Torso Live Session #2: Mike Sheridan

video upload by torso electronics

"Torso Electronics presents the second live session recorded at our office space in Copenhagen.

This episode features Mike Sheridan, unfolding a 14-minute meditative dronescape of slow, evolving resonance. Subtle layers of frequency drift and intertwine, forming a weightless sonic field that invites for deep attentive listening. Performed on the Pin Portabella MK IIIe, the Z.Vex Instant Lo-Fi Junky Vexter, the Boss GE-10, and the S4 Sculpting Sampler.

About Mike Sheridan
Mike Sheridan has been a part of the Copenhagen electronic music scene since the mid 00’s. He entered the scene, barely in his teens, with his landmark debut album I Syv Sind (In Two Minds, 2008). Sheridan traced an ambient and dreamy approach, and with limited tools at hand, he constructed a teenage masterwork that few could have predicted. Among the first in his generation, Mike Sheridan launched his career to high acclaim, effectively crossing over to mainstream audiences.

"We are focusing the Q&A around community-related questions and the reasoning behind design and firmware choices. We’ll also share a bit about what we’re working on at the moment. Last but not least, we will showcase small demos of our instruments and features, meanwhile :)"

S4: Track in 10 – Making a track using a sine wave

video upload by torso electronics

"An empty project and 10 minutes on the clock. In an uninterrupted one take we explore ideas, sculpt sounds, and let the S4 sculpting sampler guide the moment. "Track in 10" is about staying in the flow and creating without overthinking."

Teenage Engineering OP-XY and Torso Electronics S4

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"It’s been a few days since the new S4 firmware dropped, so I thought I’d give it another chance. Still needs the classic off-and-on ritual. Still forgets to record audio — which, you know, might be kind of a big deal for an instrument. Still, little things here and there.
But this isn’t a rant!
Just a gentle reminder that we’ve reached a strange point where we buy gear that could be amazing… but acts more like a moody teenager on one of their don’t-talk-to-me days.
That said, today — against all odds — I actually had fun.
So here’s the video: proof that even a problematic guy can have his minutes of glory."

"The USB input on the S-4 can used to plug in a microphone. In this example, a simple rendition of Debussy’s ‘The Little Shepherd’ transforms through granular processing and delay, evolving into something entirely new."

The S-4 shines as a coloring device

"The S-4 shines as a coloring device, adding distortion and compression to live performances. Here, the T-1 sequences the Mode Machines ADX-1, with outputs split into two S-4 channels, plus a third for parallel processing. Visit www.torsoelectronics.com for more"

S-4 Exploration: Transforming classic 'Pong' sounds into lush, evolving soundscapes

"S-4 Explorations: Transforming classic 'Pong' sounds into lush, evolving soundscapes 🏓 🌊
Track 1 plays the sounds from ‘Pong’, mangling it using granular processing with added reverb and delay. Tracks 2-4 are processed serially through the S-4’s internal send system, creating adaptive soundscapes that naturally interact and react to each other."
