Aarhus with Kusama

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Inspired by the immersive logic of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, this work transforms Aarhus into a living field of light and sound. A real urban dataset is remapped into a 1-meter volumetric grid of dots, turning streets, facades, and terrain into a shimmering, porous city body.

Viewers enter a synchronized walk: wherever you join from, the system places everyone at the same point in the loop at the same moment in time. The city is shared, but the experience is personal. Dot groups pulse in slow, shifting color relations, and no two listeners hear identical spatial balance.
At irregular intervals, simulated litter-like impacts strike the environment. Instead of decay, each collision produces resonance: expanding waves through the dot matrix and bell-like modal tones tuned to a constrained scale with slight detune. Impacts can ricochet across surfaces, and terrain now influences bounce direction, coupling topography to rhythm.

Built with public geospatial data, procedural animation, modal synthesis, and iterative AI-assisted development, the piece sits between urban memory, ecological friction, and collective choreography: a walkable score where city form becomes light, time, and vibration.

entropy encoder - a low bitrate mp3 emulator - 1st Preview - Moog Muse - Clair de Lune

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Debussy’s Clair de Lune… played on a Moog Muse… then politely fed into Entropy Encoder (unusable.ai) until it started hallucinating.

This is a pre-release preview with automation-heavy settings and sequenced randomization firing at different musical divisions, so the “codec decay” breathes and glitches in time. Expect swish, birdies, smear, framey wobble, and the occasional moment where reality briefly loses its license.

Novation Summit Binaural Patch Demos (Hard-Panned Bitimbral) | Dry vs FX | Headphones

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Follow-up to yesterday’s binaural Summit deep dive. No talking, no tutorial, just patches.

This is 9:50 of binaural-style patches on the Novation Summit, built using bitimbral mode with the two parts hard panned left and right. Each patch is demoed twice: dry first, then with Summit’s internal FX.

Why Summit works well for this: the digital NCOs can be kept phase-stable and pitch-stable, so you can control the exact differences between the left and right layers without slow drift turning the whole thing into randomness.

Headphones strongly recommended. The stereo perception is the whole point.

What you’ll hear

Binaural patches designed around controlled L/R differences

Binaural Synthesis on Novation Summit: Bitimbral Hard-Pan Patches + Build From Scratch

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This video is an experiment in binaural-style synthesis on the Novation Summit, using bitimbral mode with each part hard panned left and right.

I start by demoing a handful of binaural patches, then do a real-time build in the middle where I patch a binaural setup from scratch, explaining the decisions as I go. It ends with more patch demos once the core idea is in place.

The trigger for this was the ongoing discussion around the UDO range and how it approaches binaural by design. I realized you can push a similar concept much further on other synths if you’re willing to build it deliberately.

Why the Summit for this? The digital NCOs can be set up so both layers stay phase-aligned and pitch-stable, which makes it possible to control every intentional difference between left and right without the whole thing drifting into 'close enough.'

Headphones recommended. The effect is the point."

Monomachine sequence through DIY gong speaker

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This was an experiment I made. A few years back I made a DIY gong speaker and amp - using a cheap gong gong, a salvaged akai reel to reel case and a class D amplifier. I wanted to play around with it this week - so I brought it out of storage together with an Elektron Monomachine. I made a simple 4 bar pattern based mainly on me liking the sound produced. I shared an image of the setup on the swedish 99musik forum - and was asked for a sound sample. Here it is. The dry output can be heard at the end."

Exploring OXI ONE: Lazy Ambient Jam w. Moog Messenger, Vermona Perfourmer, Prophet 12 & Eventide

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"'Sunday Excursion' is a relaxed ambient jam built entirely around two sequences from the OXI ONE.
No composition. No arrangement. Just hands-on exploration and letting the hardware talk.

🔁 SEQUENCING

The OXI ONE runs two independent sequences:

Sequence 1 – Rhythm / Pulse
– Matriceal mode for controlled randomness
– Drives a Moog Messenger mono synth
– Acts as the rhythmic backbone of the piece

Signal chain:
Moog Messenger → Klark Teknik KT76 → Korg DL8000R → TC Electronic Fireworx

Sequence 2 – Melody / Texture
– Linear mono mode with probability-based notes
– Drives a Vermona Perfourmer in round-robin poly mode
– Each voice slightly different for subtle movement and width

FX:
Vermona Perfourmer → Eventide Eclipse

🎹 LIVE PLAYING

On top of the sequences, chords and textures are played live on a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12.
The patch is a slow, restrained pad with a simple overtone structure.

FX:
Prophet 12 → Eventide H9 (Blackhole)

This is not a 'track.'
It’s a documented session exploring how the OXI ONE interacts with a few quirky synths and late-90s / early-2000s rack FX.

If you’re into hardware sequencing, probability, and letting small variations do the work, you’ll probably find something useful here."

Sleepy Ambient with Prophet 12, Moog Muse, Pro 2 and Eurorack Modular

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"This is a live session with some of my favourite synthesisers at the moment. The slow noise is a noise generator into Frap Tools Fumana filterbank, modulated by a Pam's Pro Workout and effected by Empress Euroburo Zoia and Strymon Starlab. The rhythmic noise is a sequenced patch on the Sequential Pro 2 through a Boss SL20 slicer. The Moog Muse is playing a slow pattern arpeggio through an Eventide Modfactor and on top of that I play the Prophet 12 through an Eventide H9 (blackhole algoritm).

This is an unedited take on what I usually do in my studio to relax. Usually it is never recorded. But as it is friday, and a new year has started, let's just do it a bit different, ey?

Outside we have more snow than I ever experienced here in Denmark, so the music kind of reflects that cold but cosy mood.

I hope you enjoy it."

Emotional Waste - ambient electronica - Vermona Perfourmer, Moog Muse, Polybrute12, Summit & Piano

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"I was connecting stuff in my temporary home office studio setup yesterday and had brought out my Vermona Perfourmer (mk1) from storage. So while setting it up I recorded a simple 4 bar thing as midi and let it drive the Perfourmer synthesizer. I had it running for a few hours while I was connecting midi and audio for the other synths I have in the home office and I never got bored of it. So today I decided to quickly add some piano and other synths to it to see if I could make it into something more... I dunno if the last part was succesful though, but at least I got it documented...

The main synth is the Vermona Perfourmer playing a chord structure thing. The second synth that appears is a lead from the Expressive E Osmose followed by a bass from the Novation Summit and another soft lead from the Moog Muse. Then a chord with some morphee filtering from the Arturia Polybrute 12 before the Piano comes in. (Just another piano improvisation more or less). At the end I start to mess up the Vermona thing and I also added a Drummer track in Apple Logic Pro."

Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer

video uploads by copenhagennoiselab

Playlist:

1. Novation Summit - 2 noisy emotional synthesizer patches

A short showoff of two nice patches I made for the Novation Summit Synthesizer showing a different kind of sounds that can be created with this versatile synth. Enjoy it.

2. Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer - how I work with it and makes the most out of it!

"This is a programming session on my Novation Summit synthesizer - showing some tricks and how you can work with lots of modulation and get some noisy and dirty sounds out of the Summit. It is not necessarily the most common type of sounds from this synth. But it has some clever mod matrix setups that can be used.

The sound was recorded straight from the Novation Summit output to a Zoom H6 recorder, also recording the talk... No external processing.

My hope is that this video can give some insight into different ways of working with this synthesizer."

Custom Patches for Novation Summit synthesizer - Dirty & noisy pads and soundscapes - No talking!

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Playing through 38 presets I have made for my Novation Summit... I bought the Summit after a few years with the Novation Peak. And while I have kept the Peak, I hav not used it since. All in all, this used to be my favorite synthesizer. It can be clean, and it can be nasty and everything in between. It is quick to work with, and it has that snappy character if needed.

The best thing about it is likely that it plays well in a context with other instruments - I usually turn it on as a drone or an arpeggio playing while playing piano. It works great. I feel like Nils Frahm or Hania Rani instantly... ;)

Anyway. The Arpeggiator on this thing is the best I ever used...

If you are interesting in getting the patches, please let me know, and we can likely work something out.

If you want some custom written soundtracks, get hold of me.

Anyway. If you like the sounds, please click like and subscribe or leave a comment. It means a lot to me. :)

There is no external processing going on, so the only FX you hear is the diffusion delay that is built in.

Orgon Enigiser test

YouTube Uploaded by copenhagennoiselab on Mar 28, 2011

"Testing out an Orgon Systems Enigiser. This synth is an analog 1 osc synthesizer with quite extensive routing capabilities and many filtertypes. The sequencing is done with a Acidlab Bassline2. No effects at all, the overdrive is internal, just straight into the computer. I recorded this little clip as there is almost no videos of it online.

I don't own this synth. I have only acted as a courier and got to play with it before I sent it to the buyer. So no questions about the machine, please.

My music can however be heard at:

Rhythmite Alpha Test

YouTube via copenhagennoiselab | December 21, 2010 |

"Testing an early alpha of the 8 track sequencer Rhythmite for the Snyderphonics Manta. Lots of bugs to get rid off, but it is moving along great."

Manta - First Session

YouTube via copenhagennoiselab | November 11, 2010

"First thing I did with my new Snyderphonics Manta. Using a standard midi-patch in MAX/MSP to control the Nord Modular G2. The sound is just a pad with some extended control for the manta."

Manta - First Session v2

copenhagennoiselab | November 11, 2010

"In this video I just route CCs from the hexagons to the Nord Modular G2. I control FX for rhythms on the top row and toggles Delay/Reverb too. On the very left I use CCs to control pitch and amplitude of 4 oscillators. On the other buttons I just control amlitude of 36 different tuned Sinus oscillators. The second and forth row from the bottom is just detuned oscillators of the ones controlled in the row below."

Fejld - Music for Droning (Test of an ambient patch for live playing)

YouTube via copenhagennoiselab | October 08, 2010

"Each vertical column of buttons on the Monome is sending a midi-CC, increasing from the bottom to the top. On this patch they control the amplitude of a sine-wave-oscillator pair on a Nord Modular G2. I have 6 of these pairs setup for the six columns on the left. The last two columns control reverb-time and base-pitch. I'm using 64faders on Monome.
