YouTube via znshn "Wave study w/ Sleepdrone 5, Sherman Filterbank 2, Jomox M-Resonator, Dual Tone Generator + Tenori-On. Contents : square wave, oscillators, analog filtering, micro-pulses, clicks, glitches...
Warning : This video contains very high frequencies.
N.B.- According to a fictitious etymology, the term Zn'shñ signifies: the gleam of dark colours. Deliberately antithetic and intentionally enigmatic, Zn'shñ is enthused by Butoh iconography, Japanese Gagaku aesthetic and Tibetan rituals codification. Operating as a dual electronic unit (mulit-instrumentalis/composer Franck Smith and artist/sound-activist Elvire Bastendorff), Zn'shñ deepens some very specific works around digital phonocrafting and noise manufacturing. IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND-SYSTEM.
Material in this video: - Sleepdrone 5 (via main output) - 2 Benfox Dual Tone Generator - Sherman Filterbank 2 - Jomox M-Resonator - Benfox Ben HF - TENORI-ON - Space Echo RE-20 - Electro Harmonix Pulsar

"Narrativas Sonoras is a very simple audio sequencer that uses granular synthesis at it’s core engine. Note: The interface appears slow due to the overload caused by the video capture software, the application actually runs smoothly, but only on a recent computer!
Modo stands for -modulating oscillators- and is basically a midi CC-sequencer. In detail, the sequencer try to mimic a LFO behaviour with ability to modulate each other. It let you create fancy animation curves, you wouldn't want to draw these by hand. More soon on monome forum."
"My electronic tabla (it says "proffessional") controls my home built 32 step sequencer, of which 20 positions are used for this rhythm. The Sool rhythm has 10 beats per cycle.
The sequencer not only plays these voltages up or down, but it can also derive other patterns. I worked these out and implemented these in hardware. I would have to look up how I did this. I do not think of it anymore, as each of the patters is useful. So in a live situation, I just choose a different one at random.
The output of the sequencer is analog, and sends out 0-10 volt. This is then converted to midi by my new miduino, a circuit by Tom Scarff. The software was partley rewritten by me. to make it play in the key of my choice. Using a very secrative math trick called rounding, I made the sequencer play in a minor key, rather than in the 12 tone system. This allows for live tweaking of the knobs without ever being out of key. Freedom!
Then there's my Arcade joystick, which has an home baked circuit that converts the 4 switches and the fire button to 15 different notes, and connects right onto the keyboard matrix of an old casio childrens keyboard which cooks midi note messages. I would do this in the miduino too if I needed to do it again. A series of if/else statements is much easier and more flexible than soldering and debugging a circuit with 8 logic IC's and a over a meter of wire.
Then there's the large joystick. It has a doepfer midiconvertor on board. The miduino has enough pins to do it all together, but I like the fact that it is a funtional unit on it's own. It controls all the effects of the Arcade channel.
The pitch of the tabla can be controlled by the sequencer as well as by the Atari paddle. I made this input on the tabla when I replaced the tuning pot with a precise ten-turn pot. It works with two vactrols.
Sound sources are: cymbals, a Raagini shruti box, the tabla box, a Waldorf Blofeld running 2 patches amplified by a 40 year old Italian tube amp.
I recorded it with my photocamera, which has a rediculously low audio sampling rate. They all have. It's just not a number the camera's are sold by. I should have checked weather I was in the image myself. Now I am a pair of hands on youtube too, looking like the Lorax of Dr. Seuss. A well. It's just a test drive to check if my work is getting somewhere."
"I just got around to posting about a track that I made that focuses on multitracked modular lines and sampled modular sounds for percussion (along with a nearly irresistible modular pic and a description of how it was somewhat inspired by some of Stretta's newer modular work) over at http://www.isotopeofme.com/isotopics/?p=102.
"The pioneering Sonic 6 has a complex and intriguing background, featuring not only the synth industry's most famous name, Bob Moog, but also that of an unsung hero called Gene Zumcheck -- a shadowy figure now, but one whose contribution to synthesis deserves acknowledgement....
At this point, let's spare a thought for Gene Zumcheck. Having (allegedly) fallen out with Bob Moog once before, he again found himself working alongside the man, and soon left the company. Once Zumcheck had departed for the second time, Moog decided to take the Sonic V and turn it into a Moog product. To do so, he made just one significant change; he returned to one of the rejected 1969 drawings for the Minimoog (one that never made it, even as a prototype), and installed the Sonic V's circuitry and keyboard into this. He then added a pitch-bend wheel and glissando control. The result was the Moog Sonic 6."

Thanks to everyone who bought the Lapse EP on vinyl - incredibly, almost every store worldwide that it was shipped to has sold out in under a week! It featured in the Juno minimal/tech-house charts when it was in stock and has got into the top 10 best sellers on various shops..!
There are still a couple of places online that you can pick up a copy - try www.plastic-music.co.uk if you can't find one. :-)
The digital release is out on Thursday on Beatport and all major MP3 stores...thanks for watching, commenting, supporting..it means a whole lot to me.
