Monome 40h

"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.
