Cinematic session 5 recording the Yamaha CS 60

YouTube via RothHandle
"The work on the music for norwegian film Vegas continues. Me and Matti have been recording 18 different pieces ranging from full on rhythm ic distorted stuff to very ambients sheets of sound. And pretty much everything in between. The work process is very open and intuitive.We try to make to-do lists but we get derailed and start working whatever impulse guides us. The sessions are in short, really really fun.

In this film you can see Matti playing my Yamaha CS-60. It is the cousin of the CS-80. I havent used too much as it isnt really one of my favorites in the studio but I think it works here...In context.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios, Stockholm. It is run by me, Mattias Olsson and this is where I record and produce artists and albums. If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for the occasional blog, instrument articles and general info. If you are curious to hear some music that was recorded at the studio please visit http://www.myspace.com/molesome

Thanks for watching."

hypercyclic

"hypercyclic is an LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect and step sequencer for mangling MIDI input chords. It won 2nd place in the KVRAudio.com Developer Challenge '07.

Two tempo-synced LFOs can be used to modulate various parameters to create interesting rhythmic effects and chord variations. A unique feature is the possiblity to modulate the sequencer step size itself, which is useful for creating glitchy stuttering effects.

The sweetspot for hypercyclic is the narrow border between chaos and regularity. Or, in other words, how to induce a certain pleasant randomness, yet forcing everything to align again on the bar or beat boundaries.

The product is further complemented by a groove function for playing slightly off the beat. The groove parameters can also be modulated over time by the LFOs, adding to the rhythmic variation."

"Cobra Starship, supporting Panic at the Disco, at Acer Arena, Sydney, 22 August 2008.

Shot for Sidestage Zine, Issue 002.

This is definitely my favourite of all the shots I took of Cobra Starship. The way the light just lined up surprises me each time I look at this.

It helps that Vicky-T is also very easy on the eyes!"
