The Hope - Circuit3 & Vince Clarke

video upload by Circuit 3

Update: you can find an interview with Circuit3 and the collaboration on ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK here.

"With grateful thanks to artist Jackie Hudson Lalor for the production of this video and Kat Lalor for assistance with post-production.

The Hope is taken from the album 'Metanoia: Music From Therapy' available on CD & Vinyl from circuit3.bandcamp.com, available in Digital from mortalitytables.bandcamp.com

Circuit3, the retro-futurist project of Dublin-based Peter Fitzpatrick, steps away from his melodic synthpop background on Metanoia. The album moves into spacious, quietly expressive instrumentals. The sound is minimal and tactile, shaped by the classic late70s and early80s electronic vocabulary without being locked inside it.

Metanoia grew out of therapy and the slow process of letting difficult truths surface. Instead of singing those words, Fitzpatrick shaped them through analogue machines. The title refers to the deep shift that can follow self-reflection: a break, a reset, a way of living with more honesty.

A defining moment in the project was the opportunity to work with Vince Clarke, a longstanding influence on Fitzpatrick’s music. They created an eleven-minute piece titled ‘The Hope’, named after the bar near Farringdon, London where that first conversation between Fitzpatrick and Smith happened. The collaboration feels like a dialogue across time: the artist Fitzpatrick once was, the one he is now, and the one emerging through this process.

The album closes with ‘The Hope’. Across eleven minutes, it builds a melodic drone landscape that holds both hopelessness and hope at the same time. The piece suggests that neither feeling disappears; they sit beside each other, always present, always waiting to be recognised."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces ARCANE STRINGS

video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:



EDINBURGH, UK: readily representing its first ‘big’ release in over a year (when the temporarily out-of-circulation GLASS STRINGS was effectively re-released with a totally redesigned GUI and added features as the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s workhorse string library for a new era in more human-sounding music and scores, coinciding with rebranding itself with an aesthetic that truly realised company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began), The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of ARCANE STRINGS — taking the sampling rule book and ripping it up, ultimately resulting in a string library featuring amateur players in order to achieve an arcane, primitive, dislocated, microtonal, loose, and sometimes savage sound duly designed for media composers wanting to leave a truly characterful imprint on their next drama score, or, indeed, composers who want to gain extra devilish bite out of their existing string collections — as of August 14…

DUB PLEX | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"A subterranean Plexiphon patch.

Plus a visual score by Bruce Magill, realized sonically by Norman Freund!

More info about Norman's performance below:

SoundCloud: / landscape-graphic-score
BandCamp: https://normanfreund.bandcamp.com/tra...

Description:
Late 2025 Walker Farrell from MakeNoise started an international music challenge for musicians to participate in, submit your own Graphic Score, then at the draw of a hat, you would be assigned someone else's score to interpret and create music from. I am always interested in music challenges and the more off-beat the better.

Late December 2025 names were drawn at random, Walker constructed a collection of MakeNoise modular synthesis cards to generate random numbers to set who gets what score. I was allocated a topographical map from Bruce Magill that contained some text notes and penciled in graphics. Bruce had a musical concept in mind for this score but did say "Notes for this graphic score are only a suggestion. You can disregard them and interpret this score in any way you like, if you wish. ... Don't overthink." So I did have free reign to interpret the score as I wished, so I could let my imagination run wild. In my younger years I did a lot of wilderness hiking so was and still am, quite familiar with topographic maps, so for me this was the perfect score, something I could relate to and understood. As a side note, there is no right answer for interpreting a graphic score, so understanding is not an essential ingredient, however a vivid imagination is. It is a bit like laying on the grass and looking up at the clouds -- what do you see beyond back scattered light from suspended vapours in the sky.

Sounds from Superbooth 2026: Mordax Siren⁠

video upload by Perfect Circuit

Mordax at Perfect Circuit


"Siren from Mordax and Anonymous Developer is a multi-oscillator drone generator module that delivers complex and compelling tones in a compact package. Outfitted with finger-friendly faders and optimized for performance, Siren offers macro controls which simplify the task of wrangling its massive set of sound generators. Twenty-one oscillators and twenty-three LFOs provide a rich landscape of waves to mix and mangle. Adjust pitch, waveform shape, and amplitude via manual control or CV, and enjoy the evolving textures Siren creates.

Siren is built on a digital core which prioritizes responsiveness and immediacy in addressing its deep sound processing capabilities. Digital artifacts can be welcomed in with open arms at the far ends of Siren's parametric range, inviting sizzling timbral interventions from aliasing and quantization. CV modulation has similarly embraced its digital soul, with no filtering applied for immediate connection and response to incoming signals. Tonalities are organized in whole-number, just intonation ratios, with every voice tightly harmonized with its fundamental pitch, producing a lovely and resonant tonal structure which often diverges from the typical and equal-tempered. Whether you're adding texture and movement in the background of a patch or diving deep into a well of uncanny drone, Siren from Mordax is sure to call you nearer with every patching session.

Siren Features

Digital drone oscillator tuned in just intonation

21 VCOs and 23 LFOs provide an ultra-rich sound engine to manipulate

Streamlined macro controls optimized for intuitive performance

Waveforms not anti-aliased to embrace digital artifacts

CV inputs unfiltered for unique responsiveness and immediacy

Collaborative design with Anonymous Developer

MOON Passive Analog Drum/Synth

video upload by Landscape

"MOON ordering is open. Please visit https://www.landscape.fm/moon for lots of audio, a manual, and to order if you’d like. Moon is a *passive (*CV powered) analog 4 channel drum/synth. These examples get progressively more intense and then there’s the ending. Moon sounds different from the 8 channel Noon. New circuits, new liquidness, new sub-bass, new vocal tones, new filtering, new drones, new heaviness, but smaller with many blue knobs + input and cross-channel-modulation attenuation. When I use it I enjoy how it rhythmically breaths with the voltage. Thank you to ‪@MysticCircuits‬ for helping to make this happen! Special thanks to Erin vanZandt, Emily Brandt and Emily Poole for visual and ear support!"

Manifold Research Centre - Ubique

video upload by NOISEBUG

https://www.noisebug.net/products/man...

Ubique from Manifold Research Centre sets two distinct micro time modulation cores in a spiral dance, providing a feedback phase network of flanger and phaser for entangled explorations. At the left side, a BBD based flanger explores the timbral manipulation of short delay times, with time spans ranging from 5-250ms. At its opposite is a 10-stage transistor ladder phaser, creating shifting harmonic movements and self-oscillating at high settings. The flanger's output sums into the input of the phaser, which can then be sent back into the flanger using the central feedback slider, inviting an infinite loop of audio processing. When combined and carefully managed alongside the two effect-specific feedback controls, these three opportunities for nonlinear gain management unveil a vast sonic landscape. Here, metallic tones, full spectrum percussive punctuations, and harmonic screams of distorted delight await your inspired patching.

As for patching, Ubique provides plenty to be inspired by. Independent audio inputs and outputs allow for summing diverse signals within the temporal torrent, and create unique stereo effects with output signals tapped from distinct processing positions in the loop. Manual and CV controls on each core for frequency and resonance, with attenuverters for the frequency CV inputs, allow you to shift and mangle the feedback processing with external signals. The BBD's dry/wet control and a phase invert switch for the phaser provide even more ways to manage and manipulate Ubique, with each interaction inviting new avenues of sound design. Whether you're summoning spectral wails in an all-out maelstrom of feedback or deftly dialing-in daring effects with careful control, Manifold Research Centre's Ubique is an otherworldly examination of time scales beyond comprehension, sure to draw out dedicated sonic explorers to diverse musical ends.

Speak & Glitch GND 1T circuit bent synthesizer: The power of Manual Morph and Drift Buffer Scaling

video upload by GND-1

"The GND-1T is available directly from https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t

This video shows how to use two powerful tools on the Speak and Glitch GND-1T: manual patch morphing, and drift-buffer scaling. Combined they offer a powerful way to navigate the GND-1T's vast sonic landscape, and make creating unique new textures and patches very simple. There's a lot more that you can adjust in this process than I don't have time to show here, so see the manual for more information. But if you haven't used this combination so far with your GND-1T, I think you will be very happy to start doing so after watching this.

As usual, everything you hear in these demos is a direct stereo stream recorded from the GND-1T, without any external effects."
