Electribe vs the q960 MOTM 420 combo I Love Chad

YouTube via RothHandle
"A short film of me mumbling around in the studio trying to...create something. The Modular system is getting a bit of a workout. It is a bit of a mutt...Mixing modules from MOTM, Moog and Synthesizers.com...and it is getting worse...I am currently waiting for more stuff to arrive and I expect my musical orientation to didintegrate over the next couple of motnhs as I patch away into the darkness of noise and mono sound.

I love Chad. The country."

Cinematic session 3 Recording the Persephone

YouTube via RothHandle

"I am currently working on a couple of different projects but one of the most interesting and exciting right now is a score for a norwegian film I am working on with the ever so talented Matti Bye. Me and Matti met in the late 90s and we played together in a project called Ingy for a short while. After that we did some music for a silent moviw and then we sorted drifted different and separate ways for a couple of years. Matti is one of swedens most sought after and in demand composers and perormers and he is very active in a wide array of settings, genres and musical styles. He is one of the most talented musicians I have ever had a chance to work with. He is very intuitive, fast and uses his ears more than his fingers a lot of the time which is a wonderful thing for a musician. You start by listening, then you play.

When we met again several years later we had some coffee in the studio and immediately started discussing the idea of playing together again...This resulted in a album called Elephant & Castle which will be released this fall in Sweden. The music on the album is very ,much based around the instruments in the studio. A lot of weird screechy organs, optigans and Mellotrons. It is all sort of dressed in Cirkus clothes... and to top it off we also used the pipe organ a lot. The album was a lot of fun to do so these sessions are sort of an extension of that creativity and energy.

In this film you can see Matti playin a quite odd instrument, the french Persephone which is more or less a ribbon controller with a built in oscillator, fun for the entire family...

This little snippet was filmed using my cell phone. It was shot at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. If you are curious to know more about the studio, please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

Cinematic Session 3 Recording the Yamaha GS 2 through the MOTM 420 filter

"IN this film you can see Matti playing the elusive and very heavy Yamaha GS-2. This was treated through my spanking new Modular system. In this film the Yamaha is going through the Motm-420 filter and a synthesizers.com reverb"

Cinematic session 3 recording the Mellotron Boys Choir through the MOTM 420 filter

"In this film you can see Matti playing Mellotron 400 #563 with Boys Choir tapes in it. This is going through my Modular set up."

Powertran Transcendent 2000

via this auction
"vintage synth from around 1980. Sold in kit form through the ETI magazine for a couple of years

Not just any old kit.... Designed by the legendry Tim Orr who was the man behind many of the classic EMS synths from the 1970s as used by Pink Floyd among many (Dark side of the moon)

This model was used by Joy Division and New Order on early tracks and sounds great for the Blue Monday type bouncy basslines as well as very strange and wonderful effects and lead lines. Its one of the simplest units to use and to get great sounds from, you will be at home with it in a matter of a few hours

This does a lot of stuff not possible on Minimoogs or Korg MS synths. Very much all its own character and tone

Has a great sample and hold effect for weird repetative sounds.. very spooky as used in old 1980s horror films (think John Carpenter)

Single osc system with a very full sound, cone destroying bass and resonance with ease"

This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.

This particular piece features four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.."
