"Favorite Hardware Predictably it has to be my euro rack modular, two years ago I would have said the DSI Evolver, but the modular has eclipsed that. Patching is akin to playing chess, or raking a sand garden, it’s a blank slate with a kazillion options and if you manage to explore every option just swap out a module with another one and suddenly you are back to option 1 with a kazillion to go, oh and it sounds good too. The resurgence of modular synthesis has to be an indicator that humanity is getting better."

"Polivoks had been produced since 1982 by Formanta electronic factory (one of the biggest at the time); it was sold exclusively in the USSR. Polivoks has its own particular electronic parts, reliable keyboard (49 notes F to E) made in magnetically controlled contacts; synthesis modules consist of independent boards, which is convenient for maintenance. The synthesizer has 2-voices polyphony; each oscillator works with a keyboard note independently; two types of filters - bandpass/lowpass and external input for cutoff control. In addition, Polivoks is housed in an original body of uncommon design with handy controls. Being closed with a cover, the synthesizer turns into a strong aluminum case.

YouTube via JohnLRice. follow-up to this post. "his is just one minute of my previous peice "Spirits Of The Temple Electric" stretched out to be four minutes long. The images and music play four times slower although I kept the audio pitch the same. Please see the notes on the previous peice for more infomation.
There will be a third installment coming soon subtitled "Still Waters" and will be a selection of some of the better still captures of the previous peice with probably a new soundtrack.

All the sound originates from the sound activated flower in the centre of the screen. The little black blob on top of it is a little interference pickup coil that I made. I found the flower made noises I could detect when it moved with this coil. The coil goes to a little battery powered amp as a sort of pre-amp. From here they go to an Alesis Guitar Fx (Stupid name!) multi fx pedal for manipulation and then out to my monitors.
The flower is triggered by sound so as long as there is a delay somewhere in the fx it constantly re-triggers itself for more manipulation.

The volume configuration of my E'Pro has been recently improved by the addition of a module designed by French electronics wizard Thierry Frenkel and I am really pleased with the results. This song seemed like a good way to show off Thierry's modification and, at the same time, celebrate Michael's amazing but very troubled life."
