Tongue Drum for iPhone (Rubber Ball Mallet)

YouTube via earsmack http://earsmack.com/tonguedrum
" (earsmack music) presents Tongue Drum for iPhone.

Tongue Drum is an iPhone native application modeled after a real tongue drum.

The original tongue drum was hand-crafted by Steve Roberts at TongueDrum.com. It was meticulously sampled and turned into a convenient iPhone application by (earsmack music) to allow the tongue drum enthusiast to have the sound of the tongue drum with them at all times.

The application contains rubber ball, waxed cork and waxed dowel mallets along with an added bonus analog synthesized mallet thanks to the Moog Voyager synthesizer.

Even beginners can easily create pleasant music on the tongue drum thanks to the E Pentatonic Major tuning. Other tunings are also available in the app for your enjoyment. Pick any tuning and any mallet then tap away to create wonderful polyphonic music on your very own tongue drum.

Love it and need the real deal? Contact steve@tonguedrum.com for information on ordering your very own Tongue Drum and exotic mallet set.

Curtis Roads Update

A couple of updates and good comments coming in on this prior post.

Some Old Audiovisualizers and new synthesizer sounds

YouTube via VironCybernet
"Late 1980's LYTE audiovisualizer, large VU meter, and small LED VU meter all responding to some new synthesizer sounds I made. Except I didn't make the LYTE.

If you like the sounds, you can download an mp3 of them at:

It's just a phase

YouTube via mysteritmo
"This piece of music was created during the first test of my new phaser; The Big Brick Stage Edition. The phaser was built by Michael Kukat inspired by the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser. Make sure to watch all his You Tube videos building the phaser from start to finish."
That would be these videos.

Spring Chicken and the Vostok

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here's a dirty little sequence from the Analogue Solutions Vostok suitcase synth. We're running it through the new Malekko Heavy Industry Spring Chicken reverb pedal. The Spring Chicken sounds awesome and the controls are pretty easy. You've got one knob. If you want more spring reverb, turn it up! This is the super slick red version of the Vostok. We decided to skip the pin matrix (not Matrixsynth!) and use patch cables this time. The Vostok is pretty gnarly and it's definitely unique." :)

Announcing MATRIXSYNTH-C

I just created MATRIXSYNTH-C. What is it? In short it will be a blog for "Bands That Play Synths" and support MATRIXSYNTH. The focus will be on the music. It's my way of saying thank you to anyone that supports the site. I'm going to limit posts to vids that are directly sent in by you, the readers. To keep any one person from overtaking the site, please chose what you send in carefully. Showcase your best. The only rule is the music has to feature synths, BUT, it doesn't have to be specifically about the synths like here on MATRIXSYNTH.

MATRIXSYNTH is all about the gear first
MATRIXSYNTH-C is all about the music first
MATRIXSYNTH-B is all about gear for sale first

My contact info is on the bottom right of this site.

Thanks goes to Chris Randall for the orange. I've been meaning to start this site for some time but wasn't sure what color to go with until he commented on orange being next year's green in response to Peter Kirn's comment in this post. Maybe he's right. :)

My Intern David recording Double Tremeloed Omnichord

YouTube via RothHandle
"Yesterday we kept on working on the Victorias Moralez track piecing together rhythms and ambient stuff to create layers to be used behind the song. My intern David was a complete trouper helping me out. My initial idea was to have a Autoharp chord at the beginning of the "big " middle section but it didnt really turn out too great. So we moved on to the Jery JOnes sitar and tuned the resonator strings....still didnt do the track. So...finally we ended up recording the OMnichord using two tyremeloes to give it a wide random fluttery effect. This was of course dubbed to enhance the effect.

If you are curious about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more information, booking and blogs.

Thank for watching !
