Update to November 8th City Skies 08 event

via Jim on AH:

"Due to a fall and broken bones, Richard Lainhart has had to postpone his City Skies appearance until next year (we'll update you when we finalize the scheduling). We're disappointed we'll have to wait to hear from this incredible performer, but are happy to know Richard is at home and is on the mend. We wish him a quick recovery and look forward to seeing him next Spring.

In his place, several incredible performers have agreed to step in at the last minute and help keep the analog vibe we had planned on Saturday, November 8th at Kavarna in Decatur, GA:

IDM masters Richard Devine and Josh Kay will be performing live together with their huge Custom Doepfer analog modular systems, along with the Yamaha Tenori-On and Jazzmutant Lemur digital controllers. Richard was a highlight of the May City Skies Festival, and he promises to amaze us again.

To keep a Buchla 200e synth on stage this week, Don Hassler will be joining us for a set of wild and wonderful analog madness, also bringing his EMS Synthi and Serge modular synths.

And, as previously planned, Wendy Owens of Collaboration with Sounds from South Carolina will be sharing her wonderful sound-making, and Jim Combs and Klimchak, collectively known as Bribing The Buddha, will open the show with their down-tempo, ambient, 12-fold audio path. Klimchak will be using his Buchla Marimba Lumina.

We advise you to get your tickets prior to the event as Richard Devine and Josh Kay will most certainly draw a big crowd.

Richard Lainhart's work has appeared numerous times here on MATRIXSYNTH. Our thoughts are with you Richard, we hope you get better real soon.

A footnote: I guess you could say we are a cross between eBay and a dealer. 10% buyer's premium, possibly packing charges on very cheap, large and/or difficult things, but much more security than eBay, and consolidated shipments wherever possible.
Based in England, but sending worldwide. Priced in pounds, so very good for dollar, Euro and yen people right now. Peter Forrest"

Cwejman MMF-1 Does Chiptune

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"The Cwejman MMF-1 multimode filter is really a great sounding filter, both for filtering and oscillation! This is the MMF-1 self-oscillating. The first bit is the low pass mode being controlled by the Analogue Systems rs200. It is then ran through the quantizer module, the rs260, and then into the Cwejman cutoff frequency. The next bit you hear is the unique dual band pass mode of the MMF-1. By adjusting the "Spacing" knob, which controls the bandwidth, you can achieve some very cool sounds."

Cwejman D-LFO Complex LFO's

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here is a demo of the incredible Cwejman D-LFO, dual low frequency oscillator. The D-LFO can act as two independent LFOs or can combine the two sides to create complex modulation sources or audio sources. You can let each waveform run free or sync them. There's also a very very cool "Sync Trip Point" knob which allows you to decide where in the waveform the cycle of the second LFO is restarted. We're modulating the Cwejman MMF-1, which is set to self-resonate. Wow. Great module!"
