Monome 40h

images via this auction

"So this is a Monome 40h kit I just built. It's one of the latest 100 series that was brought by the monome people (november 2007). I just used it a couple of hours. Aluminum faceplate (Schaeffer) and custom wood case. This is hand made DIY so not perfect, but check the picture to see how it looks. In great condition, except for a minor cuff on the faceplate (see last pic).
Fully working of course."

Matris Terra Ultionis

If you have been following this site over the past couple of months you should be familiar with the work of Richard Lainhart and Todd Barton (vgermuse). You will recall the Buchla 200e compositions from Richard posted here and the Akai EVI compositions from Todd posted here. You might also recall daddio of Tapewarm from these posts.

After hearing the brilliant compositions by Richard and Todd, Daddio contacted them about creating a new composition featuring theirs. They gave him the ok and Matris Terra Ultionis is the result. You can listen it here.

part one features:
metaliton, buchla2Crop, eviExtended, and buchlaStormBirds.
mixed with my WarStorm samples and an old waterphone recording

part two:
Thonk and SlowEvolution
w/more WarStorm samples and Launch

part three:
Orchestra of the Damned, SpaceMetal, buchlaDemo2, buchlaDrumSolo, eviSerge and eviSerge2
yet more from Warstorm (lol) and my My Hydrogen Gas Tank

Regarding the sources of the compositions:
"Thonk and Orchestra of the Damned are from Richard.
200e/Haken continuum

WarStorm, Launch and My Hydrogen Gas Tank are my compositions.
I used a Doepfer modular, twin Kaoss pads and a waterphone along with a boatload of samples.

All other files are Todd's: metaliton, buchla2Crop, eviExtended, and buchlaStormBirds, SpaceMetal, buchlaDemo2, buchlaDrumSolo, eviSerge and eviSerge2.
evi, buchla, serge"

A Drumbuddy Going up for Auction

Remember the Drumbuddy?

It looks like one will be up for auction on Jan 26th. I'm guessing this is indeed for 2008 as there is an update for 2007 on this site. You can read more about the Drumbuddy there, including more images of the 2007 Drumbuddy's, but DO NOT miss the official Drumbuddy site.

Austin Powers impersonation: Yeah... Baby. And don't miss the video (click on the image and watch it through).

snip:
"Only 10 Drum Buddies were made - all in New Orleans, Louisiana - and the one for sale (in the photo above) is serial #1. It is also the instrument which was originally intended to belong to Quintron. He has decided to let this one go and give 10% of all profits to the New Orleans Musician's clinic. The starting price is $5000 and the ebay auction will begin on Saturday, Jan. 26th @ 11:59pm and end on Tuesday, Feb 5th (Mardi Gras day) @ 11:59pm All 10 of the Drum Buddies except this one at FRESH KILLS have been spoken for -mostly by New Orleans Swamp Tech DJs. New York City musician Laurie Anderson has acquired one for her band as well as Los Angeles guitarist Nels Cline - famed improve music guru and latest member of the band Wilco."
