
This is gonna sound so cool through some big ass speakers though!"

3am - the rest should be obvious

"Lots to like in this video. Cat cameos, out-of-focus objects from my yard and of course synthesizers. Even some guitar, if that's your thing. I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

Featuring Serge, Buchla and Eurorack modular synthesizers, a Cocoquantus2, Elektron Octatrack, Analog Four, a bunch of effects and all recorded/edited/mixed in Bitwig Studio."

Serge demo 20240108

video upload by justin3am

"I did a demonstration with my Serge+friends modular for the LA Synth Club on Monday, January 8 2024. Unfortunately, the multitrack audio didn't record correctly and the audio the camera captured was bad. Also the camera cut out after like ten minutes. :facepalm:
C'est la vie. I'm just glad we had a nice turnout."

"I colored outside the lines a bit on this one. Clipping, messy.
Some weird acid vibes but mostly just weird.
I got this old Boss mixer with banana jacks for $5. Still figuring out gain staging, lol. Interesting flaws, but I think it works well for this kind of thing."

Patching@3am: Hard Sync with DUSG? Kinda...

"The first video in what I hope will be a series.
In this installment I explore using the Serge DUSG and NCOM as audio rate oscillators, processing them with the Ring Modulator and VCFQ."

3am - the other side looks worse

video upload by justin3am

"Some abrasive sounds recorded from the rig I'm bringing to the May1st LA Synth Club meet up.
Soma Pulsar-23 and Lorre-Mill Keyed Mosstone are processed and modulated by
Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2. All sequenced by Soma Ornament-8."

"My first recording with these Buchla clone modules from Portabellabz and Samodular. Just an absolutely incredible instrument. It feels alive!
I occasionally kick in distortion via EHX Overlord. A small amount of post processing and Fostex 3180 on the reverb send."
