duo pantoMorf - improvisation

YouTube via otoskope
"duo pantoMorf is a Swedish electronic free impro duo and research project. Beginning in 2006, they have actively developed new ways of controlling electronic sound. The video shows an improvisation on two instances of the instrument "the expressure pad", which has become their main performance instrument. Based on a completely novel way of mapping gesture sound, it allows enormous timberal flexibility and expressive fingertip control at the same time. Both members have a background as musicians on traditiona instruments, and this duo represents is one of the results of their efforts in bringing back musicianship into electronic music, that is, to be able to play electronic sounds as directly as acoustic instruments. The dogmas are: If we lift our hands, the instrument goes silent. That means, there are no pre-programmed processes, and every sound nuance corresponds to a physical gesture from the musician.

duo pantoMorf have performed in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, USA and Canada. Further tours are planned, for Portugal (October 2009) and USA (March 2010).

Korg Ds-10 Sci-Fi Fx Patch - Pulse Coil Weaponry

YouTube via ChrisLody
"Okay, so this is of little musical use I admit, but every synth needs it ridiculous sci-fi fx patches right? So here's mine.
It's a double layered patch so uses both of the synhts at once.
That's about it.
Cheers."

Akai APC40 vs. NI Maschine (Acid Jam)

"My first jam (with a huge hangover today ;) with the new Akai APC40 vs. my beloved Maschine. I also used Massive from Native Instruments for the synth part. Everything as always within Ableton Live 8. The Vocals are done by Mina Fedora. She has such an amzing voice so check her out on myspace.Cheers"

No-longer-accidental Polysynth

YouTube via MusicMiK. follow-up to this post. Be sure to see the second vid below.
"Day #2 of this. Another 4 hours or so. Cleaning up the breadboard with immediately creating new chaos on the clean surface. But now, i can put everything of the voice onto it.
The goal is to have the complete synth, reduced to 1 voice, but the rest as in the 8-voice version, on the breadboard before soldering everything together. This is how development is done most efficiently, in my eyes. It's just a bit complicated to get everything on a breadboard, if the circuits get a bit more complicated.

Anyway - i hope, you like it, the project now has a name - PolyMiK (even if the MonoMiK and the MiK-one still are incomplete :), and i'm looking forward to get good progress in this thing."

PolyMiK breadboard sound demo

"Okay. Added the ring modulator and the OTAs for feedback (resonance) and the VCA.
Things to do - some tricks for offset handling of the multiplexed exponential converter, will give a bunch of trimpots i think.
Need to make sure that i have enough buffer caps for the power, as i have some sync effects i don't want, but all in all, the result is quite okay for less than 12 hours i spent up to now.
More to follow the next weekends.

By the way - in the last video, i forgot the filter capacitors. Thanks to all those stray capacitance of a breadboad, it worked anyway :)"
