"Apple iPhone/Roland TR808 Rhythm Composer combination. Possibly the world's coolest drum machine."

Anyone know more about this? Just an image or any functionality?

via Synthtopia who are wondering as well.

kokiriko bushi

YouTube via fareastrecording. I saw this one posted on The Stretta Procedure (check out some of the other vids there as well). Not sure what is actually used in this one but it is definitely chip music - C64, Nintendo, etc.

EVI Serge by vgermuse

YouTube via matrixsynth. Sent my way via Todd Barton, aka vgermuse.
"The EVI 2000 analog synth module of the EVI 1000 is producing long sustained sine tones which are now and then sent through a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator. The EVI is triggering a patch in the Serge that is creating random pitches and drastic timbral shifts. Hope you enjoy."

Update: New video is up here.

Battling Seizure Robots via Richard Lainhart

"Friends: just in time for the holidays, here's a new live performance video for your viewing pleasure. This time, I'm jamming with Moldover at Tranzducer .011 on November 30 (2007). I play my Buchla 200e/Haken Continuum system, while Moldover works out on his controllerism rig. This is a completely spontaneous, unrehearsed, undiscussed improvisation, and the first time we've ever played together; while it's camera-audio only and so not the best quality, I think it's worth checking out. The complementary video improvisation was provided by Bert Baldwin.

("Battling Seizure Robots" is the name of one of the video animations I created for this performance, which, perhaps fortunately, you don't see in this clip.)

To see the clip, go to http://www.otownmedia.com and click on the link at the top of the page to go to the Performance page, then click on the Battling Seizure Robots link under Tranzducer .011.

Happy Holidays!"

"I was asked to participate in the show about a year ago. I have been long time friends with Peter Grenader from Plan B modular (Ear Acoustic). He had been playing around with the idea of doing a show with artists and friends he admired. I have always loved Peter's work. His music and the piece "The Secret Life of Semiconductors" he played is one of my favorite analogue pieces to date. I was very excited at working with Peter and doing a show with him. It turned out to be a complete success and I was extremely happy to meet the other artists like Alessandro Cortini, and Chas Smith who I have been a long time fan for many years. It was a very interesting to see how everyone approached using these new and old machines to make compositional works. I unfortunately couldn't bring out my modular stuff, as I have strict weight lifting restrictions from only having my surgery months ago. So I had to play on my computers which I know many people might have frowned on me for, but it was the only way I could participate in the show. I was just happy to be there and experience the show."
