"DIY fractal synth uses a PIC chip and very little else to make some cool sounds. Open source project is found on the web in electro-music.com forums. Someday I'll improve the cardboard box!"

Overdubbing Solo Chamberlin Voice to the Mazurka

"Yesterday was a really good day in the studio. Me and Matti continued our work for the Theatre production of Bröderna Lejonhjärta (by Astrid Lindgren, the author of the Pippi books) for Stadsteatern. Yesterday we started working on the song part. All of these little films are merely snapshots of the work we are doing...In the end it is all up to the director to chisel out the moods and sounds he wants.

Yesterday we recorded two song Ideas one is for the Guldtuppen scene which is a sort medieval bar setting. The idea was to do a more rowdy cirkusy thing...So naturally we used the Optigan this time we pulled out a fairly rare one...The Mazurka disc from the Polka time package.

If you are curious about the studio please mumble by the homepage for more info and pics, booking and stuff. www.roth-handle.nu It has been a while since it was updated but there might be some bits and pieces of info you might find interesting.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias"

"Just some trippy video junk and sounds by Quantum-Source. Done with magix music maker, RS7000 sounds, and an old recording of some altered mp3 player plugins. Enjoy!"

Yesterday we recorded two song Ideas. This one is for the main character Skorpan. The main beat and chord sequence were recorded using a casio sk-1 that I bought in june at a fleamarket at a farm.

Simply, it is another squarewave noisebox, or so I thought. It features 4 oscillators, some for audio, some LFO for controlling various parameters such as pitch and Attack/Release but the feature that gets me is the Power Starve. This knob emulates a dying battery by limiting the power going into the box making all the functions change personalities. It creates wonderful subtle noises in the background I've never heard before anywhere else. Yes, its made of wood and its 97 British Pounds which equals about 150 bucks. That's a deal considering you can have this process external audio."

"Four tiny drum machines with analog sound, IR wireless network, and photocell control.

One drum is running through a DigiTech Synth Wah pedal. The other three are mixed dry. The mix is playing through a guitar amp.
