Me playing Depeche Mode Enjoy The Silenc...

This was on Sonicstate.TV which is no more. You can now find the video here.

"# Me playing Enjoy the Silence. The choir sound was directly sampled from an Emulator II. It sounds very similar to original (sorry, but I can't share the choir sample; the friend who sampled it, warned me for not sharing it. Sorry once again).

Played over a backtape running on Pro Tools.
Synths:
Above: Roland JX-8P
Mid: Roland D10 (triggering emulator sample)
Below: Roland JP8000

Beatesthesia Custom Visulizer

Beatesthesia Custom Visulizer from olly gore on Vimeo.
"Beatesthesia is a highly customizable WYSIWYG music visualizer. Inspired in motive and design by synesthesia.

Synesthesia has inspired many works of art. Art that is meant to evoke synesthetic associations in a non-synesthetic audience has been dubbed synesthetic. Most artists synced sound and light in their performances to achieve this goal. Their efforts were deemed arbitrary because the all relied upon one set schema for an entire audience. If it is at all possible to evoke synesthetic reactions each experience should be fine tuned to a single person.

Beatesthesia allows the user to design their own music visualization. The WYSIWYG editor allows you to easily add audio reactive graphics to either Kick Snare or Hat beats. When a beat is detected the graphical event programmed is then fired.

The interface its self is audio reactive. This increases the speed of the feedback loop. You know exactly what beat you are adding to because you can see it flashing. Beatesthesia allows anyone to create their own music visualization. There is no prior knowledge of audio manipulation or video software needed. Beatesthesia is equally capable of competing with live visual software, the VJ version features a dual display set up for live performance. You can share you creations with others, using the copy paste code system.

DESIGN, EXPERIENCE, SHARE
Beatesthesia was built entirely using Processing.

Rick van der Linden - GX1

via swissdoc:

"today I found a very nice and rare synthesizer LP at a local flea market: Rick van der Linden - GX1. As the name suggest, the whole record is done with the Yamaha GX1 synthesizer.

It is dated 1977.

Here's the cover of the LP. (pictured)

Some information about Rick van der Linden: link

There seems to be a torrent available for downloading the music"

Mr Clacks Synthesizer extravaganza

via Mr Clack

"Baby baby ive been busy,

Here is 3 synthesizers I Finally got round to putting together in the last 3 months. I put them in my fine art degree show so I got to get some good snaps of them.

left to right [top to bottom here]

Dual MFOS Soundlab and Keyboard
with S+H and Drum trigger
the mixers can take all 4 of the available oscillators

ASM-2 semi-modular
without patching the left side is 2 saws to state variable then vca
right 2 squares to LP moog then VCA



CLONE MODULAR

Built to act like a traditional subtractive modular. stupidly dense ( it needs to be due to lack of bedroom space ) trying to fit a sort of bank of well know filters thats , polivoks, steiner, arp, moog, korg ms20, korg resonator, ems, wasp etc - 6 YU vco's and some unusual modules like fritz chaos , tube vca, S+H/T+H, attenuverter, Noise cornicopia . with a little vca bank, it should be possible to get about 5 voices going at once. the mixers are not yet on it ( they go in the 1 u strips ) . 2xfritz AR 2xMFOS AR 1xYUADSR 1xMFOS ADSR - the mfos AR has repeat so it should double up as a sort of trapezoid LFO. It should be possible when its complete to do some FM experiments too

at the moment they only just work, but in a few months they should be all operating and then eventually in years! I should have them finished!

I screen printed and designed the panels and cases " You can find them on this electro-music.com thread
