tiction experiment 1

"My first attempt at a Tiction piece, triggering various instruments in Live 8.
Thanks to Hans Kuder for making a very cool thing."

"Tiction is a flexible, nodal music sequencer.

It’s pretty simple: Each node represents an event, and a connection from one node to the next triggers the next event after a certain number of tics. Nodes send MIDI note messages and/or MIDI controller change messages when triggered. Connecting nodes in a circuit lets you start a repeating pattern when one of the nodes is triggered.

A node can change its pitch and controller values based on its position on the screen. When a node is triggered, it performs some physical action: either repelling or attracting other nearby nodes, or nudging itself in a random direction. The physical interaction between nodes allows you to construct complex, rhythmic melodies and effects without having to draw filter envelopes or touch a traditional sequencer."

"Granada", a drum machine, and some cupcakes.

"Some of you may wonder what this baking story has to do with "Granada" and "Lay love on you".
But when Daft Punk can do a techno video about making pasta sauce ("Revolution 909") I can very well make an organ video about making cupcakes!
The drum machine is a Roland CR-68, the organ is a Yamaha HE-8 and I also used the little Viscount RBX-850 organ and the Roland JX-8P synthesizer."

Super Pig!

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"We were going for the ultimate Pigtronix Mothership Guitar Synth patch. This is what we came up with!

Besides our lack of good time this setup is incredibly fun. We used every Pigtronix pedal except the awesome Philosopher's Tone Compressor and the brutal PolySaturator distortion.

This is a pure squarewave synth tone from the MGS, no dry guitar. The AttackSustain really pulls the guitar synth patch together. It's an audio triggered envelope with variable attack and decay times. The Disnortion sounds so cool we had to turn all three, overdrive, fuzz and octave-up on. The EP-1 is doing a super-slow phase while the Echolution is giving us a cool modulated slapback echo.

Super Pig!"
